Gachagacha: The Next Revolution starts out with an interesting concept, but after that it goes almost nowhere.
The characters start out completely devoid of personality, save for the Akira whose personality only serves to convince the reader that he is utterly worthless, and in most respects he pretty much is.
The main female love interest, Yurika, falls into the deathly trap that is why-does-he-even-like-her. Yurika starts out as "The Pretty Girl" and not much else, whose sole purpose in life is to be loved by the main character. About half way through the manga (when people start acquiring personalities) hers remains one of the most plain.
The story in Gachagacha: The Next Revolution is, at best, mediocre, and moves about as slow as molasses. The love plots move about as much as they do in Ranma 1/2, which is to say not at all.
Gachagacha: The Next Revolution may not be THE BEST, but it is entertaining enough. If you go into this expecting a light hearted romance, that's what you come out with. If you're expecting a Gender Bender, it's certainly got that. But if you're expecting a Masterpiece, you will be disappointed.
I give Gachagacha: The Next Revolution a 3 out of 5.
