Blue Drop: Difference between revisions

''[['''Blue Drop]]''''' is a series of manga stories by Akihito Yoshitomi in which [[Vichy Earth|Earth has been conquered by the Arume]], an alien race which is very much [[Human Aliens|human in appearance]], but [[One-Gender Race|consists only of females]]. Consequently, they are by and large homosexual and are attracted to earth women, which leads to a lot of depictions of [[Girls Love|lesbian sexual behavior]]. An anime series was released in 2007 that takes place one thousand years before the manga and describes the events leading up to the Arume invasion. The anime's emphasis is more on character development, whereas the manga tends to be more explicit and often crosses the line towards [[Hentai]] (although it's generally more [[Fan Disservice|creepy than erotic]]).

The manga consists mainly of one-shot stories, presented in two series, describing the struggles of human society with the Arume in charge. The main recurring character in the first series is Yui, who is a human/alien hybrid and a member of the earth resistance. An important theme is the Arume's use of children to fight the semi-sentient remnants of their biological weaponry in the earth's seas. The second series , ''[['''Blue Drop]]''' - Tenshi no Bokura'' (Angel's Men), adds some [[Gender Bender|gender-bending]] to the mix and often contains very graphic (and very horrifying) sexual scenes and themes. ''Blue Drop's'' third [[Manga]] is a short, romantic story called ''Maiorita Tenshi'' which chronologically is set between the anime and ''Tenshi no Bokura''. Lastly there is the [[Manga]] ''Tenshi no Itazura'' (Angel's Prank), the shortest ''Blue Drop'' work being only three chapters in length.

The anime series is called ''[['''Blue Drop]]''' - Tenshitachi no Gikyoku'' (Angels' Play) and describes the antics of Hagino and Mari. Hagino is the commander of an Arume battleship; Mari is the sole survivor of a disaster caused by that ship five years earlier. The story focuses on the gradually intensifying relationship between the two girls, set against the threat of the Arume invasion and Hagino's rising doubts about its purpose.

* [[The Tease]]: Hagino toward Mari--eventuallyMari—eventually. And then of course there's the abundance of teases in the mangas.
