Rco Wada's latest illustration doujinshi High Leg Cut Armor was released during Comiket 78 and features all new works with an armor theme. Many of the art works have an interesting take on the theme, and don't focus as much on creating beautiful girl characters (unlike the cover art work).

The downside of High Leg Cut Armors is the length. Though it's A4-sized and listed as 16 pages when counting the covers, the reality is aside from the cover only 10 pages are used for illustrations. More than that, out of those 10 pages, there are three page-spread illustrations, so really you're only getting seven illustrations aside from the cover.

Of course, you can't measure quality in just numbers, and Rco Wada once again delivers a rather eclectic collection of character designs that manage to fetishize leg armor, which come across as very thigh high-like in the illustrations. Though the blonde girl on the cover is unquestionably a beauty, the girls inside vary from tough to faceless.

Rco Wada provides a commentary for all the illustrations on the last page of the doujinshi. If I didn't like the art work so much, I figure I would have been a lot more disappointed with the release. But Rco Wada's High Leg Cut Armor served as a refreshing change from many of the other Comiket 78 releases I'd been browsing with a style that is all her own ^^
