it's not easy reading is the thing; as that article points out, the moron quotient is far too high.but if you have a high tolerance for batshit, woo boy it's the stuff. try for yourself! http://www.mangareader.net/fourteen

Dunno whether to look for a download or wait til I've finished loads of other stuff and maybe then there's a chance of official translation. Can't stand those manga reading sites and I vastly prefer jpeg collections over files for comic reader programmes. Ebooks still don't seem to have made any serious impact on what gets officially translated.
I think it was a mistake to not have Drifting Classroom in omnibus format.

good lord, i finished reading 14. i'll never be the same.I honestly don't know if i should have read it, but it was... fascinating, at least. truly a horrifying nightmare that i'll probably try to forget

This tumblr is enormous. All sorts of things I've never heard of.
Had an interesting time looking through Amazon Japan in preview pages, sometimes it lets you see the majority of the book.
There's actually a lot of original Japanese Umezu books for sale on UK and USA versions of Amazon. I'm a little tempted because sometimes just reading the images can be interesting but most of them are volumes in a long series. Along with Drifting Classroom and Fourteen there's My Name Is Shingo, Orochi Blood and Left Hand of God Right Hand of the Devil.
Curse Of Kazuo Umezu animation is worth watching on youtube. The first story is creepy.
