From the Simple 2000 Series, Volume 50: THE (thanks, Denki!) If I'm reading my Kanji right, that translates to The Stick-Figure Man Squinting Insect Close-Up Of Buttocks. Or, invoking Japanese idiom, "The Gigantic Woman" or perhaps "Giant Babe" (Japan Geeks! Save it! Send your linguistic nuance straight to Ashcraft!)

As a semi-clad Riho Futuba wanders a desolate tropical beach, she is stupid enough to try to pet a truly horrifying crustacean with what appears to be prehensile penises for appendages. She is stung. Now you — an elite Japanese task force — must put her down before she destroys the world by bikini jiggling through it in mammoth slow motion. Supposedly, you beat the game by driving an explosive-laden locomotive into her vagina.

As an interesting aside, when sussing out possible Japanocentric puns for that last sentence, I asked Ashcraft what the Japanese for "I'm coming!" was. "Japanese women don't come," he replied. (That's been my experience as well.) "They go." What, like to the bathroom? Ew. Florian Eckhardt
