Plastic Memories...
I picked up Plastic Memories...
Plastic Memories is beautifully rendered and, at times, quite touching. There is some humor in the series, but, Plastic Memories seems to be more of a drama with some comedic elements. There are no naughty bits to speak of and no bloodshed or gore. Although, I've only seen about one third of the series, I'm very pleased with what I've seen. Even at this early stage, I would feel very comfortable giving Plastic Memories a 3 out of 5.
Volume 1
From the writer of Steins;Gate, Naotaka Hayashi, comes an original love story!!
In this moment... I think I've already fallen in love with you, without even knowing your name.
In a world where there were slight scientific advancements...
Tsukasa Mizugaki is offered a position at the renowned SAI Corporation thanks to his father's connections.
SAI Corporation is known for its production and management of androids capable of feeling human emotions called Giftia.
Tsukasa's position is in the terminal service department where their main job is to recover Giftias who are near their expiration - it is a dead end department in every sense.
To make matters worse, Tsukasa is assigned to work with a female Giftia named Isla, who was never given any responsibility other than serving tea to her co-workers.
Volume 2
The heartwarming finale to writer Naotaka Hayashi's (Steins;Gate) original love story!
I hope one day you'll be reunited.
As Tsukasa continues his work at SAI, he starts to wonder whether or not the Giftias can regain their memories after their OS replacement. However, he always gets the same answer of NO no matter who he asks. Until one day he encounters a Giftia from Terminal Service Three named Andie, who turns out to be Eru's best friend Olivia after her OS replacement. As Tsukasa learns more about Giftias and grows closer to Isla, he must also comes to terms with her lifespan getting close to the end...
