Blue Drop
Encyclopedia
is a Japan
ese science fiction
yuri manga
created by Akihito Yoshitomi
. It comprises five chapters that were serialized in the shōnen
manga magazine Dengeki Comic Gao!
from June 2004 to December 2005, and later collected into a single volume
. In 2007 Yoshitomi began to work on a new Blue Drop manga, entitled , which was serialized in the manga magazine Champion Red between February 19, 2007 and January 19, 2008. A Blue Drop anime
series directed by Masahiko Ohkura and produced by Asahi Production and BeSTACK aired in Japan between October 2, 2007 and December 25, 2007 under the title .
All the Blue Drop stories revolve around a war between human
ity and the , an alien race consisting solely of women. Both manga series are set after the war while the anime is set before. The two manga series feature some degree of sexual content; the second manga being considerably more explicit than the original one.
and a modified version of an alien toy called . Along the years, the remnants of this weaponry have become dangerous creatures which the government (run by the aliens) has to deal with. This is the main premise of the original Blue Drop manga, which is set around a thousand years after the war. The military uses an experimental vaccine that gives human children special abilities for a determined period of time. During this time the military forces them to confront the weapon remnants, an action that usually ends up in the children's death. Most of the chapters follow the conflict between the military and the resistance, which tries to save those who have been given the vaccine, as well as the relationships between the people involved. In addition, the story introduces the aliens' traits and behaviour. All of them have blue eyes and their blood turns milky white when it touches air, but their main characteristic lies in their gender
: they are all female, and their sexual orientation
is homosexual
.
The aliens' sexual behaviour
is dealt with even more prominently (and explicitly) in the Blue Drop: Tenshi no Bokura manga, which shows its consequences upon the human social structure. This manga also deals with the first experiments done on human beings
by the aliens; specifically experiments concerning sex change
. Set one year after the war, it focuses in the relationship between Shōta, a normal high-school student, and Kenzō, Shōta's former-male best friend who has been turned into a girl by the aliens.
At the academy Mari meets Hagino Senkōji, the school idol and class rep. Although Hagino is introduced as a calm and collected person, when she touches Mari's hand she panics and attempts to strangle Mari. From then on, Mari is torn between anger and attraction towards Hagino, who pretends as if nothing had happened.
Unbeknown to Mari, Hagino is actually the commander of an alien battleship called Blue, which is the vanguard of the invasion to Earth. The incident on the island where Mari lived occurred when the crew of the ship and the island's inhabitants killed each other. Blue was seriously damaged and hidden, and Hagino blended into human society and continued her reconnaissance.
The story focuses on the relationship between Mari and Hagino; as Mari begins to come out of her shell, Hagino, who has been living a double life, gradually begins to have doubts about her mission. While the invasion and war draw closer unnoticed, they begin to understand each other.
Although most of the chapters in the original Blue Drop manga are auto-conclusive, the first recurrent character and main protagonist is Yui, an alien/human hybrid introduced as a member of the resistance. Because of her alien heritage, Yui possesses their characteristic blue eyes, the white-colored blood, and their sexual orientation. Other recurrent characters include , an alien initially introduced as a school nurse but later shown to be working for the military, and , a high-school girl that Yui rescues from Misato.
Blue Drop: Tenshi no Bokuras main protagonist is , a regular high-school student. At the beginning of the story, Shōta is met by a girl who asks him to have sex with her. Not much time passes until Shōta finds out this girl is actually , his former-male best friend, who has been transgendered by the aliens and commanded to get pregnant.
The main characters in the Blue Drop: Tenshitachi no Gikyoku anime are , voiced

(Japanese) and Monica Rial
(English). After the incident in the island, Mari is taken in by her grandmother, who has her educated by tutors at home. Eventually, knowing that she herself may not have long to live, her grandmother enrolles Mari in Kaihō Academy. Enrolled against her will, she misses her home, and can not hide her distress and anger. Hagino, on the other hand, is calm and collected, an excellent student, and an all-round athlete. Despite being very popular among her classmates, however, she never shows emotion, surrounding herself with an aura of mystery.
