Just for info:
Known generally on our side of the pond as "Isle of Beasts," "Juu no Rettou" came out in four volumes. Unfortunately (and the guy who posted the first two volumes pointed this out) the artist got sick or passed away about halfway through the series, and his replacement? Not so much. (Also, the worm-rape scenes, already sporadic, became almost not-there.)
The hero was a mostly-human human-'worm' hybrid with a sort of Siamese-twin worm-head that rose out of his back when he fought. (THAT must be an interesting skeletal structure...)
SPOILER: The series ended very badly, trying to squeeze a happy ending out of tragedy: the heroine sacrifices herself to save the hero from the Big Boss (also a human/worm hybrid, mostly worm); the hero kills the Big Boss but is mortally wounded; the rest of the world neutron-bombs Japan to eradicate the worms; a fully-cognitively-developed hybrid baby (with a worm-head in his back like the hero) emerges completely unharmed from the ruins and wraps himself in "Daddy's" leather jacket.
