El Unchained

(a Shinku-san Comics production)

In the horrific new publication from Shinku-san Comics, Barcode returns to the Shinku-san Corporation headquarters in an attempt to use his new Ultrasex formula on Shinku-san, hoping to turn Shinku-san into a sex-crazed pervert and make him unable to focus on company issues. Instead, he trips over the supine (and extremely drunk) form of El Bandito passed out on the floor and spills it on him. The resulting monstrosity rapes Barcode with enough force to blast him through a fifth-floor window before leaving to chase down panheadgirl.

The most recently published issue of the story arc is Issue #88 (the last issue).
