Heavy Object ( Japanese ヘ ヴ ィ ー オ ブ ジ ェ ク ト , Hevī Obujekuto ) is a light novel series by Kazuma Kamachi with illustrations by Ryō Nagi . The series received three adaptations as manga and an anime television series that has been running since October 2015 .

action

In the near future, a certain island nation developed a new weapon concept called Object - a vehicle with armor 10 m thick and consisting of hundreds of layers, often with the appearance of a bullet more than 50 m in diameter, the surface of which is littered with hundreds of projectile and beam weapons which despite their massive weight of several hundred thousand tons can move at an average of 500 km / h. This weapon concept received its baptism of fire when it withstood a direct tactical nuclear strike, half melted, but still dominating the battlefield and effectively single-handedly winning the war.

This event, which showed that all other branches of arms are far inferior and are now superfluous, changed the entire nature of warfare, which was reduced to the fact that the claimed area is voluntarily given to the attacker if either no defending object is present or this from the attacking object in one Duel was defeated, since further resistance of any other kind would be pointless. The United Nations and former nation states broke up and no longer exist in this sense. Instead, the individual regions join one of four coalitions, depending on the prevailing ideology, which are incessantly waging war against each other - the tradition-conscious "Legitimate Kingdom" ( 正統 王国 , Seitō Ōkoku ) in which only the ancestry counts, the knowledge-thirsty "Information Alliance" ( 情報 同盟 , Jōhō Dōmei ) in which what information is allowed to be accessed and data protection does not apply, the profit-oriented "capital companies" ( 資本 企業 , Shihon Kigyō ) in which the degree of personal rights depends on one's own wealth and consumer criticism is considered terrorism, as well as religious "Belief organization" ( 信心 組織 , Shinjin Soshiki ) as an amalgam of various religious directions and re-awakened mythologies - which makes the political world map look like a four-color, splintered stained glass window.

Protagonists are two members of the 37 mobile repair battalion of Objects Baby Magnum of Legitimate Kingdom: the civilian and engineering Qwenthur bubbling ( クウェンサー=バーボタージュ , Kuwensā Bābotāju ) as head and radar technician and nobles Havia Winchell ( ヘイヴィア=ウィンチェル , Heivia Wincheru ) as the muscles of the duo. Both are supported by the pilot of the object Milinda Brantini ( ミリンダ=ブランティーニ , Mirinda Burantīni ) , called because of their status as elite and their 14 years as "Princess" and its strict and attractive battalion commanding officer Frolaytia Capistrano ( フローレイティア＝ カ ピ ス ト ラ ー ノ , Furōreitia Kapisutorāno ) . Note

One day they are attacked and defeated by an object that is better adapted to the arctic conditions, with Milinda being captured. Qwenthur takes the plan to free them and destroy the enemy object, where he and Havia infiltrate the enemy base in which the object is being maintained, determine its weak point based on the local blueprints and manage to trigger its self-destruction. Since they have demonstrated that non-objects can also defeat an object, they become heroes. However, to her disappointment, she does not expect the honorable discharge from military service, but from now on the military assigns her together with Milinda and Frolaytia to new front missions to eliminate further objects. However, you will not find opponents in the enemy objects, but also in their own ranks who want to prevent their actions from overturning the type of warfare again.

Note The family names of all characters in the work are taken from cocktails.
