I didn't know what to expect when picking up a manga adaptation of a live action superhero drama, particularly one made in the 70s. What I got, though, managed to feel exactly like an old Kamen Rider show, surprisingly enough. The dialogue was snappy and very 70s Japanese show, the action scenes were laid out cinematically, and everything just had this fluid feel that I really enjoyed. I haven't watched the original Kamen Rider series, but this made me want to run out and find a copy.
The artwork by Shotaro Ishinomori was also incredible. Lots of full page/full spread action shots with clean lines and a really great look. I've already picked up his other manga adaptation to read next.
This was great fun, highly recommend to any tokusatsu fan.
