It is in the awakening of the new social order, namely the mass social situation, that many of his early works explored, in an often shocking and uncanny manner, the spheres of the human senses, particularly those of the gaze and of the touch.
Although Ranpo did not ascribe any radical motive to his own writings, his works demonstrated his desire to problematize the notion of identity as the basis of the social, and to free the subjectivity from conceptual closure.
In Ranpo's writings, the concept of self is estranged and concomitantly recuperated in a mimetic form.

Through critical analysis and original translations of their works, this dissertation shows that their depictions of desire between men were shaped not only by changing ideas about gender relations but also the artistic movements and genres with which both authors were associated.
Chapter Four examines Ranpo's essays on representations of male-male desire in Kaita's work, which he saw as embodying an innocent and especially poignant form of boyish affection.
These essays, along with Ranpo's autobiographical essays about his crushes on other schoolboys during his youth, implicitly attempt to disassociate the love of boys from the moralistic and pathologizing rhetoric of sexology.

Gemini was adapted (with considerable freedom) from a short story by Edogawa Ranpo, a Japanese author who often rates little more than a footnote in the East for his choice of name (say it out loud, see what other author it sounds like).
Ranpo wrote some remarkably insightful and psychologically acute fiction in the guise of thrillers and mysteries, on the order of a Japanese Hitchcock.

This mystery, currently regarded as one of his most important, features numerous references to the real-world Ranpo: rumors about him that circulated in the contemporary media; titles, plots and characters clearly intended to make reference to his literature; and allusions to his sometimes nebulous sexual identity.
This paper analyzes Ranpo’s novella using theories of metafiction to discuss the relationship between the extraliterary author and his literary doubles (or is it triples?) depicted in this work.
In addition, theories of the doppelganger as it appears in nineteenth-century German literature are uncannily useful in considering the importance of the following in appreciating Ranpo’s particular version of the literary double: visual modes of perception, conflicted sexual identity, the double as unwanted visitor, and the disruption of myth of the home.

While some women left a mark on the genre as translators and only occasionally writers, their participation was short and had relatively little impact on the genre as a whole.
This is male domination especially perplexing considering much evidence that suggests that there was a significant female readership: for instance, many male authors, including Edogawa Ranpo, first encountered the genre when their mothers read translations of Western works to them during their childhood in Meiji.
In stories by Ranpo and other popular detective fiction writers, young beautiful women were not only slaughtered but also dismembered, with their body parts showcased in Ginza department store displays or used as stage props in theater performances.
