Midnight Panther is the name of a shōnen hentai manga and anime OVA created by Yu Asagiri.
[edit] Plot
Taking place in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, this is the story about three beautiful young females who are the extremely popular girl band called The Pussy Cats who are managed by an old hag. In actuality, the girls are also secretly the notorious female assassins known as The Midnight Panther, who will kill men for money by first sleeping with them and executing them in their own unique manner. The old hag is in reality a witch that also arranges the transactions. However, when the girls receive a commission to kill the despotic king who is killing his subjects, one of them takes the job personally and requests the honor.
[edit] Characters
- Sonya: A dark haired buxom woman who has the ability to grow and retract her extra resistant hair which she uses to garotte her victims-but not before she seduces them.
- Kei: An active blonde girl who can shapeshift into a leopard, which she uses to devour her victims-after she plays with them.
- Lukish: Also known as "Lou", she is the youngest of the three. Lukish was separated at a young age from her family, a king and queen, when they were killed by her brother Bad, and then taken in by the hag who saved her life when she was injured as a result of her escape. Consequences of the treatments she was given were that her once-pale skin was turned a dark tan in color. She also gained great strength, immunity to poisons and is herself poisonous, mostly because one of the ingredients was from the liver of a Basilisk dragon. Anyone touching her skin for an extended period runs the risk of dying a slow, horrible death. As Lukish is the youngest of the Midnight Panthers, she is not allowed to participate in assassination missions and instead has to hunt dragons as ingredients for the old hag.
- Old Hag: A strange, ugly old woman who remains unnamed throughout the feature. She runs the activities of both the Pussy Cats and the Midnight Panther. She also has a wide understanding of alchemy, especially with toxins, and used that knowledge to save Lukish when she was injured long ago. In the manga, it is revealed that she is the founder of Midnight Panther.
- Dark: Kei's panther companion. He is very protective of her (manga only).
- King Bad: A tyrannical king who is killing his subject out of a whim... and the half-brother of Lukish. Because he was born out of wedlock, Bad was excluded as heir to the throne, the duty given to Lukish (who was disguised as a boy, since only males could inherit the throne). Bad then killed his parents and nearly killed Lukish before she escaped.
