Man, I wish they'd come up with an original complaint. So cliche, 0/10.

Why the heck are the robots in manga named like cities in Czech Republic? ._. ... Praha, Liberec

I love yuri, and I love anything about theoretical AI. Several new mangas I've seen recently have been hitting my sweet spots.

Might be a tribute of sorts to R.U.R., the Czech story that originally coined the word robot.

True. I'm actually from Czech rebublic and i've read the play, but i would never guess that they would actually put the names and everything like this. Thanks for the idea, i didn't think of that :)

This is a lot less angsty than I thought it would be, which is nice. I was worried that the scientists would be upset at Chika for messing with their experiment/Hiro/Praha, but they seem to be curious about their interactions instead of angry. I still feel for Chika, though - it's like a learning experience for both of them, on how to love.

It's been a while since the first chapter, it's nice seeing this again, and poor Chika-chan

this story make me questioning more about artificial feeling.. does Hiro-chan feeling (memory) towards Chika-chan can easily erased like I erase data from my phone memory..?

-and there's come the angst story-

When I found out that you can't actually use galaxies as shuriken, I just couldn't enjoy Gurenn Lagann anymore so I definitely know how you feel.

Hahahahaha

I find the scientists' attitude much more realistic (to the context), the robot was sent out live a life amongs others, they are observing the situation and analyzing it without disrupting it... Like real scientists would do.

This is kind a sad. I just wish there will be a happy end for them, though it's somehow quite impossible.

Well, basically yes. But the same is true for our biological brains. It's just that the delete function has other triggers, e.g. Alzheimer's disease or injuries.

I'm really looking forward to see where this goes. I don't think the way Hiro works and perceives the world is much different to how humans work, it's just that her programming is less complete and she has more adapting to do. She doesn't look like a philosophical zombie to me.

I don't know why, but the fact that the male scientists go into overprotective father mode when love is mentioned is just hilarious to me. It looks like Chika isn't the only one getting emotional over Hiro.

I am loving this depiction of learning A.I.s and scientists. Why can't hollywood do it like this, even without the yuri?

Also, I have a sinking feeling this will end in tragedy, which makes me a sad panda. Hiro-chan and Chika-chan deserve happiness, darn it!

There are more manga like this one‽ If you don't mind, what are they called?
