Mitsuko has a secret crush on her boss, Sakamoto. Hoping to win his favour by losing weight, she takes a diet supplement containing royal jelly pheromones extracted from wasps. The supplement has a side effect however: it transforms her into a homicidal (and sex-hungry) WASP WOMAN.

SLIGHTLY NSFW TRAILER

    A Japanese rendition of the Roger Corman classic. Wasp Woman in Tokyo adds a tiny bit of sleaze and also a romance angle. It’s actually not the softcore trash that you might think it is. It is, however, extremely cheap.

      Well that’s disappointing! 😁

      The “strategically placed” stingers are awesome.

      For sure!

      Great job on Africa Mk. II by the way. I actually really loved the fjords! 🌍🐁🐬

    Where can I watch this? I’ve had no luck finding a subtitled release. I did find a ok quality one without them though. I’d even pay to watch this if it was cheap enough somewhere!

      I watched this without subtitles on some pinku eiga website. I doubt that there’s an English-friendly release available somewhere.

      I do know that Japanese streaming services like U-next have started using LLMs to offer auto-translated subtitles, but they still tend to be on the word salad spectrum.

      Honestly, I could follow this pretty well without subtitles. It’s a silly B-movie after all. 😉
