Line 6:
Maruo started his career by providing short strips for porn magazines, because, as he says, they would publish anything [[Porn Without Plot|as long as there is nudity and sex]]. Indeed, many of his early strips are [[Mind Screw|incomprehensible]]. The America-published anthology ''Ultra-Gash Inferno'' contains the more "readable" stories of early Maruo, while the rest are sometimes available as [[Scanlation]].
 
Maruo's growing fame then allowed him to publish longer stories, of which ''[[Mr. Arashis Amazing Freak Show (Manga)|Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show]]'' has garnered him an international cult following.
 
Maruo's important works include:
* ''[[Mr. Arashis Amazing Freak Show (Manga)|Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show]]'' (1984)
* ''New Atrocities In Blood'' (1988) --: a modern reworking of ''Muzan-e'' (atrocity prints) genre of ''Ukiyo-e''.
* ''Inugami Expert'' (1994)
* ''[[The Laughing Vampire]]'' (2000)
* ''The Strange Tale of Panorama Island'' (2008) --: adaption of a novel by Edogawa Rampo.
* ''Imomushi'' (''The Caterpillar'') (2009) --: another Rampo adaptation.
