Peepo Choo was his attempt to break away from his usual output and an attempt to tackle more complex and absurd themes, but the off-brand Toilet Humor and craziness made the manga very unpopular, and it was canceled three years into its run. Before he started serializing it, he was beloved as a children's author and very popular for his picture books.
