Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! (Volume 1) – A Second Chance at First Love…
What happened?
It was Asumi’s twentieth birthday and she was enjoying her first night of drinking legally with her senpai, Ouka Chishiro. They were drinking and talking when Ouka picked up Asumi’s phone and began to scan the photos. She found an old picture of Asumi when she was younger with another girl. Ouka couldn’t help but feel like she’d seen her before. Then, Asumi told her that she was her first kiss and that it ended terribly. She’d always hoped to find Mai again, but she moved away and they lost contact. That was when Ouka remembered where she had seen Mai before – she was working at a nearby lesbian brothel!
Asumi’s head began to spin at the prospect of finding her first love once more, but when they visited their website, all of the faces were obscured. The names were obviously not reliable either. The only way to find Mai would be to make an appointment and hope that it was her. Asumi felt like that was a little crazy, but Ouka had already booked her one and paid for it for her birthday. The next thing Asumi knew, she was waiting to meet the girl Ouka had booked. Sadly, it wasn’t Mai, but she couldn’t stop now. They went to a Love Hotel where Asumi had her first full experience with a girl. Previously, all she’d done was kiss Mai, and that was only one time!
Asumi reported back to Ouka that it wasn’t Mai, although Ouka wanted to hear more about the night she spent with Sayaka. Then, Asumi booked her next appointment with a different girl. She wasn’t Mai either, but Asumi’s sexual exploration continued. She was getting quite into this. Worried that she wouldn’t be able to afford to find Mai at this rate, Ouka found her a job at a cosplay cafe. She was even able to earn some extra money doing cosplay photoshoots with the boss. Flushed with cash, she could continue her search. Then, Ouka had a great idea. Why didn’t they both book an appointment together? That way, they’d see two girls and hopefully, one would be Mai. They weren’t but the search was far from over!
What did you think?
This was a very cute and fun story. Admittedly, if you’re trying to think things through logically, you will probably tie yourself in mental knots. The fact that Ouka recognised Mai from an old photo is kind of unlikely. It’s also fair to assume that this is a massively rose-tinted view of the lesbian brothel industry. But then, we’re not here for realism, we’re here to see if Asumi can find her lost love and see how much fun she has sleeping with every girl in her way. So far, everyone has been incredibly nice and it’s been a ton of fun. I don’t see that ending because this is not Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight!. I don’t think this is going to get that dark at all.
The real fun comes from the fact that each of the three girls that Asumi has slept with so far knows Mai, and they know that she has a thing for girls like Asumi. Obviously, they don’t realise that Mai is hung up on this Asumi. I love that Asumi has made a name for herself in the brothel for always choosing a different girl. Then, at the end of this volume, Mai followed one of the girls who was going to meet the ‘infamous’ Asumi and was shocked to see that it was her Asumi. What did this mean? Was Asumi secretly a brothel enthusiast? The last panel showed Mai’s phone getting a notification that she had been booked by Asumi. I can’t see her making that appointment just yet. There are four volumes so far and it’s ongoing, so they can’t possibly resolve this after only two volumes. Well, I’m hooked and can’t wait to read more.
