momi's Flappy! One More! is a work that is both technically impressive, but narratively underwhelming. In this way, it's kind of an oddity, as most manga are of a similar quality across all of the dimensions afforded by the medium, and rarely as impressive in one regard but wanting in others as this work. While this does mean you'll probably have a better time with Flappy! One More! more than I did if you can forgive a weaker narrative in a manga and instead focus the inspired illustrations, I'd much prefer it if momoi focused on their strong suits and collaborated with a dedicated writer for their next major project.
A collection of momoi's past one-shots, this work is very much an anthology series that jumps between different characters and themes. Technically an expanded release of a past version of this project, Flappy! One More! comes with several full-color illustrations and short stories. These opening color illustrations are far and away the best part of the work, and showcase momoi's draftsmanship-related skills, like character designs, anatomy, and color composition. While some of these opening pages do have a loose narrative within them, the (scantily clad and sexually engaged) characters on display are the main draw, with Robert Harkins' incredible lettering enhancing a scene through creatively formatted text that perfectly complements the colors present in a given illustration.
After the first thirty-some pages, though, Flappy! One More! begins to resemble a more typical hentai anthology and loses a lot of what makes it special in the process. Beyond these stories not feeling all that distinct from each other, it's clear that paneling isn't one of momi's strong points, with pages often feeling overstuffed and having a distractingly busy layout. Well, there is definitely a lot of fun to be had in this work; I strongly recommend taking your time with it, as it is very easy for these stories to blur together, especially with these character designs feeling far less distinct without the coloring utilized in the opening pages.
Also, while Flappy! One More! does present some novel situations for characters to hook up in and is largely sex positive and examined, the depicted sex acts feel pretty vanilla and pretty samey. This more limited scope in sexual material is present even in the first proper chapter where a character suggests engaging in age play or ABDL, but all this actually manifests in is the male character sucking on her nipple while resting his head on her lap. Flappy! One More! is not bad and its illustrative strengths are immediately apparent, but this is an aggressively safe work that feels designed to appeal to the widest possible audience. I didn't really vibe with it, but I hope that momi's next project is a bit more inspired.

A few of Fakku's books have been getting these “reissues” lately; not quite reprints, but expansions of older books with improved translations and lettering and extra chapters. I had never read the original Flappy! Sugar Babies!, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison; but on its own, Flappy! One More! is a solid read.
There isn't an ongoing narrative to Flappy, nor is there much of an ongoing theme; One More! collects a bunch of stories about girls getting their rocks off. A few of these stories have second chapters, and one of them even gets a full-color continuation. But there's little connective tissue to the whole thing. Most of these stories are light-hearted and on the sillier side of things, like a day-care teacher effectively psyching herself into pushing herself onto her allegedly ex-yakuza principal after fantasizing about him pushing her into an orgy, or the dog-loving girl who stumbles into a successful career as an AV star. Connected deserves some credit; even Momi notes in their afterward that it's an outlier given its heavier themes. The story, not to mention the mild fem-dom themes, is definitely a cut above the rest of the book. Special mention also ought to go to Her Transparency, a full-color chapter that also punches above its weight class in terms of story. (Momi mentions the desire to make a continuation of that story; please do!)
To my eye, a lot of these girls look fairly similar. Momi's author's notes at the end of the book mention their “Design Expansion Wars,” where they're experimenting with character design, but their artwork remains fairly consistent. Chest sizes might vary some, faces might have slight differences in terms of eye shape or hairstyle, but everyone has more-or-less the same bombshell body (I get the feeling Momi's all about asses). Momi does great work with costuming and with poses, but sooner or later everyone's boobs fall out of their outfits and bodies get very leaky with bodily fluids. Not that the artwork is in any way sandbagged; Momi deserves a lot of credit for their framing, anatomy, and perspective.
In terms of a book, One More! does little to stand out to me. The stories are individually okay, but seem a bit dissonant when compiled together. But as a product, One More! astounds. The artwork is superlative, and you can't beat the TLC the details like lettering have received. The color pages are a great treat; their addition alone makes One More! a must-have, even if you've already bought Flappy! Sugar Babies! Strongly recommended.

I really appreciate Momi's artistic style. Everything looks so shiny, wet, and glossy, like all the characters are having sex on the beach. They always managed to introduce a lot of liquids and shiny surfaces into their design aesthetic whether it's in the reflection of the girls eyes or giving almost all of their clothes this see-through property to them. While a lot of the girls do suffer a little bit from looking too similar to each other, the differences in location and outfits help each individual scene feel distinct from one another.
I thought this book was a character art book given the fact that the first third of the book features some gorgeous colored pages and then has some divided sections based on specific characters that Momi designed. However, this gets dropped in favor of a more traditional collection, with some stories being extended beyond just a single chapter. If there's one consistency through a lot of the sex stories in this book, it's that they almost all predominantly start from a woman's perspective as they get lost in fantasies or pulled into a situation that they themselves facilitated.
Sometimes this leads to some interesting female-dominated scenes, while other times it's more about them losing control over a situation. There's not always a strong follow-through on the setup for these scenes, but similar to the outfits and scenery differences, I appreciate that almost every story is distinct from one another. Some stories even got an emotional tug from me, like the one that involved a young man finding new love in his ex-girlfriend's sister. While I don't think there's anything incredibly unique about this collection, I do think the presentation is consistently solid. There aren't really any low points in these scenes that are distracting or off-putting, with the intensity of the scenes themselves being a step above being vanilla. If you're familiar with Momi's style or enjoy the opening chapter, then give the rest of the book a read.
