Japanese visual novel studio Key today (28th October) reveals a new multimedia project titled “Prima Doll” (プリマドール) after developing multiple hit game projects such as “Kanon,” “Clannad,” and “Summer Pockets”.
The project’s character designer includes Na-Ga, Fuji Choko, and mangaka Hara Yui. More popular artists will be revealed later. “Summer Pockets” director Kai and “Hatsukoi 1/1” director Tohya Okano are writing the story.
With the assistance of figure maker Kotobukiya, the project is created based on the innocent and moving wishes of the girls. The thoughts and growth of the characters will be expressed through various media under the theme of “songs and dolls”.
▍Prima Doll Story
Kuronekotei (黒猫亭) is a coffee shop that sits at the corner of the 5th district of the imperial capital. The girls who work there are autonomous mechanical dolls (automata) that were made by the most advanced technology.
The girls were created as weapons for the Great War years ago. But after the war, peace came to the city. Restored as new dolls, dressed in shiny kimonos, they look for the meaning of their birth.
Would you like to spend a wonderful time with them?
