It is a well earned cliche that teenagers are compelled to rebel against society''s norms. But the nine young members of The Lychee Light Club have ambitions far beyond the normal teenage angst. They plan to change the world by building a god-like machine that will realise their wildest fantasies. The android Lychee was initially developed for one purpose: to seize women from their secret empire. Through its interactions with the many members within this most curious of clubs, the machine eventually becomes self-aware and capable of measuring truth and justice.

Usamaru Furuya was born in Tokyo, Japan on January 25th, 1968. A graduate of the Tama Arts University, with a focus on oil painting, Furuya is currently considered one of the most talented artists in the industry today. A former student in the Osamu Tezuka Manga Correspondance Program, Furuya's drawings as a teen were often published in the pages of the seminal boys comics magazine Shounen King.
Upon entering high school, Furuya began to embrace his darkside experimenting with subculture and the undergroud art scene. An early participant in the Tokyo version of the Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, he started off with them creating puppets and set designs for their elaborate performances. After graduating from university, Usamaru turned his attention to the world of comics. His early projects combined the surreal with extremely modern political commentary winning him critical acclaim worldwide for his juxtapositions of Tokyo youth and their suit wearing salaryman counterparts. Since his debut in 1994, Furuya has gone to draw 16 titles for Japan's leading comics publishers Shogakukan and Shueisha (publishers of Shonen Jump).
