Introduction

Natsu is an actress I wasn't particularly excited to watch. I noticed her pretty early on (particularly since she debuted in January) and immediately she reminded me of Rin Natsuki from last year, at least from the covers I was seeing. I wasn't a fan of Rin so I was a bit turned away from Natsu. As I came closer and closer to the final few actresses I wound up having some space for Natsu. I went in with an open mind about Natsu though hoping for the best.

Physical

Facially I wasn't that big on Natsu. I thought she had a relatively plain face and wasn't particularly attractive. I will say that she didn't look as much like Rin as I had initially thought (which was a good thing I suppose).

Natsu's tits weren't particularly nice. They're listed as 88 E which maybe seemed a little big to me when comparing directly to Hikaru Miyanishi's boobs (someone I recently reviewed) that are exactly the same size. Natsu's were never put on display, often tucked behind a bra to some degree, but I was never bothered by it because I wasn't really enjoying her boobs that much.

Natsu's ass was far nicer and easily the most enjoyable part of her physically. I don't think the camera angles really did it full justice in the video though and it seemed like there was a lot more hidden potential with it had she been bent over slightly better or gotten a straight POV look at it.

Performing

Natsu's moaning was quite solid throughout, never being too overdone and instead being a pretty good blend. I tend to quite enjoy moaning that's a lot more reserved and sensual, which I found Natsu's to be.

Natsu's enthusiasm was often a bit lacking. It generally felt like she wanted to be somewhere else or to just get it over with. I think perhaps the NTR aspect of the video aided a bit in that regard but I still would have liked to see more enthusiasm. Even when she was smiling at him and trying to be enticing it just fell very flat.

Natsu was at least solid at using her hips. Certainly not the best I've seen but you have to appreciate the little things in performances.

Video Review

Natsu works as a barista and has an illicit relationship with one of her coworkers. The two aren't particularly shy about it either, using their workplace as the perfect place to get down and busy, even in the middle of the day.

I felt like the narrative took a bit of a backseat as they focused more on the individual scenes. The guy she was messing around with was married but they relied more on him having a wedding ring on to take care of that and it felt like it added basically nothing to the video. Still, they had a solid amount of variety at work, doing it in the seating area, in the back room, and having a blowjob behind the counter. It really came through with the general atmosphere, having most of the content in the coffee shop with their uniforms largely still on. I do think the video lacked a certain something, especially when taking their relationship to a love hotel, but it was otherwise fairly solid stuff.

Career

Natsu's career has been going well, getting all 12 monthly releases she was expected to. It's hard to argue against someone being exactly what you expected them to be. If you needed something to complain about it might be that she's had only the 12 monthly releases. Many of her studio costars had other things by this point, whether it was VR or an image video. Sure, someone like Kaname Momojiri never got either, even to this day, though Kaname had a video with Yume Nikaido within a year of her debut. Or if you compare her to a top debut like Yume, Yume had done both within her first year. This might point to the rest of the industry not seeing much from Natsu but hey, getting all 12 releases with the new AV law is a feat in itself.

Verdict

Rating - C

I am open to watching them again if the right content comes around.

I wouldn't say I'm overly excited for Natsu however I will concede she was better than I expected. Her ass was a pleasant surprise and her performing, while muted, was somewhat satisfying with how well she controlled her moaning. If I'm watching a second video it would definitely need to be one with her being upbeat because I would need to see some brighter expressions. If she could manage those then who knows, I might actually start enjoying her a bit. I don't really have a lot of faith around that though, and instead I suspect that I'll watch a second video, not see enough to overcome some of the negatives, and just not watch her anymore. Natsu has a whole year of releases ahead of her so there's a fairly good chance the right thing comes along. That being said, I don't watch very much content from Faleno so there's a likelihood that in a year there would be very slim pickings.

This year I am doing 31 debut reviews, one each day in December. Make sure to come back tomorrow to see the next one! If you want to see which actresses I've reviewed so far, check out my advent calendar post.
