CUTEG’s Comiket 77 release Sweet Impact really delivers in both cute girl content and quality. As the first full number volume of her Girl’s Collection series, it sets a high bar with eleven new full-color illustrations, along with notable guest artists.

If you look at the cover image above, you can kind of see in the photo that the underwear in the illustration is a cut-out window. The stripes you’re seeing are on the first page inside. I almost thought the theme of the book was going to be panties judging from the cover. Thankfully, it’s not, but it came pretty close.

Sweet Impact is B5 size and 16-pages with 11 of those featuring artwork by CUTEG and two guest artists. Though it’s not a lot, as you can see the illustrations are lovely. CUTEG does a great job at combining cute and sexy in the details of her original girl illustrations. Even CUTEG’s fan arts with Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, and Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier stand out with their beautiful coloring and non-standard accessories.

Even with such an insane expression on her face, CUTEG still manages to make Makinami Mari Illustrious look cute. This image is a spread, and it’s the only two-page image. Sadly the publisher managed to mess it up, as the two pages don’t align properly and even have a bit of the image missing in the center. Another thing to note is that this one isn’t print to textured pages, so the colors are a lot richer.

There are two guest illustrations by Tiv and Piah. She was also a guest artist in CUTEG’s last doujinshi and plays a much larger role in their joint Comiket 77 release called Meganeko. All in all, it’s another great release from CUTEG in an art style I’m enjoying more and more.
