Heavily mashing up the 1971 Kamen Rider, the SATAM Sonic plots with shades of Kamen Rider X and the Archie Comics Sonic! Should I draw more of the Sonic cast?
The original manga is one my favorite versions of hongo takeshi and Ichimonji hayato's story/stories. Here's two reasons why:
1. Cartoon bug antennas that can move
2. We don't get to see much after hongo and Ichimonji become one rider in shin Kamen rider, and more than half of the manga is just that! When that happens, hongo's facial scars surface alongside ichimonji's 🥹
I can't believe I still haven't finished the manga, I might do that today :)
