Witch of Steel - Annerose
Witch of Steel - Annerose ( 鋼鉄の魔女アンネローゼ ) is a four-episode OAV hentai anime released in 2012, based on an H-Game of the same name.
The female protagonist is named Annerose, which is a very feared and respected witch, while the male protagonist is Rikuro, her undead servant, a formerly human boy who was transformed into an undead by Annerose after she saved him of being sold as slave on an illegal market in the city of Amidahara, a place where humans and demons live and interact together. Annerose also has under her wing the maid Fleuretty Mitico, who despises Rikuro for drawing Annerose's attention away from him.
One day a girl named Miki arrives under instructions of magician Aishwarya Ray to Amidahara to ask Annerose for help to find her lost brother. Annerose accepts the job, but before she can take in any leads a group of assassins lead by Lee Mayfeng, Annerose's arch enemy, demands the girl to be delivered by them. Not feeling slightly threatened by Mayfeng, Annerose engages in combat with her and her minions.
