This was cute, I'm mad it could not be developed further as it's just a oneshot.
I liked the artstyle, but I may be biased as I enjoy most if not all of gyarus representation.
If it eventually gets picked up to continue and it has anything else to offer i'd read it, it could just be lacking a plot twist or hook cause it seems like there's many gyaru-romance manga and anime out there with a similar premise, fell flat and short.
Also they just discarded the first girl and the gyaru group didn't seem to have any protagonism in anything so it didn't feel like ... a real threat but at the sametime i couldn't fully enjoy the date as I was on the verge of thinking "this is all a big joke, okay"

so, here I'm writing my first review in MAL and it's for nothing other than Boku no pico, why?
I was a victim of grooming and therefore I'll take this with seriousness and show my pov of how something vaguely similar I've been trough made me react to this differently. I watched this for the first time at around 14 yo, and I liked it, and rewatched it many times. This showed how grooming works in such a realistic manner, without a third interfeering that my younger self couldn't pinpoint that this was extremely worng (altough I would have never wanted to be the "chaser") it ... was just a matter of: this kinda looks like my relationship with x, cool, I have something relatable.
anyways, this has a good animation, a realistic plot overall and doesn't go too deep into any of the characters lives (ofc), it is a disgusting showcase of how predators interact with children and make them feel like...okay

2/10 cause it made little me realize who I wasn't going to become, and that I wasn't alone
