Sakurasou's adorably oblivious savant Mashiro is probably one of my favorite characters in anime in the past couple years. I really like her. Apparently, so do a lot of others! While perky Misaki and Worst Girl (yeah, I went there) Nanami have been more or less ignored comparatively, Mashiro is getting more and more love from the PVC world. This time, CM's Corporation adds her to their "La Beaute" line, and it's an apt title!
While I liked previous Mashiros just fine, I'd say this one is certainly a contender for the best of the lot. She seems more detailed overall compared to versions in the past, and I am really loving her reclining pose and, to no shock of anyone reading this, her undone top! What I really love though is the focus on her love of art. With a handful of pencils and a very cool base that's designed like a stack of unfinished manga paper, this Mashiro is probably the most true to her character yet.
Best of all, you won't even be waiting long for her. She'll be ready to pick up in November, so get your ¥7,980 ready to welcome her home!
