I read The Hidian Gamers (been collecting most of Konoma Waho's bibliography, including fanzine and magazine exclusives). There isn't much to talk about THG aside from speculation it might be the first TSF ero-manga serial, and Kazuna Kei based one of his characters on the THG faunette.

Interview with Takahashi Chiko:

He currently owns a second-hand bookstore, whose inventory is tied to Mandarake, but his main activity has been reprinting doujinshi for the past 30 years, which includes his own doujinshi like 'Mieko Metamorphosis'.

Takahashi Chiko's (たかはしちこ) legendary 1980 catgirl doujinshi series 'Mieko Metamorphosis' (ミーコメタモルフォセス), which has been compiled into at least 26 books. An important landmark in nekomimi history. Saw this cameo where Mieko slaps Magical Princess Minky Momo.

I see. Patrick's earlier books are self-censored due to his publishers. I've been translating some of the articles (primary sources) Patrick uses in his books, including the one with Miyazaki Hayao's response when Clarisse won 4th place in a popularity vote mentioned in the paper you linked.
