The story of a teenage boy called Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while working as an upskirt photographer in an offshoot of the porn industry. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing – which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian – dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with Catholic guilt. A television miniseries extension of Sion Sono's 2008 tragicomedy.

Sion Sono can't be real, I think he's a social experiment.

A truly spiritual “hentai” experience.

Im glad i watched this over the movie because that extra 45mins gives so much more building on the story.

“Invisible bullets are flying everywhere I go. Nobody thinks they’ll be the one who’s hit and dies. But those bullets are flying all over this peaceful town. Flying Everywhere. For those who can see the bullets, death isn’t an accident. It’s like a knock on the door. They know it has come.”

While the added scenes in here make Koike a way more complex character and one that the viewer is easier to emphatize with, in my books, the theatrical cut clearly remains as the superior version due to its immaculate pacing. Nevertheless, this TV cut is absolutely brilliant because at the end of the day it's still Love Exposure that to me is one of, if not, my favourite works of art that I've come across with. It's almost concerning how a film so bizarre and at times insanely goofy can simultaneously have such a deeply profound and emotional connection with so many individuals, myself included.
