Saber Marionette (セイバーマリオネット, Seibā Marionetto) is a Japanese series created by Satoru Akahori featuring android girls.

In January 1995, a twelve-episode audio drama series called SM Girls Saber Marionette R aired on the radio show Nowanchatte Say You.

[1] From April, 1995 to December 1995, an incomplete seven-chapter manga titled SM Girls Gaiden Saber Marionette Z was published in Gakken's magazine AnimeV, in its Vcomi section.

Beginning with a short story published in the October 1994 issue of Gekkan Dragon Magazine, twelve volumes of serialized light novels were produced.

A manga titled Saber Marionette 2: Shiritsu Oedo Gakuen Koubouki started serializing in Fujimi Shobo's Gekkan Dragon Magazine in October 2000, but it was soon canceled.

A manga titled Saber Marionette i − Neo Gene illustrated by Megane Ōtomo started its serialization in July 2008 in Fujimi Shobo's Gekkan Dragon Age and was finally compiled in one tankōbon.

In the early episodes Otaru, Lime, Bloodberry and Cherry are shown leading comparatively ordinary lifestyles, cherishing the peaceful days that dawn on Japoness.

As the story progresses, due to uncanny circumstances, Faust appears once again, much more zealous, brutal and merciless than before, restarting his world-conquering agenda.

Later on, as Japoness stirs, more, and even much more sinister and ulterior motives are revealed, and the joint efforts, and investigations lead to the conclusion that Yan of Xian and Dr. Hesse, the former scientist and servant of Faust both have a hand in the matter.

Yan and particularly Hesse are shown in-depth only at the end, showing their personal goals and past traumas in the last arc which resolves the man-machine conflict, with themes of technology and human responsibility.
