It's like an insanely horny itchy and scratchy cartoon with a superpowered lesbian android instead of itchy and scratchy. Obscenely offensive and shockingly violent, featuring maybe the most copious amounts of nudity I have ever seen in media. I wouldn't say it is actually good, but it is so damn insane that if you are interested in a diabolically insane thrill ride that takes about 45-80 minutes to read go right ahead. Does end on a small bit of a cliffhanger, albeit it was still satisfying. I will probably watch the show as well in the forseeable future, which appears to have a twinge of ... more class while still being a little... dated.

Turn to the '73 anime if you can find it - The '73 manga has stuff to offer - jokes that land, an iconic drawing style, incredible character expressions and designs, sexy curves, some cool vehicles, vicious action, and a mostly break-neck storytelling pace. This iteration also features plenty of jokes and propaganda-y portrayals that don't age well, an inconsistent tone - sometimes brutal, other times irritatingly non-sensical, and startling lack of empathy to and among the characters.

The main character naturally gets the most love - the humor, the eye candy, the visual appeal, the plot and humanity (barely) all stem from and center ... on the MC, Honey, which leads to the manga tanking when Honey isn't present. All sense of sanity, plot progression, and surprisingly, sex appeal (save for one or two side characters) disappear when Honey does - making the Honey-absent stretches an absolute chore.

Luckily, this manga version ends prematurely but isn't the only attempt at Cutie Honey so why don't you check those out instead?

This manga has a largely female cast. Almost all of which are Lesbian. This work has horrible representation of lesbians. They are either depicted as horny creeps or as very ugly, ogre like women.

The plot is lackluster and uninteresting. I would like to add that this manga ends at a cliff hanger and you need to read a sequel manga to get the full story. I will not be reading that because of how horrendous this one was.

The characters were forgettable and uninteresting. At one point a character died and I didn't care at all. This character, like most wasn't written poorly and had a ... very 2d personality.

The comedy was very dull and on few occasions did I laugh. Though this may be due to how old the work is. I'll give it a pass on that.

There are only two things I can compliment this work on, and both are cosmetic. The artwork was nice and mostly well done. I love old manga art and this was no exception. The other is that Honey and the villain had good character design. Other then that this was utter garbage.

I recommend this work to anyone who wants to inflict pain on oneself.
