Career edit
Kondom is best known for his long-running Bondage Fairies manga series. The series began in 1990 as Insect Hunter, but it was quickly banned from sale by the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance.[2] Under a new title, the manga was serialized in Sexploitation manga magazine Lemon Kids.[3] In 1994, Antarctic Press localized Bondage Fairies through their Venus Comics imprint, and began publishing the manga in comic book instalments.[4] It was later published by Studio Proteus and Eros Comics, along with sequel series The New Bondage Fairies, Bondage Fairies Extreme, and Fairy Fetish.
In recent decades, Kondom's erotic short manga Keyhole reached memetic status online.[5] The story revolves around a doorknob, interpreted as a young woman, interacting with a homeowner's key. Keyhole was drawn in the late 1990s but published in Kondom's 2005 story collection Actually Erotic Fairy Tales (本当はエロいおとぎ話, Hontou wa Eroi Otogibanashi). In 2012, Keyhole was adapted into a feature-length adult video, retitled "I'm a Doorknob...": Keyhole Pu*sy.[6]
