スタジオぬえ
is a series of science fiction novels by Haruka Takachiho and released by Asahi Sonorama from 1977 to 2005 (an additional trilogy was published between 2013 and 2016). During the late 1970s one of the founding fathers of Studio Nue, Takachiho decided that besides being a designer he would try his hand at penning novels. The result was "Crusher Joe", a group of anti-heroes who were not the typical self-sacrificing types but noble in their own right nonetheless.
