"MOOOO! Lord Momon cries out¸ ready for her meal. MOOOO! Baby sister cries out¸ miserable and cold. As a young teen¸ sweet Miki learns the bizarre truth about her family: for centuries¸ they have harnessed half-cow¸ half-human beasts known as “kudan” for their wealth and power. And soon¸ another shall be born. The hour approaches. Her mother moans in pain as the contractions begin. But all poor Miki can plead is MOTHER¸ PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER! Published in 1988 at the end of the classic era of horror manga¸ MOTHER¸ PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER is a revolting and zany tour de force by the incomparable Shirakawa Marina.

Never before reprinted even in Japan¸ and with an essay about Shirakawa’s mysterious life and career¸ MOTHER¸ PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER is the eighth volume of Smudge¸ a line of vintage horror and dark fantasy manga curated by award-winning historian Ryan Holmberg and published by Living the Line.
