In this year of 2020, many people are pushing for political messages to be at the forefront of media, with many groups and opinions expected to be represented while those who don't share that opinion are deemed "politically incorrect" with their lives being destroyed in the process. Likewise, some parts of media a make comments about the society we live in and why we need to change ourselves so we are all truely treated equal. However, the day everyone is treated equal and no one is the but of a joke for being in a group is but a pipe dream that will probably never

pass.
That is why I love media that instead of pushing some message in the audience's face, it just laughes at why we act the way we do, something Chastity Reverse World specialises in.
Story: 8
The story, as you've probably already read up on is a premise I've never really seen before. The stage is set after we are introduced to our heroine as she experiences things men experience such as having your underwear in a bargain bin, or unflinchingly taking off clothes in the middle of summer to avoid the inevitable heatstroke. This leads well into many a comedic antic involving many characters and scenarios. While it does lack direction, an end goal isn't something comedy manga tend to have in mind, anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Art: 8
The art of the manga is headed by hentai artist Mantarou, and is what you would expect and more. The characters are always on model with exaggerated facial expressions aiding the comedic scenes. The designs of the main 3 girls, while a little uninspired are still solid and attractive. It's important to note, however, while sex is directly hinted at and there is full frontal nudity in many scenes, there are no fully drawn sex scenes, despite the manga story being based on a hentai doujin series. Something that will either sour of sweeten your opinion of this manga depending on your taste.
Character: 8
The main 3 characters bounce off of each other beautifully. The main heroine, Ichikawa, is transported to the reverse world and thus spends most of her time adjusting to life there. Kawashima is the biggest sex-craved perv of the 3 and is often seen desperate for sex, even trading porn mags with her Mother. Finally, Kanzaki is a bit of a perv, but her characterisation more focused on her being self-consious due to both her less than stellar attributes and the fact that she's friends with both the most popular girl in school and a sex-crazed lunatic. In a sense, she's kind of like the every-girl in this world of speedos. It's also worth nothing that Ichikawa seems to have replaced her alternate self in this world, as a lot of the comedy is based around d how she used to "like dirty jokes". Overall, really good characters that lend well to the plot.
Enjoyment: 9
Now for the most subjective catagory on MAL. While I greatly enjoyed the comedy taking jabs at society, some people may not like it. There is a chance that some people may find the stereotypes offensive, but if you want my word for it, I think it's harmless.
Overall: 8
This is a really good comedic manga that takes jabs at the world we live in, but there's one major flaw that you may be able to gather from this manga's popularity ranking. There is no official western release, and while not as bad as Berserk or Hunter X Hunter, the last chapter came out 24/12/2019, with many previous chapters releasing inconsistently as well. So unless you can read Japanese, you'll be waiting a while for fan translations. However, this would be an easy 9 if that wasn't the case. It's really good, but there's just not enough chapters and promotion for me to rate it any higher.
