Saber Marionette J

Published in 2002–2003 by Egmont Ehapa, this five-issue comic series adapts the anime Saber Marionette J into a self-contained print adventure. The story follows a young man in the terraformed colony planet Terra II, where he discovers a trio of advanced humanoid androids—the marionettes—each programmed with a distinct personality. Best known for its blend of sci-fi action, comedy, and harem dynamics, the series offers a condensed, accessible entry point to the franchise for readers outside Japan.
