the best tokusatsu love story ever told?

That'll always be Samurai Flamenco in my heart, but this can have second place.

I like it, but a couple things bothered me:

  1. The prologue made it seem as though Rabbit and Honey had a long history of being hero and villain to each other, but then in the actual story it seemed as though that was their first encounter. It seemed like, in their time knowing each other, Honey went from villain to crime fighting partner in the blink of an eye. I feel like that kind of cheapens the dynamic.

  2. Rabbit learns about Honey being fired and her alternate identity immediately. I thought it would've been fun to see Honey try to seduce Rabbit while Rabbit either thinks that she's still her enemy, or Rabbit doesn't realize that the person flirting with her is actually honey in disguise.

It just makes me wonder why they started as hero and villain when they could have been Hero partners from the beginning and had almost the exact same dynamic. I guess you could say it was just for the gag of her turning her back on her organization for someone she fell in love with at first sight, but she didn't really. Her boss fired her and sent an assassin after her. So it wasn't really by choice even.

Anyways, that's just me completely over-analyzing a story that I've only read a single chapter of. I still liked it, and the story still has a lot more opportunity to expand on the plot points later down the road, so it's not really much of an issue.

On a more positive note, the costume design is super good. Detailed and has lots of character. I especially like Honey's normal villain clothes.

Yeah, this definitely feels like the author is planning to make it very short, maybe just one volume long at the most, or it wouldn't be rushing this fast to set it up.
On the other hand, I honestly prefer a fast pace to a story that drags on, and the hero is still unaware that she's in the kind of manga where everyone's a lesbian.
Also, it might not be intentional, but it's pretty much a tokusatsu tradition that the first episode crams in as much as possible, and then slows down a bit for the rest of the series.

The suit design is very cool, too.

Well this is the story it is. There are plenty others with that same plot you said (not Yuri though) so... Its ok if some stories have different settings, otherwise it would be reading the exact same thing again and again.

Great start, looking forward the next chapter.

is it just me or the hero costume looks a lot like nirvash (Eureka Seven)?

Villian-turned-hero is always a fun trope to see.

This looks super cute! I really like the protagonist, plucky hero types are real good imho. Also the way the overlord's plot backfired so massively was funny. I'm curious to see where it'll go

Everyone's summed it up. Fun and refreshing, but boy does it need to slow down.

I don't really fault this first chapter for being fast. The author is just getting us up to speed for the story they want to tell - that being "incorruptible pure hero and extremely gay former villain fight crime". Now that we've got the exposition out of the way, we can slow down and appreciate the good stuff.

Superhero yuri. Now that is an itch I haven't had scratched in a long time, since Gamma, pretty much. ^^

SO GLAD SOMEONE SAID IT. Superhero Yuri is my kryptonite. (Pun intended)

When I read the synopsis I was kind of hoping it'd be something more like D.E.B.S where the hero and villain are dating one the side while still rivals/enemies in their "professional" lives, but they just ended up on the same side within the first chapter. Hopefully Honey's villainous inclinations haven't totally disappeared, cause that would give them an interesting dynamic. Anyway this still seems like a lot of fun and it's pretty unique, so I'm eager for more. There's only so much high school drama you can read before the stories kind of start to run together >_>
