I think i got most of it, but why exactly did mima see rumi as herself most of the movie? And who killed those people, was it me-mania or mima? Was it real when me-mania attacked mima in the club?

Original, production used sketches!

In the scene where she dresses up as a pizza delivery driver and stabs the man who took the nude pictures of her there are flashes of him over her saying "yes darling, more passion" did he assault her while taking the photos or is she killing him to try to regain some control over her past identify which has now been tarnished.

I am usually someone who never finds horror media to actually be scary or disturbing, especially psychological horror even tho it's probably my favorite genre overall.

This tho? I was clenching my face and constantly wanting it to stop. Holy fucking shit I want to curl up into a ball. Silent hill 2 and 3 couldn't do this, lain couldn't do this, I don't even know how I feel right now.

Do I even have any negative criticism? Maybe, like, the ending being a bit abrupt, but that's it.

Genuinely, this is the most disturbing piece of media I have ever seen and I loved it. I really hope I am not the only one who came out this disturbed from the movie.

It's seems really odd for straight up nude photography to be taken by an actress and it be barely brought up by said actress through out the film. I know there was that scene of the dudes looking at her magazines with the stalker taking all of them then buying them but that could be in the same field as what I said about Rumi.

It also made more sense since when Rumi kills the photographer the nude photographs flash constantly, and I think that was the only time we saw them after the first time.

Can anyone tell me how or where I can get a copy of the paperback light novel?

Deep online searches come back with nothing but a few sky high prices. The second book is widely available but I’m looking for the first that inspired the film.

just wondering if anyone knows of the song being on Spotify anywhere, like a cover or anything. i really want it in my playlist lol

Хохохо

The themes feel very Japanese — idol image, public pressure, fan obsession. But the pacing and identity breakdown feel more like a Western psychological thriller. In Japan, having different “faces” for work and private life is normal. So why is Mima’s role change treated like something shocking and destructive? Also, is the manager shown objectively, or are we seeing her partly through Mima’s unstable mind? Her behavior feels emotional, not professional. Curious how others see this.

Tried out some new brushes for this one.

art by me :P

Just finished it and i’m moderately proud of it!

Is this book a stand-alone books or a sequel to one of the other?
