I've been curious for years about what the fucking fuck is actually happening in this book, so I decided to translate it (with assistance from multiple websites and dictionaries), figure it out myself, then post the results here. I'm already finding stuff I had no clue about before: did anyone outside of Japan know about the Redland until now?

Obviously this isn't even remotely finished, but I want to put up as much as I can now. Shirow's annotations, divided between world-building and notes on his thought and production process, are REALLY FUCKING EXTENSIVE, and translating them all is going to be a pain -- but a man who puts this much thought and effort even into his porn has to get some kind of respect. (The non-horse-related stuff will have to come in a later update.)

UPDATED: Fuck it, there wasn't a whole lot of translation to do here, so I'm getting to the main part everybody remembers from this. There will be more to come -- eventually including, I hope, the rest of Shirow's notes.

Holy shit, a Masamune Shirow hentai manga in 2026!
Well it's imperfect, but thank you for translating such a unique vision :)

You have my total admiration for taking on this project. This is totally new to me and I'm anxious for you to post the rest, lets face it, the yuri bits are the best. Shame though that this is also censored, I hate the fucking censors with a passion. Thanks and good luck with your efforts.

Now that's something old. From the deep end of old internet.

I love hentai and all, but the world really needed more stuff like Tank Police and less greasy Shirow girls getting railed by anthropomorphic horses.

Lolve shiirow art to deah, but always hate that "hentai" is at most, girls fondling each other and implying sex, but never more than that (and here horse guys fondling the character too)
and yeah this book was always enigma to me, at least now i have context. thanks
