It’s more fan service and possibly a date for dense boy Akira who turns into a girl whenever he sneezes! Granted, it does give him lots of time to hang with his true love Yurika. He’s about to find how much fun bowling can be! He goes bowling with the ladies and it becomes a fan service extravaganza! Who knew bowling would be such an ample opportunity for panty shots and more! But Akira is finding out and he’s having a ball! Afterward, they had such a good time that Yurika asks Akira out. That’s right, you heard it correctly, and she asked him out! But is it a date? That’s what’s going on in Akira’s mind the entire time. They go to the beach. It’s all really romantic. But there’s no kiss (There so rarely is in shojo type stuff like this until the end or by accident. A kiss is a serious thing apparently in Japan judging by how manga portrays it). To find out if it was a date, Akira turns into a girl and hangs out with Yurika at the café all day to get the skinny. But a big bully shows up and he wants to date girl-Akira! Shinobu is a scary looking guy. He’s big, he’s tough and he wants Akira. “She” is scared spitless! And she says yes to avoid trouble in the café and for Yurika. The crazy thing is that the date turns almost real! At first Akira acts like a jerk to try to put Shinobu off. But as the date goes on, Akira is having a great time and getting sucked into the big guy’s love! Is Akira going bi? Will he decide it’s more fun to be a she? Will he give up on his long held crush on Yurika? Come on! Recovering from that ball of confusion, Akira goes to the country home of his grandma for a visit and Anju and Yurika come along for the trip. He’s one happy guy. When his grandma tells him the age old custom of men sneaking into the beds of the women they love to win them over, he decides that’s what he should do! He’s big on heart, but small on sense this guy! He does the sneaking. Then he gets caught between Anju and Yurika who are sharing a bedroll! Holy threesome conundrum! And then Anju wakes up!! Well this is a pickle. And snicker. And maybe finally something will happen in this perv’s life. By the end of the volume he and Anju share a secret and it might tip the balance in Anju’s favor! Plus the manga has translation notes, a preview of the next volume in Japanese, and an illustration corner. It also has a bonus manga story about two neighbors, a boy and a girl. The guy is short, the girl teases him and when he wakes up the size of a doll, she’s eager to make him her pet. Is it true love or a weird fetish? Too funny!
IN SUMMARY:
Akira goes on two dates (and one is with a guy!) in the latest fan service antics of Gacha Gacha Next Revolution! It’s great pervy fun! |
