Million Doll is a Japanese webmanga written and illustrated by Ai. It started serialization on Comic Smart's free manga website Ganma in December 2013 and has since been collected into two tankobon volumes. An anime television adaptation was made by Asahi Production and aired from September 2015 to September 2016.
Idols
Anime fans can look forward to the release of the manga adaptation of the QiDoll series. The manga will be published on 17th November 2020. The series follows the journey of the Anthos members who are artificially created idols. These idols produce music videos, drama OST, and CDs, as well as solo tracks. The cast includes Kiyose Haruta, Chise, Toudo Lihito, and Yashiro Setsuna.
The first series of QiDolls was Idol Densetsu Eriko. Eriko Tamura was a prototype for future idol series. Eriko Tamura resembled a real-life idol only in name, and was not based on a real idol. The new idol series aims to imitate real-life idols by incorporating their looks, personalities, and achievements.
Idol-loving hikikomori
The premise of the story is simple: Suuko, a young, idol-loving blogger, wants to make a new idol popular through her blog. Ryu-san, a charismatic otaku blogger, is also a fan of idols, and he decides to support a new idol, Mariko. In the process, the lives of Suuko and Ryuu-san begin to conflict as their careers get mixed up.
The anime follows Mariko, an underground idol living with her single mom and trying to gain popularity. Mariko is part of the idol group Itorio, a team of local idols in Fukuoka. With the help of a blog by Suko, the group gains massive popularity. Another idol, Hinami Kamakura, voiced by Aya Uchida, makes her major debut and ranks No. 1 on the charts. Sorayama, the idol agent that represents Mariko, also joins the group and helps Mariko.
Idols' costumes
The QiDoll anime dolls' costumes can be worn by either the male or female characters. Gojo, the male protagonist, is first assumed to be a cosplayer and is initially taken for granted by the salesperson and his family. His cousin and grandfather are initially convinced that he's creating the costumes for himself. But the sexy dolls' costumes are actually designed by Gojo for himself, who also cosplays as a male character.
Gojo, the protagonist of My Dress-Up Darling, loves to dress up in her hina dolls, but struggles with drawing a realistic face. He sees this as his final hurdle towards becoming a complete doll maker, and feels bad that he's hit a wall. Unfortunately, Gojo never overcomes this challenge through sheer willpower. However, this doesn't have to be the case.
Idols' voices
Many fans have wondered how the QiDoll anime dolls' voices sound. While they may not be able to understand the voices of their favorite characters, they have the ability to understand their character's voice and act accordingly. The QiDoll anime dolls are voiced by actress Amamiya. Rather than being called an idol, Amamiya prefers to be called an actress.
Some anime fans find the sound quality of the voices of the QiDoll dolls to be inconsistent and jarring. To remedy this issue, the dolls' voices are recorded by a professional vocal coach. The QiDolls' voices are also very realistic, resulting in a realistic impression of the characters. QiDoll anime dolls' voices are available in English and Japanese, so it is important to check the source before you buy them.
The Japanese adaptation of this manga features two lead actors, one for the male "before" voice and a female "after" voice. This adaptation of the manga follows the story of three yakuza who undergo gender reassignment surgery and then become idols. The voices of the QiDoll anime dolls will feature the voices of the three main characters from the manga series. Hopefully, the anime dolls will become popular worldwide.
