I love the way the cover of 『悪女な奥さん』 ("Super Charming Wife"*) combines female sexual symbols from throughout history (pouty lips, hot pants, mobile phone) and then tops it all off with a baby. Sexuality through fertility -- that takes us back to prehistory, like a thousand-pound straw that completely obliterates the camel's back.

* ... is the book's official English title, but the Japanese one literally translates as "Wicked Wife".
