Armored Warrior Iris

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Armored Warrior Iris (装甲騎女イリス Soukou Kijo Iris) is a hentai visual novel by Black Lilith, released July 2014 by Mangagamer.

The story follows Iris and Mei Li, a human and Elven pair of galactic special forces agents who often do paramilitary and espionage work on behalf of the interstellar government. While on assignment to handle a combat mission on a world with a bitter internecine war going on, Iris winds up captured and sold as a slave to an alien pimp named Bozuk, who proceeds inform her he plans on turning her into a willing prostitute for the rest of her life.

Iris immediately plans to escape this situation, but sticks around because of Bozuk's apparent right hand woman, who reminds her quite a bit about her partner, and even though Bozuk is nice enough to let her pick her "customers", Iris wonders if she's going to lose her mind along with her dignity and virginity as she attempts to figure out the truth and plot her escape.....

Tropes used in Armored Warrior Iris include:
  • Black Eyes of Evil: While Iris thinks Riruru (Bozuk's right hand woman who looks exactly like Mei Li) is Mei Li, her eyes are this trope, which one of the reasons she can't be sure.
  • Body Horror: Not only are some of Iris' potential customers positively nightmarish in appearance and reproductive habits, Bozuk even has a surgical device that can invoke this on his prostitutes to satisfy his customers more depraved tastes.
  • Crapsack World: The world Iris gets captured on is basically this.
  • Dirty Cop: Iris finds out to her horror some of her potential customers include her own squadmates, who decided to take advantage of Dark City's shadiness to engage in prostitution services legally, and they think they are having sex with an Iris lookalike who is really convining, not the real thing.
  • Futanari: Riruru explains that Elven physiology allows them to become hermaphroditic if need be if they find a suitable mate. In the best ending, Iris can become one as well of her own free will.
  • More Than Mind Control: Bozuk intends to make Iris utterly willing to stick around of her own free will by basically brainwashing her into enjoying sexual pleasure, but is doing so by attempting to have her be so overwhelmed by repeated sexual encounters it happens on its own and he doesn't have to torture her into it, since he already implied he tried that on someone else before and it didn't work. Riruru is actually Mei Li, but due to her Elven physiology resisting Bozuk's attempts to break her mind, she instead buried her memories of her original self and became Riruru, a change which included a shift in eye tone, as a sanity defense mechanism, something Bozuk deliberately lied about since he figured out why Iris was sticking around and thus kept her guessing as to who Riruru actually was.
  • Multiple Endings: Three themed endings (all bad), one normal ending, and one best ending. Rather unusually for a Black Lilith game, the best ending does end on a rather high note.
  • Wretched Hive: Dark City, which is even more crapsack than the rest of the planet, and is a place where all sorts of depravity is completely legal, much to Iris' horror.
