Shounen Dolls



The Etou family is a line of doll makers with two very special gifts: first, the ability to communicate with dolls; and second, through the help of two guardian dolls, the ability to "purify" dolls who go beserk from loneliness. These guardian dolls, western-style Leonardo Angel Silvereye and his Japanese counterpart, Yuki, come alive through the master's "proof of affection", a kiss; and they are passed down from family head to family head.

Sixteen-year-old Ageha inherited the dolls very early in life and accidentally lost Yuki a few years ago, in the confusion resulting from her parents' deaths; since then, Ageha and Leo have been searching for her. However, if life with bratty, arrogant and self-centered Leo was already lively, it becomes even more so once the elegant, refined, and always-helpful Yuki  is found; opposing personalities and the craving for attention that all dolls possess is sure to cause plenty of excitement.


 * Bishonen: Leo.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Leo, a male version of this trope, and Yuki  are like this with Ageha. They want her all to themselves and dislike the thought of having to share her affections with a boyfriend, to the point of   and.
 * Dropped a Bridget On Him: Or "her", in this case.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady:
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: Ageha would love to have friends and a boyfriend; unfortunately, carrying around a large doll - two, later - and talking to it tend to make one unpopular.
 * Living Toys: The dolls that Ageha has to purify. Leo and Yuki may qualify as well, though they actually turn human from Ageha's kiss.
 * The Power of Love: Dolls depend on humans' love for their existence; without it, some go crazy. The dolls Ageha and her guardians fight are those who have lost the love of humans. Even Leo and Yuki desperately want Ageha's love and don't want to share it with anyone else.
 * The master's kiss, his/her "proof of affection", is what wakes the guardian dolls.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy:
