Prima Doll (〈プリマドール〉, Purima Dōru) (sometimes abbreviated as "Prima") is a Japanese multimedia project created by Key and Visual Arts in October 2020, which also includes toy figurines by Kotobukiya, a short story serialization and a web novel. A 12-episode anime television series by Bibury Animation Studios aired from July to September 2022.

A four-volume kinetic novel series written by Tōya Okano is in development by Key. The franchise is also expected to get two different manga adaptations. The first is Prima Doll New Order (プリマドール New Order, Purima Dōru New Order), which will run under Kadokawa's Dengeki G's Comic manga label on the ComicWalker ComicK and NicoNico Seiga websites.

Yuriko Asami, who previously drew the Angel Beats!: Heaven's Door and Angel Beats! -The Last Operation for Visual Arts/Key's Angel Beats! project, will draw the manga. The second manga, Prima Doll: Welcome to Kuronekotei (プリマドール～ようこそ黒猫亭へ～, Prima Doll: Yōkoso Kuronekotei e), will run on the Comic Bushiroad web manga site. Daiko Toda will draw the manga.

Plot[]

Café “Kuronekotei” boasts an unusual roster of employees. A group of automata, or autonomous mechanical dolls, serve their patrons with a smile, but they weren’t always so suited to domestic life. Just a few years prior, automata served as weapons in the great war, fulfilling the bloody purpose for which they were created. Now that the war has ended, these machines with human hearts search for their place in an unfamiliar, peaceful world — and their search begins at the Kuronekotei café.
