Fight! Iczer One (戦え!!イクサー1 Tatakae!! Ikusā Wan?), is a 1983 sci-fi horror and yuri manga published in Lemon People magazine. It was created by Arai Ren. In 1985 the story was adapted into a 3 part Original Video Animation directed by Toshihiro Hirano. The story is of an alien invasion of earth, which is opposed by Iczer-One and her schoolgirl companion Nagisa. Together they can pilot the Iczer-Robo, a giant humanoid robot. The story features strong body horror.
Iczer-1 also featured two "sound novel" dramas released. The first sound novel was released on an LP record, and was based on the first volume of the Iczer-1 manga, entitled Golden Warrior Iczer-One. The second drama CD is a crossover with the anime Dangaioh.
Earth is attacked by an alien race, known as the Cthulhu (クトゥルフ kutourufu?). According to their initial strategy, the Cthulhu use parasitic creatures, called vedims (ヴェデム vedemu?), to infest and replace humans across the world. Their hope is to eradicate humanity and take the world without damaging it in an open war. However, Iczer-1 appears and begins rooting out and destroying the vedims. Upon learning this, the Cthulhu plan to initiate a full military invasion of Earth.
