"GachaGacha would possibly be better served as a short series instead of running for 5 volumes (the other 5 have a different cast)"

So after 5 volumes, they switch to a different cast? Different story or a similar one?

I'm on the edge with this title. Maybe if it had nipples and more nudity [img]/images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif[/img] I could handle he weak story and characters, but like Boys Be it's not holding my attention much after 2 volumes (although I've still bought 7 vols of Boys Be so far, but at least BB still hands us an occational gem story). The cause for her multiple personalites is contrived and didn't seem to be part of the story at the start (it's alost as the author decided he had to explain it suddenly after the first book and whipped something up instead on knowing from the start how it happened).

Slipping this in my 'maybe continue' list.

Just want to give some people a heads up, that while there are plenty of risqué situations there is no nudity in this volume. Plenty of panty shots and close-ups on cleavage but no nudity. (which is typical of Tamakoshi)

No sale from me. This is a story that's full of ecchi possibilities and they are not exploiting that? Thumbs down.

You'll get your wish with the 2nd story (the forementioned other 5 volumes - yes, it's a different cast) In this case, a guy (also high school, slightly perverted, not good with girls, etc.) goes to play gacha gacha in a local arcade and confuses the game by demanding a date with the girl of his dreams. He gets zapped by it, and as a result, every time he sneezes, he turns into a very cute girl. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Basically, his girl side allows him to get closer to the girl of his dreams, antics ensue... yadda, yadda, yadda. And for all you perverts out there who want more nipples and nudity? You got it. We actually do have nipples this time. [img]/images/graemlins/happy.gif[/img] It's a pleasure to see.

As far as the first five volumes go, I enjoyed the story, so I'm buying the whole thing. [img]/images/graemlins/happy.gif[/img]
