Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
Originally serialized in Comic X-Eros from the January 2018/#59 installment, Bubbly Wedding Bath is a twenty-four-page story from creator Ichigou, who has two others works on the service. This marked my first experience with this particular creator and it’s certainly promising. The main thing that got me with it is that even with twenty-four pages it didn’t really get to set up things at the start well enough so that you got the situation and basics of the character’s relationships from the get-go. Ichigou’s artwork is definitely appealing but has some elements to it where it feels like it hasn’t quite been figured out yet with some of the poses and layouts coming across as a bit too crowded and busy when simpler designs and more focus on particular areas across the body would have worked better. Granted, some of this comes from a threesome sequence but the general idea remains.
The premise for this is straightforward enough overall in that it follows a young master of a household that will be taking it over eventually someday. With his young age he’s a bit of a flighty guy at the moment and that has the two women that work there, that are of roughly the same age as him and have been there since they were young, always getting after him to get things done. Which does make for some amusement as Hotaru chases after him pretty hard to get him to do the cleaning while Amane is a bit more relaxed about it, at least until he faceplants right in her chest while trying to escape. After all, who really wants to do all that cleaning when there are robots that should be able to do it. Now, about that bath that had its water replace with alcohol…
It’s here that things get pretty sexy as Amane sneaks into it herself to strip down and enjoy such a luxurious thing. Of course, Satoru shows up not long after and she hides only to be one-upped by Hotaru shows up as well as a skimpy bikini to seduce him. They actually make a bit of progress before it’s too much for Amane as they’re just going so slow at this potential seduction and she just wants to get it done and done now. She takes the lead on all of it and it moves in some pretty fun ways as she makes him realize what she can do. With her larger chest size that becomes the initial focus while Hotaru shows some surprising skills as well. Ichigou handles the sex scene here well as it moves between the two of them really taking control of Satoru, who is just exhausted and kind of fending them off, and it gets explosive several times in a row.
In Summary
Bubbly Wedding Bath has some cute elements to it with what it does but even with all the pages it has at hand it doesn’t establish the setting or characters as well as I had hoped. I like the dynamic between the trio and while Ichigou may overplay some of the physical attributes a bit much in some ways it has a good sense of fun about it even with Satoru’s mild protestations. The artwork is definitely the stronger point here with this work but there are just a few areas where it doesn’t flow well and feels a bit busier than it needs to be. In the end, however, it’s fun enough to kill a few minutes with and enjoy on a basic level.
