It was good♥️ In addition to the actress's cuteness, the slightly flashy makeup fits the work's atmosphere perfectly, which is endearing. I got excited about the reappearance of the barrier setting after a long time. There's a sense of unity in the costume design and overall concept, giving the impression that every detail has been carefully crafted.
Too Perfect a Match Airi Ichise has already demonstrated an astonishing level of expressiveness in just six months since her debut. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a true bundle of talent. Due to her background as a former announcer, she tends to be perceived as having a clean and intelligent image, and it is precisely this image that makes her a perfect fit for this series. The gap between her refined appearance and the bold performances in the videos is striking, endlessly stimulating the viewer's imagination. In particular, her mastery of dialogue delivery and facial expression control, likely honed during her announcer days, is superb, further fueling fantasies with that contrast. One cannot help but look forward to her future endeavors.
"This kind is fine! No, this kind is good!" This work was clearly made with a thorough understanding of the essence of brainwashing content, and it made my heart pound with emotion.
The core of brainwashing stories—the theme of "having your values and entire life rewritten from the ground up"—and the visual key point, the "brainwashing makeup face," were both depicted with great care. As a specific example of the former, there was a depiction of the passage of time, showing "several months later," and I felt intense excitement at being able to clearly sense that the daily life of a meat doll continued calmly even after the brainwashing. Regarding the latter, I was delighted that there were many close-up shots of the face and direct looks at the camera. This is something I have long yearned for and repeatedly requested in this review section. I fully understand that dramatic realism is especially important in brainwashing works, but I cannot thank them enough for sacrificing some of that to ensure scenes where I can fully enjoy the direct camera gaze.
The quality of the makeup has also returned to the flashy, gaudy style of the early works, which makes me extremely happy. In particular, Ayumi Natsukawa's black-purple lipstick was so breathtakingly beautiful that I felt it would be fine if everyone wore that color.
The choice of costumes was also superb. Above all, I was thrilled as an early fan that the flashy rhinestone piercings were consistently worn. I hope they continue this particular attention to detail in the future.
As for a minor issue I had with past works—the sense of discomfort from characters always wearing cosplay outfits that they would never normally wear—this was brilliantly resolved by a clear distinction: "cosplay outfits during program appearances, and erotic fashion that could be worn on the street in everyday life." However, if I had to ask for more, I would like to see more of the latter everyday outfits. That's because it allows for a more realistic enjoyment of the "dramatic change in values" as the women come to prefer slutty fashion that is always conscious of male gazes.
I look forward to more works that transform refined women into heavily made-up bitchy gyarus. No matter how thick the eyeshadow or eyeliner, or how garish the lip color, I welcome it all.
The setting, costumes, and makeup are good. This work meticulously depicts how a charming female announcer is gradually ensnared by the cunning schemes of a detestable sexually harassing superior, ultimately descending into a subservient puppet under his control, keeping my heart racing throughout the entire development. Particularly outstanding is the careful accumulation of her resistance and humiliation, which strongly immerses the viewer as well.
Airi Ichise and Ayumi Natsukawa's ahegao faces and cosplay costumes are the best. Airi Ichise's beauty is striking, and her delivery of the lines was incredibly captivating. On the other hand, Ayumi Natsukawa is an absolute must-see for fans of brainwashing works, in particular. Scenes where she shows an ecstatic face, unable to contain her euphoric pleasure, and the seamless switch between her sane and erotic persona were masterful—I was in awe of her acting skills. I am convinced that Ayumi Natsukawa is a wonderful actress who will lead brainwashing works from now on.
The pink pervert costume that appears at the end shows a clear dedication to the work, and it makes me strongly wish that such outlandish costumes would be adopted more actively according to the scenes.
However, my one regret is that the red color contacts did not pop as much as I had hoped. I wish they would use ones with a more vivid color.
Also, I would love to see a co-starring role between Ayumi Natsukawa and Asami Mizuhata.
