Reiji Kaitou wrote the Japanese light novel series Unbreakable Machine-Doll (Japanese: 機巧少女は傷つかない, Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai) and Ruroo drew the pictures. From 2009 to 2017, Media Factory's MF Bunko J imprint published the series in 17 volumes. Its story has been turned into a manga by Hakaru Takagi and a 12-episode anime TV show by Lerche that aired in 2013. Kinji Yoshimoto directed the anime, Yuuko Kakihara wrote the script, and Atsuko Watanabe designed the characters.
The show is an action, fantasy, and harem series set in a different version of the early 1900s UK. "Machinart," which is a mix of magic and machinery, has made it possible for people to make "Dolls," which are sentient automatons. These Dolls come to life thanks to circuits that are filled with spells, which give them personalities and powers. Puppeteers, or people who are good at controlling these Dolls, fight and compete to show off their skills.
The story is about Raishin Akabane, a Japanese puppeteer who goes to the famous Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart in Liverpool. Raishin wants to be the "Wiseman," the most powerful puppeteer in the world. He is joined by his robot partner, Yaya. But what really drives him is revenge against a mysterious genius who wiped out his clan. Raishin's journey includes the Academy's "Night Party," a brutal competition where puppeteers fight for the title of best puppeteer. During his trials, Raishin faces problems that test his skills, determination, and understanding of the complicated relationships between people and the things they make.
Unbreakable Machine-Doll explores deep themes like identity, what it means to be human, and the moral issues that come with making sentient beings. The relationship between Raishin and Yaya shows how complicated master-servant relationships can be and how people can feel close to the things they make. Yaya, even though she is an automaton, has feelings and wants, which makes us question what it means to be truly alive.
Raishin's desire for revenge helps him grow as a person. At first, he is motivated by anger and a desire for revenge, but over time he learns how important compassion, responsibility, and life are. His relationships with other characters, especially his Dolls, show how important it is to understand and care about other people. The series also criticizes the objectification and exploitation of sentient beings, making readers think about the moral issues involved in making life and the responsibilities that come with it. It makes people rethink the lines between creator and creation and pushes them to think more deeply about freedom, consent, and the moral duties that come with these kinds of relationships.
Unbreakable Machine-Doll isn't just a story about magic and fighting; it's also a deep look at the nature of life, the difficulties of relationships, and the moral problems that come with making things. The series makes readers think deeply about who they are, what it means to be human, and the moral implications of technology moving forward. It reminds us that real strength is not just having power, but also having understanding, compassion, and the courage to face and learn from our own weaknesses.
