a must read

first off, watch the anime first, because if you don't, you'll end up not enjoying the anime because it's not as good as the manga. but the anime is good in it's own right and should be seen. with that said, i loved this! only 5 volumes makes this easy to collect, compared to a lot of manga series out there. the basic story is the same except for little and better differences. awesome art work, well written, and a lot more perverted! still, an enjoyable and fun read

Fast paced...

This first book covers a lot. Not only do all three Marionettes show up, but so do all three Saber Dolls. Like in the anime Otaru Mamiya lives on a colony world which has no females. Marionettes are robots designed to look like women, but they don't really act like women. Until Otaru finds Marionettes with Maiden Circuits - the circuitry that allows them to have emitions. The action and artwork is kind of confusing and with the amount of nudity and extra-plus size busts this is not for kids. It is sometimes hard to tell when a Saber Marionette/Saber Doll is topless or just wearing a very clean, tight-fitting white top. In fact it is rated for Age 16 and older. Comes with a extra short-story at the end. Lots of Benny Hill humor and bleeding noses but not as touching as the anime. Not yet.
