Here I present the growth from Suehiro Maruo's story. First he created Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show. I was interested in his work as an abstract horror comic and there was a pretty cool growth here.
Then I found out that back in 1992, he created an animated version under the name 'Midori'. The story follows the manga exactly. Including the growth.
I have not seen this around before, and I thought you all would like it.
The manga is translated, so you can follow the animated version pretty well.
