The primary pull of Plastic Girl would be its aesthetic -each page is a work of art. The style is charming enough to appeal outside of an artistic following. I could've given more than a 6 if I didn't think the quality suffers where it's too sloppy, even when considering it's a stylistic choice.

The theme of innocence was firm and put across clearly. It's generally extreme -take it or leave it- and it wasn't predictable, but neither was it particularly fresh. It didn't succeed in making me think as much as it aimed to, and it didn't make me want more. The character wasn't especially ... remarkable in design but she offered complexity, a few of which made me smile.

Despite this manga's nature I'd argue it's some degree of relatable to young women around the world, so I would recommend it for a quick read.
