Credits Grade: 4 As hentai goes, this is not one of the best. Kawarajima's artiwork is wonderful, but that just can't make up for the read as a whole. The storyline is not strong enough to hold together in and around the rape scenes. The storyline is not usually the main focus of hentai anyway, but this one is distracting, over-simplified, and occasionally confusing - and it's just not needed. Chisato and her father are poor, and after an accident, her father is turned into a cyborg. His will is strong, and he uses his fatherly love to power himself as he tries to rescue his daughter from the son of a bourgeois who is having his way with the unwilling Chisato.Chisato is utterly pathetic - weeping and even throwing in the occasional "boo hoo." The dialogue is ridiculous, especially when you throw in the fact that her father can somehow hear her thoughts as she's having her brains screwed out. Yes, somehow, amidst her yelling and crying, she has a conversation in her head and calls mentally to her father. Throwing in the cybernetic science fiction only hinders the progress of the story as it has no point other than allowing Chisato to be rescued. And the whole "poor enslaved by the rich" thing is so over-simplified it's cheesy. Other than the artwork, there isn't much of a reason to read Fantasy Fighters. Written: July 27, 2002
