Slugline: Someone finally gets to see a woman's breast in a sauna!
It just seems that I am reviewing a lot of adult material lately. The next title in this trend is Gacha Gacha: The Next Revolution from Del Rey. It is an ecchi title, which means it features lots of skimpy clothing and teasing, but what earns this title its M rating is the artist's courage to show the characters topless. Usually that's a no-no, but it's actually a relief for me after years of transparent cowardice and the fact that the story is actually willing to draw a simple female breast makes it bold!
Well, maybe not really, but I am willing to give them points for breaking the rules. I do like the art, and the character designs and costumes are very nice. But it does suffer from the old "guy turns into a girl in order to be close to a girl he likes" tropes. Now, not all of his desires are lewd, he wants to be friends with her, but by the same token he does enjoy the moments when he physically gets close to her. So it's not irredeemable, but neither is it particularly exiciting, just an above average ecchi title, which is still a damning with faint praise sort of thing.
Gacha Gacha: The Next Revolution is also available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga.
