Mechanical Buddy Universe 1.0
メカニカル バディ ユニバース 1.0
Mechanical Buddy Universe 1.0 continues Takuji Kato's short sci-fi comics about humans and machines who look after each other, which first found a big audience on social media. Most of the stories come back to Blau and Rainy. She is an android built for combat and he is the human boy she adopted. The two take mercenary work, and Rainy is itching to prove he can make it on his own. Other duos include a girl sniper teamed with an AI. Another is an old soldier who still fights in her mech suit. A human maid serves an android noblewoman. The Great War is long over, but nobody here is safe. Expect snipers and mecha and monsters with a lot of heart between the fights. It suits readers who like found-family stories in a future scarred by war.
