In the latest installment of the smash hit harem comedy, the broke boy and girls of Girls Bravo go out on a hiking trip. However, no sooner do they get deep into the woods and ready for a swim when they are beset by hidden traps and soon find themselves lost. What’s gong on? In Girls bravo it’s anybody’s guess! As soon as Yukinari and his female friends recover from the hiking trip, Koyomi gets involved in a search for the owner of a dropped letter at a festival. Soon all the characters of Girls Bravo get involved in the hunt.
Not missing a beat, the next adventure sees the girls’ house sitting at Fukuyama’s and at the mercy of an obedience potion. Now they are at the mercy of the lecherous Fukuyama’s every whim! Yukinari will have to infiltrate the mansion dressed as a girl to save Miharu and the others. Next, Miharu suffers from a toothache which leads to an all out battle to get her to the dentist. After, a school play is being produced to win a competition. Miharu is cast as the princess but Kirie is chosen to be her prince. All should go well if Miharu doesn’t flub her lines, but when Fukuyama shows up to make some mischief, fan service and mishaps converge to create a play no one will forget!
Comedy done over the top, rampant with fan service and sprinkled with sweetness, Girls Bravo wins laughs and hearts with its storytelling. Even amidst all the crazy antics of the girls and Fukuyama with kind and overwhelmed Yukinari striving to help the girls anyway he can, there are moments of sweetness in it all. A perfect example in this volume is the chapter dealing with Koyomi trying to find the owner of the letter she found. It has a heart tugging revelation at the end. It’s also revealed in the way the characters, even Fukuyama, are portrayed. None of them are evil or mean. When push comes to shove, everyone pulls together to help out, even though each person’s form of help is often not that helpful at all but usually leads to hilarious results.
IN SUMMARY:
More adventures of the lovely ladies of Girls Bravo gives readers rampant fan service mixed with sweet moments and abundant laughs. It’s sweet, it’s sexy and it’s one of the funniest harem comedies ever published.
