"Six Consciousnesses Thought Changing Ataraxia" marked Kago's third version of the concept of a girl entering a cyberspace-like psychic realm wherein she can "hack" people. He first utilized it in "Soul Diver Saga: Nirvana" (1992), only three chapters of which were published before the magazine serializing it (Bandai's Cyber Comix) stopped publication. In 1995, Kago published a much less sexually explicit one-shot simply titled "ataraxia" in Young Jump (later collected in "Hannya Haramita") before this expanded and much kinkier version followed in 2000/2001. Additionally, various characters from this manga appear in other stories by Kago, some of them collected in "Super-Dimensional Love Gun".+
