Suehiro Maruo’s now out-of-print manga entitled “Mr. Arashi’s Amazing Freak Show” (1984). I will be discussing and showing clips from Harada’s animated film “Midori — The Girl in the Freak Show” (1992), which was based upon this graphic novel.

Quick reminder that I’m giving a lecture at the Royal Cinema (in Toronto) as part of The Black Museum: Lurid Lectures for the Morbidly Curious on May 13 at 9:15 p.m. I will be showing clips from five Japanese films, a few of which are difficult to find gems of ero guro nansensu.
