Career

Isutoshi wrote and illustrated the Japanese erotic manga series , which humorously focuses on the sex-driven relationship between the chief characters. 'It was first published in 1999 by Fujimi Shuppan. It was translated and published as a six issue series in the U.S. by Eros Comix in 2000. In May 2003 Kodansha released ''Slut Girl +α'', a reprint with an extra chapter. Derek Guder gave the manga series a three-star review in '' Manga: The Complete Guide'', praised for "distinctive" and "expressive" drawings, and the fact that not only are the manga's women well made, but also the recurrent humor: "The story lines are played up for comedic payoff, and you can't help but laugh at the characters' facial expressions liven up otherwise boring sex scenes." Timothy Perper and Martha Cornog praise the expressive translation of the English edition, and describe Sayoko as a "tsuya/yoen" woman, a complex figure with "voluptuous charm" and "bewitching beauty". They describe the manga as being a satire on modern life, especially the role of women in the workplace, and a "long-enduring glass ceiling".Perper, Timothy and Cornog, Martha (March 2002
