Anakubo's most famous work is the Pokémon gag manga, Pokémon Pocket Monsters. It was one of the first ever Pokémon manga and remains one of the longest running Pokémon manga to date. It was serialized in CoroCoro from when it was first created. The manga is about the adventures of a young boy named Red and his rude Clefairy.

Controversy

Though Pocket Monsters was a success, it was briefly taken off the shelves due to nudity in the second chapter of volume one. There was also some nudity in volume two.
