This girl is the complete opposite of Honey Kisaragi
For the simple fact that there's no new Cutie Honey content, I've been reading this manga without much expectation. I must say that promoting this Honey Kisaragi as an "exceptional magical girl" is a complete lie.
Starting with the fact that she's more of a red-faced crybaby when she's in her civilian form, and when she's Cutie Honey, she doesn't show much of her as a warrior, but rather a lackluster ecchi spectacle.
Also, in this new chapter, they're supposed to fight a Mazinger-like mecha robot, but... all the girls are cowards, including her.
Except for Natsuko, who proves to be a cool, brave, confident, ready to fight, strong, charming, charismatic girl, with attacks that bear her name, earning the admiration and attraction of the girls, and above all... she's beating that giant robot all by herself!!
That's what Honey should be like, but no ;-;
She just admires Nacchan with a hormonal face xd.
Even when she finally decides to help Nacchan fight because she is the "Super Android Honey, daughter of Dr. Kisaragi" (who is supposed to be the strongest among all those girls who do nothing), she gets caught by the Mecha and is only left as a damsel in distress that Nacchan must save.
As a good point, I want to say that Nacchan has exceeded my expectations of how I thought she would be represented in this manga.
Since Go Nagai's original manga, Natsuko has always been a person of great courage and loyalty to her friends, especially Honey.
Whether she's portrayed as a cute teenager or a police chief, there's a reason Honey once called her "Miss Reckless".
Although she also shows fear to some extent, because after all, she's only human, but not as a complete coward.
Literally she looks like a combination of both versions of her.
No offense to the character, but in this manga Honey looks pathetic compared to her.
She is the complete opposite of what Cutie Honey represents, a super strong, attractive, fit and charismatic girl who does not depend on men.
