Dolls (ドールズ Dōruzu?) is a manga series by the mangaka group naked ape (Saki Otoh and Nakamura Tomomi). Five volumes have been published in Japan, but it has not been published in English yet.
[edit] Plot
In the 3rd Toutoh Empire, the excessive immigration led to an increase of violent crimes, and the government approved a law to expedite trials and alleviate the pressure on the overcrowded prisons: the Rationalization of Trials (RoT). With this law it is possible to hold trials without the suspect present, and the sentence is often the death penalty.
To enforce the law was then created a new special police unit, in charge of investigating and carrying out the execution: the Tokkei (特刑?), abbreviation for Tokubetsu Shikeishikkou Keimukan Butai (特別死刑執行刑務官部隊? Official Unit for Punishment and Special Executions). The Tokkei, composed of 47 groups (units) of 3 people, soon became known for its brutality as a group of heartless assassins, almost only hollow shells without feelings, and commonly called the Dolls. Against them rose a terrorist group, the Doll Hunters, which opposes them but is as violent and brutal as them, if not worse.
[edit] Characters
- Shouta Mikoshiba (御子柴笑太?) is the captain of the First Unit of the Tokkei, with a success rate of 100%. He's not only skilled, but also wise and cunning. His weapon is a Colt M1911.
- Seiju Shikibu (式部清寿?) is the vice-captain of the First Unit. He's a cheerful boy, but emotionless during the fights. His weapon is a cutting wire.
- Usaki Toudou (藤堂羽沙希?) is the new member of the First Unit, freshly graduated from the Academy at the top of his class. He's promptly renamed Usagi from his companions. He's very surprised of the attitude of his colleagues, because he is the one who looks emotionless more than any other. His weapon is a katana.
