Late last month we took a look at Kaitendo's upcoming Ichika, and though it took awhile to be ready, pre-orders for the lovely lady are now open! As expected, Kaitendo went ahead with the transparency effect when crafting her nightie, and it certainly pays off!

Though to be honest, I'd prefer even a touch more transparency, but even as it stands it's a nice effect that allows for just the tiniest bit of visibility through the sheer "fabric". It also seems it may be a bit more noticeable in person than in a photo, so keep that in mind!

Other than the unique clothing effect, she isn't quite my favorite Ichika, but she doesn't seem like a bad pick at all. My only real complaint is the solid whiteness of her top makes the appearance just a little "frumpy" when seen up against the more sheer portion of the nightie. Still, she'll certainly be worth the ¥7,800 when she arrives in May.
