Hmmm, it's missing a unique selling point somehow.
Graphics - seen before
Characters - all seen before
Jobs - the usual
Family - the usual
Decisions - there are no good ones, just a choice between the lesser of two evils.
There are also some inconsistencies regarding the story. MC takes on two thugs without hesitation, but fails to smack away the hand of a groper on the bus or at school.
MC notices an attacker behind her back, but is too stupid to look around to see if there are more.
A syringe injected into his butt knocks him out immediately.
Currently worth 3 stars. If there are to be more, a little more effort needs to be put in and unknown stories just need to be reinterpreted.
I'll keep an eye on it, though, and hope for more. If only because of the female heroine.

Hmm, I'm undecided about whether it should stay at three stars or whether it deserves four stars in its current form.
The graphics are very simple, but their quality varies, making you think there are two or three artists involved.
There are logical errors in the sequence of images, for example, the fight in the marketplace. In one scene, she lost her panties, only to put them back on two frames later so that they could be taken off her.
The QT event comes as a complete surprise and is poorly implemented. Even after I knew what to expect, it took me two more attempts to complete it successfully, because you don't know exactly where to click, whether a certain key is expected, or even a key sequence is required for an evasion test.
I think it's positive that the MC is sometimes defensive (well, she was before) and can hold her own against some gropers. I also like that the male actors aren't always just the typical Japanese ugly old guys and pimply-faced fourteen-year-olds. The portfolio of diverse characters has been very good so far.
Since my English is unfortunately too poor for a fair review, I won't comment further on the text here. However, it's easy to understand even for people like me.
Ultimately, though, I'm sticking with three stars. Perhaps the illustrations so far will be revised later, because, as mentioned, the drawing style is quite different. I realize that some of this is intentional (for example, a faster fight scene), but the eyes and chin are portrayed differently too often for me.
I also think the villain is miscast. The fact that the gangster boss is also the school principal doesn't fit in my opinion. It's also not true that the boy didn't know her as an amateur martial artist. After all, they're in the same school, and a martial arts student should be known, or rather, depending on their background, girls practicing martial arts are not uncommon.
Her yellow belt already suggests 1-3 years of training, although the finger-tweaking against her master would be significantly more advanced. But that's just my applied layman's knowledge.
Some scenes aren't consistently followed up. She was groped on her first ride to school on the bus. How does she get to school after that, or home from school? She doesn't have to be groped every time, but an element is missing here to better define transitions in the locations.
Other elements could also be incorporated. She dozes off briefly, and there are panty flashes. A dog briefly sniffs her skirt. She makes way for older people or picks something up from the floor for someone.
She drives a bit with a friend, and they can gossip together.
So far, short, but good, with plenty of room for improvement.
