The freakiest chapter thus far.

Chapter 6 incoming…

A bit more dialed in to what I’m looking to learn about.

Still a very in-depth read but covers a lot of ground in Japanese film history.

Reading in tandem with Behind the Pink Curtain. The intro by Naomi Tani was powerful.

Not as exciting as the others, but I’ll power through

Truly insane stories, far from the film I watched.

A bit more cinematic as far as storytelling and situations. Great read.

Reading about ama culture was actor interesting. No idea this was a thing.

Very deep dive in here.

The wisdom in these pages is profound.

Spicy read, but quite interesting to see how this genre was more accepting in Japan. Under strict rule of course but fully less taboo than here.

Back with the boys, little cub is growing up.

Uhh, that’s a pretty gruesome chapter.

Wild.

Brutality.

Fiery to say the least

Rider #2 is quite cocky.

Much different than the live action film, but loving the art form.

Uh, quite a turn of events.

For what it’s worth, this book sure is lewd.

Cobra man isn’t my fav villain, but Medusa woman looked cool.

Feels a little redundant but I’m here for the long haul !

Watching in tandem with the series, this outta be good.

Going to the origins of Kamen Rider.

I forget which page I’m on but Miss Saeki continues to baffle me. Her interactions with Kafka are always so mysterious.

Boy do these kids know how to “party”.

Don’t know which arc I like more, but Hoshino’s encounter at the end of this particular chapter is surely getting weird.

Picking this back and immediately I’m back in this strange world. Forgot how lovely this novel is.

Starting to get interesting.
