Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Doujin Review: Choudenjihou no Sasoikata by Takumi na Muchi


With the release of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS (A Certain Scientific Railgun SS), I had a newfound interest in checking out all related doujins in my collection. This particular one, Choudenjihou no Sasoikata, was one of the first I’ve encountered that got introduced me to the series in the first place. It’s one of the many examples of when I got introduced and got interested in certain media due to Rule 34.



Fans who’ve watched the series would recognize the opening scene. Though the following conversation after that seems to imply that this is just another chase our two main characters, Misaka and Touma, have done after the first one.

(Top-right panel) Either this part of the text got lost in translation, or the original Japanese script was trying to get the same flavor of dialogue from the source material.

Anyway, Touma tries to get himself out of the situation by suggesting they stop this and do something else more worthwhile. I’m sure from his standpoint, he’s just saying that there are better things to do than just chasing him around. But, by all rights, he seems to be sweet-talking Misaka into something else.


Misaka, as always, falls for it. Not that we can blame her.

What follows afterward was one long drawn-out narrative to get them both into bed. They go their separate ways at first, meet up again a bit later (though by accident), and they conveniently find themselves in a hotel room where one thing led to another. Well, at least it makes a decent porn-with-plot and not just another porn with really good art.

Though, my only problem with the story was that the plot seemed a little too convenient to get the main two characters to have sex. A bit naively sweet, a little too good to be true, and just too damn convenient.

But it involves my most preferred pairing in the entire series, so who am I to complain?          

Besides, there are some scenes in this manga that can be so very much adorable and funny to compensate.

Like this little gem with Misaka in shower…


…then Kuroko taking her turn…


…Misaka out shopping…

I like how this panel references Last Order’s summer dress.

...Misaka's imagine spot about Touma and her "sister"...



…the two’s post-coital moment…


…Misaka’s excuse to, ehem, better “control” her powers…


…and Touma’s reaction to that.


But what really got me laughing out loud was this scenario in the end.


Out of the blue? Yeah. Hilarious? Sure is. In-character? I can so totally see this happening. 

Anyway, it looks like I’ve pretty much shown all the highlights of this doujin. I just hope this won’t stop you from reading it yourselves. The author, Takumi na Muchi, have also done a handful of other Toaru Kagaku no Railgun doujins that are good reads themselves. Still worth a look if you’re interested :)
