About this title
Synopsis
On a world with no women, the surviving men have reintroduced the female in the form of an android. Called Marionettes, they are built to serve men and are limited in their interactions with humans. That is until a poor boy named Otaru Mamiya encounters a Marionette named Lime. Lime is a Saber model with a special circuit that gives her emotions. When Otaru awakens two more Saber Marionettes, his life as an 'average' man quickly becomes as extraordinary as the lives of his eager, busty new friends. (Source: Tokyopop)

Main characters
Lime149 fan favoritesExternal profileLime is a marionette possessing the otome kairo, a circuit that enables her to act almost indistinguishable from a human girl. She is the most child-like of the main marionettes, with a naive, lively, sunny, peppy and playful personality . ("Yoo-hoo" becomes something of Lime's catchphrase), and thus frequently asks all manner of questions about life to Otaru. The quickest of the three; she has amazing speeds that can even out rival the Hanagata Mitsurugi 3000GT seen in Ep 1. She has long blue hair that is pulled back with a long yellow scarf with a red ornament bubble. Her clothing consists of a white, yellow trimmed, "jacket" over a black bodysuit. When Walking, Lime's feet make a squeaking sound not unlike a cross between gears squeaking and the squeak of a toy hammer. (Source: Wikipedia)
Cherry34 fan favoritesExternal profileAnother of Japoness' otome kairo marionettes. She is the most maternal of the three & acts like the perfect stereotype of the Japanese wife, excelling at cooking and doing everything to please "Master" Otaru, who is the subject of her frequent romantic daydreams in which she goes into over-romantic frenzies and loses sight of her current objectives. She is however quite intelligent and equipped with the best sensors of the three. She is often mocked by Bloodberry for being too sweet & mild and is often ridiculed for being flat-chested. Instead, her fantasies and amorous interactions with Otaru tend to focus on her behind. She has two long tails of purple hair and usually dresses in a pink kimono. (Source: Wikipedia)
Bloodberry24 fan favoritesExternal profileBloodberry is the third of Japoness' otome kairo marionettes. She represents the aggressive side of femininity, being quite loud, boisterous, headstrong, impulsive and very amorous. She is by far the bustiest, and is openly proud of this fact, often teasing Cherry in particular. She is also the most sexual of the three, often vowing to "make a man" out of Otaru, smothering him with her large breasts and endless amounts of physical affection and pressuring him to marry her. For his part Otaru is much more receptive to Bloodberry's overt advances than the average harem protagonist, often going as far as to compliment her massive bust, to her delight. She is very brave and fierce in battle and has the most raw physical power. She dresses in a black and orange bodysuit and her red hair in a high ponytail. (Source: Wikipedia)
Tiger8 fan favoritesExternal profileThe first of Faust's Saber Dolls. She is roughly the equivalent of Lime mainly in speed and agility but not nearly as naive. Of the 3, she shows a fiercer devotion and love for Faust and would die for him. (Source: Wikipedia)
Otaru Mamiya6 fan favoritesExternal profileThe main character. A citizen of Japoness, a country of Terra II which resembles feudal Japan & guardian of the Japoness Sabers: Lime, Cherry, & Bloodberry. He eventually discovers the three marionettes and forms a sort of family with them. Initially, Otaru seems to be very asexual and becomes constantly overwhelmed by the marionettes and their affection, which he returns only platonically, and equally to the three. His weapon is a sai in which the blade can extend to become a sword and the tail of it can be used to reel his friends to safety. Has a distinctive two-color hair-style of light brown on the front and dark brown in the back. (Source: Wikipedia)
Gelhardt von Faust0 fan favoritesExternal profileLeader of Gartland, Generalissimo of the country's military forces, and the 10th clone incarnation of the original Faust is the main antagonist of the series. He is the master of the Saber Dolls: Tiger, Luchs, & Panther. He is bent on conquering all of Terra II and rules his country with an iron fist. It is also notable that Faust's regime resembles Adolf Hitler's and Gartland resembles Nazi Germany. Faust created the Saber Dolls also in an attempt to save Lorelei. He's often called the "Führer", by his soldiers. He has a huge personality cult around him as with most dictators. (Source: Wikipedia)
