Assault Lily

Assault Lily is an action doll series developed and released by doll manufacturer Azone International Co., ltd. and its media mix franchise.

Overview

A collaborative project between Azone International and acus, based on a collection of stories originally written by Ken'ei Obanazawa, with the theme of arms and girls.

Originally, it was an original project for a model work by an amateur model dealer, Ken'ei Obanazawa, who started it in 2005. The idea was picked up by Azone International and was merchandised as a series of 1/12 action dolls. The first two dolls, Riri and Yuyu, were released in 2013.

A novel was published in 2015.

The first stage play was performed from 2016, and the play has since become a series and is performed on an ongoing basis.

From 2019, Bushiroad joined the media mix project and the franchise was developed as the 'Assault Lily Project'. The stage performance of Bushiroad's version was launched in January 2020 and a sequel to the stage series was performed in September 2020. A stage play in this franchise was also performed in January 2022.

An anime adaptation was made as part of this franchise under the title "Assault Lily BOUQUET", and the TV animation was broadcast from October 2020.

The anime version has also been developed into a series, and a video app game "Assault Lily: Last Bullet" has been released as a work that shares the same universe.

The overall content of the project is marked by the importance placed on the bonds and ties between the girls in the setting and storyline. This is thought to be influenced by various earlier works, as the original author, Mr. Obanazawa, is an avowed fan of 'yuri'.

Each media, such as the novel version, the stage version (and the comic version on which the stage version scenario was based) and the anime/app game version, has its own unique storyline, with small and large differences in the world setting, character setting and relationships between various characters.

Plot

In the near future on Earth, humanity is on the verge of extinction due to extraterrestrial beings known as Huge.

Humankind has been fighting the Huge using weapons called CHARM, decisive battle arms that combines magical and scientific power. High adaptability to these arms is found predominantly in young teenage girls. Women who wielded CHARM would be called 'Lily' and regarded as heroes.

To counter the Huge, Lily training institutions, 'Gardens'", were established in various parts of the world and served as bases to protect and instruct people.

In such the Gardens, this is a story of battles and friendships among the girls who fight fleetingly but beautifully to be full-fledged Lily.
