I get so tired of people praising the Michael Keikaku series. It was one of Distance's earlier works and even back then it felt imperfect to me; in today's market, I would count it as shit. Poor art, a story that doesn't know where it wants to go, and a superficial inclusion of nearly every softcore /d/ fetish known to man just to try and please everybody. A good first attempt from a circle just getting started but nothing more.
THAT STATED, Michael Keikaku is near and dear to my heart. It was one of the first hentai mangas and doujins I ever downloaded. And I mean ever, like, before Michael Keikaku I was only jacking off to pictures whereas after Michael Keikaku I had seen the light and was from then a doujins-and-manga man. It was also my first exposure to anything remotely /d/. And it was a great first exposure at that: enticing without being too extreme. By not being too extreme, Michael Keikaku was an excellent "gateway hentai" to weirder worlds.
tl;dr a lot of people are probably going to bitch and whine about this /r/equest but you know something? Let 'em. I guarantee every last one of them will download a remade Michael Keikaku if the link is provided. And I'll be one of 'em. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
And honestly, the biggest complaint I have with Michael Keikaku is the crude presentation of Distance's artstyle, so if Distance is going to take Michael Keikaku and redraw it with the art quality we saw in Bi~Chiku, I say MORE POWER TO HIM. (see attached picture)
I only wish more of our favorite hentai artists would do this, i.e. go back and redraw their oldest works with their honed art styles.
