Blue Drop is a series of manga stories by Akihito Yoshitomi in which Earth has been conquered by the Arume, an alien race which is very much human in appearance, but consists only of females. Consequently, they are by and large homosexual and are attracted to earth women, which leads to a lot of depictions of lesbian sexual behavior. An anime series by Asahi Production and GONZOnote The latter only doing CGI was released in 2007 that takes place one thousand years before the manga and describes the events leading up to the Arume invasion. The anime's emphasis is more on character development, whereas the manga tends to be more explicit and often crosses the line towards Hentai (although it's generally more creepy than erotic).The manga consists mainly of one-shot stories, presented in two series, describing the struggles of human society with the Arume in charge. The main recurring character in the first series is Yui, who is a human/alien hybrid and a member of the earth resistance. An important theme is the Arume's use of children to fight the semi-sentient remnants of their biological weaponry in the earth's seas. The second series, Blue Drop - Tenshi no Bokura (Angel's Men), adds some gender-bending to the mix and often contains very graphic (and very horrifying) sexual scenes and themes. Blue Drop's third manga is a short, romantic story called Maiorita Tenshi which chronologically is set between the anime and Tenshi no Bokura. Lastly there is the manga Tenshi no Itazura (Angel's Prank), the shortest Blue Drop work being only three chapters in length.The anime series is called Blue Drop - Tenshitachi no Gikyoku (Angels' Play) and describes the antics of Hagino and Mari. Hagino is the commander of an Arume battleship; Mari is the sole survivor of a disaster caused by that ship five years earlier. The story focuses on the gradually intensifying relationship between the two girls, set against the threat of the Arume invasion and Hagino's rising doubts about its purpose.The subbed version of the anime currently has a free legal stream on the Anime Network, although restricted to certain countries. | |

| Blue Drop (Manga) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: In Tenshi no Bokura. The Arume (simply batshit insane) versus Yoshimura (batshit insane and concertedly sadistic). Weirdly, they seem to be at peace by the end despite wanting to wipe out each other's sex. | |

Gender Bender | |
| Blue Drop (Manga) / int_2d88e42c | comment |
Gender Bender: The manga Tenshi no Bokura is about Kenzo, a boy turned female by an Arume experiment. It turns this "Kenzo" was a mental copy of the original implanted into the body of an Arume. When the girl's memories return, they pretend Kenzo suffered Death of Personality, but the reality seems like more of a Split-Personality Merge. | |

Hot for Student: When the Arume run schools, many of them seduce their female students. In Tenshi no Bokura, they had a school that was, essentially, their seraglio, the girls having pretty much been raised to think that such was the norm. | |

Mars Needs Women: Tenshi no Bokura reveals that they actually need men in order for their species to not die out in the near future. They even invaded for the sole purpose of getting our men. Then they got cold feet at the last minute and took our women instead, as they are much hotter albeit useless for stabilizing the Arume population dynamics. | |

Jumping the Gender Barrier: Tenshi no Bokura is about the gender-bent Kenzo and his male best friend Shouta, who are forced under threat of death to have sex, but end up falling in love anyway. Bizarrely, Kenzo's mind was put into an Arume's body to overcome the original mind's lack of attraction to men—which is pointed out as patently stupid, because why would a straight human guy's mind be more likely than an Arume's to want to have sex with a guy? | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Arume aren't completely out there, but their sense of morality definitely doesn't jive with humanity's. Specifically, using Child Soldiers (Volunteer, or so they claim) for suicide bombing because it's "beautiful" and being grossed out by males. | |
