About Aoi & Mutsuki: A Pair of Queens

Meet Aoi & Mutsuki: A Pair of Queens (宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 2人の女王様), an adventure and sci-fi anime (1999). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Aoi was raised as a normal boy on Earth. Little did he know he was the heir apparent to Mito, the Queen-turned-Space-Pirate of an alien race that chooses their sex at puberty!

More of the story: Aoi fell in love with Mutsuki, the police officer who was chasing Mito, and the three of them saved the Universe. The only side effect was that Aoi blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Now a malevolent entity calling herself the true Queen of the Universe appears with enough power to destroy entire planets.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Mito Mitsukuni, voiced by Tomoko Kawakami, leads the cast you will follow most closely. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
