Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Looks like thinly disguised misogyny...
Review: ...and it also sounds alot like "Chobits", where perfect, artificially created women replaced the real ones in the distant future and that they only exist as sexual amusement for men. And it also goes up the same vein where a pubescent young boy gallantly rescues a sweet young girl in spite of his raging teen hormones.

The only difference is that the sweet young girl tends to be occasionally insane instead of innocent and quiet-mannered like the blank-eyed "Chi" from CLAMP's series. What's more, the girl, "Lime" also bands up with other scantily clad bimbos, including "Cherry" with breasts the size of watermelons (think she should be named "Watermelon" instead!) to fight some enemy or something.

Guess those books kind of mirror such funky attitudes toward women in Japan even in the modern times!

Summary: Who needs good plot and characters when you have boobs?
Review: Yuck. I got this because I enjoyed the anime series of the same name. I must say that the anime is the superior version.
This story takes place on a planet were there are only men. Women have gone exstinct and have been replaced by female-looking androids. One day, a boy stumbles across one of these androids (called a Marionette) in a hidden room in a museum. When activated, this marionette, Lime, has a program that allows her to act like a human girl. The boy also finds some other Marionettes that act human. And there is an evil guy who also has three of these special marionettes who are evil like him.
That's a really simpified version of the plot, but I'm not going into any greater detail. The main focus of this story is (...). All the marionettes have these gigantic (...) that would cause a normal woman who bend over because there wieght. In you're going to shove my face in the marionette's cleavage, at least make the (...) pleasing to look at not like saggy, floppy waterballoons like some plastic surgery gone awry.
Drawing style is clean and precise but nothing to get excited about.
Not recommended.
