  The only thing better than one shota boycrush is two, right? Things aren't really that different from the first episode.

  The story of young Pico and his homoerotic escapades continues in this second installment of the Boku no Pico series. Hopefully the squeamish people are a moot point by this review, because they won't have sat through episode 1. This one is an entirely distinct story from the first, and doesn't seem to reference it in any way, for better or for worse.

  Story: In a nutshell, Pico befriends a boy around his age and teaches him about sex. This episode lacks the conflict-and-resolution structure of the previous, making it a decidedly more Eastern narrative. What isn't really explained is how or why Pico is in this new setting. I have to just assume he's homeless, or some kind of wandering ghost or something. His romantic partner from the previous episode long gone, this one's focus is on two young boys, rather than one young and one not-so-young. Thus, it balances between a sense of childlike innocence and the childlike not-so-innocent. This is kind of what I suspect Gon and Killua do in their free time. ANYWAY, the progression of events feels at least slightly more believable in this episode than it did in the last, and it's much more laid back and slow-moving. I'm sure there are lots of people with childhood stories that share some similarities with this plot (though probably not all of them). Finally, while it's not a significant enough part of the episode to merit watching it just to see, there is some female nudity featured as well, which was entirely absent from the first.

  Art: The art hasn't changed from the previous episode. Still very pretty and bishonen. I will say that the production values in general are a cut above most hentai here.

  Sound: The same goes for sound. The music is surprisingly charming and the theme song cute (if very saccharine), the voices generally well-acted, and overall, no complaints to speak of.

  I would say that this episode was a better entry to the series than the first, simply because the plot wasn't as rushed and character relations/dialogue as unrealistic. It can be interesting to see Pico take the role of dominance that his partner took in the previous episode, as well, in that little bit of reversal. I could easily recommend this to any fans of shota/boy love, but anyone else? Steer clear, and let the fans be fans.

  Dead it, run from it, the realization you’re watching yaoi child porn arrives all the same.

  Boku no Pico was a watershed moment in anime meme history, it became one of the go-to *wink*wink anime recommendation choices when trolling your friends. Pico to Chico aims to capture the magic which made that show so popular by trying to chip away at our morality even more than before in this new installment of the Pico series. While there were certain techniques, I used to combat the fact that I was fapping to yaoi child porn landing me a list on the FBI’s watch list, it most certainly failed this time to keep my pride intact. While Pico to Chico gives you everything you expected out of a Boku no Pico sequel, in certain storytelling aspects it does not quite live up to the original and the same goes for certain character dynamics.

  Story : 7
  What makes the Pico so unique, in my opinion, is that there is a certain level of quality that the stories keep which keep the viewer engaged. Most name brand hentai rarely give you much of a reason why our main characters are having sex in the first place, filling massive amounts of the hentai with uninteresting banging which we’ve all seen a hundred times over prompting us to skip through the video, quickly finish our business and move along. The Pico series strives to properly storyboard and pace their plot, slowing and speeding up the plot to keep the viewer watching and not skipping ahead. The plot is a central part of what makes the series so good and yet the introduction is squandered in this second installation with barely any scenes dedicated to explaining how Pico ended up there, brushing it off as mere coincidence while in the original we were given time to breath as we saw Pico engaging with Tamotsu in a friendly relationship that explained them going deeper. Although the introduction falls flat, the rest of the series picks up with similar pacing where they edge the viewer along by providing whispers of what was promised while filling the spaces with Pico and Chico playing around showing us how their relationship builds and it all culminates in an ending which while satisfying does not reach the quality of Boku no Pico with it’s character arcs and nuanced conflict.
  Art : 7
  Keeping in the theme of adequacy, Pico to Chico maintains the artistic and animation quality we received from the original and for a 2000s hentai it holds up well today.

  Characters : 7
  By far the greatest aspect of this show reminds me of the original in it’s characters. For fans of the original, we are payed off in seeing how the previous relationship has affected Pico’s sexual nature from a timid young girl to a more confident and dominant force while first time viewers will still subtly pick up on the nature of Pico leading towards the first scenes that establish her outgoing nature and confirming it when she makes her move. Chico, on the other hand, reflects our lost childlike innocence we once had before being pulled into degeneracy by hentai and we see his descent into darkness throughout the show. What’s most engaging is the role reversal witnessed, how Pico takes Tamotsu’s place in the relationship guiding and teaching innocent Chico who acts the way Pico did when she first met Tamotsu. Chico evolves from timid to confident much like how Pico has and this cycle of sexual information being passed from Tamotsu to Pico and now Pico to Chico is seen coming full circle towards the end of the episode. One of my main issues with the show is Manko, Chico’s older sister, who plays a sideline bystander role in the series which feels like lost potential to me. Manko feels like an afterthought of a character, more like a prop than a living entity in the show, completely untouched from start to finish which brings about the more ‘hollow’ feeling Pico to Chico has compared to Boku no Pico.

  Moral Toll : 9
  I’ve seen the vore, the rape, the electrocution and the diaper humiliation. I haven’t seen it all but I’ve seen enough for hentai to have torn a good chunk out of my morality and yet Pico to Chico took more out of me than I’ve felt in a long while. My mantra which kept me whole during my viewing of Boku no Pico was ‘Pico is a girl, a chick with a dick’ because she did look like a girl and she was voiced by a female VA. ‘This is fine, it’s futa not yaoi’ I said to myself and this failed me when I watched Pico to Chico. Pico has taken such a dominant role in the series that it’s impossible to ignore that she is a he and the show mocks you by showing glimpses that Pico is a girl and Chico is a boy, but those glimpses are far and few between. At the end of the day, dread it, run from it, the realization you’re watching yaoi child porn arrives all the same.

  Pico to Chico did not nearly have as much engagement out of the that Boku no Pico had. There is no conflict which drove the plot meaning there was little plot in general, compared to Boku no Pico which was a story, I would describe Pico to Chico as a character study of two individuals while the creepy older sister peeped from the closet and watched. I definitely did not enjoy this as much as Boku no Pico and it took too much of a toll on me, much more than I expected. If you can get over that mental hurdle, be my guest and fap to Pico to Chico but for the rest of the virgin unhardened hentai viewers steer clear of this one.
