Description: |
A prequel manga to the TV anime "Plastic Memories", written from Michiru's perspective. Naturally, also featuring her partner, Zack!
A future world in which Giftia, androids capable of feeling emotion, exist. However, Giftia have a predetermined service life of about nine years, and must be 'retrieved' when that time is up. Michiru has just joined Terminal Service, the department at SAI Corp. in charge of executing these retrievals, which can be said to mean ripping apart the relationship between Giftia and owner. |

Thank you, so much, for another chapter.
Keep up the great work, guys! I can't wait to see Michiru's and Zack's perspectives on the events to come.
Oooh, a parallel story this time to the anime.
Also, did I see Michiru having some inappropriate thoughts of this chapter's giftia/owner pair alone in a room (near the end)?
Also, Zack read her like a book (as always).
You should, it's pretty great and required to understand the cases mentioned in the manga.
Yeah, I should watch the anime.
Welp, Michiru's quite the busy-body there...too bad it took more than her explaining "The act of being embarrassed" to get Isla to act more like a girl...
This story winds around the story of the anime far better than I thought it would. I really hope this gets translated to the end, especially since the anime and this manga are all we're likely to ever get of this world.
Fantastic read so far. Definitely hoping to see more as this compliments the anime pretty dang well.
Ooh, a second perspective to what we saw in the anime~ This might turn out interesting. Thank you for the scanlations ^^
So that's the origins of Zack's GameBoy-like device was from... rather aching sweet during that scene.
If only the anime had taken this kind of approach instead of trying to do too many things at once and hazily advertising itself that it might be something else before it began.
Ah well. Thanks again!
No, sorry, you're still an idiot.
Also, thanks scanalators for bringing another chapter. It's nice to see the daily lives/backstory behind those two, since they didn't get much screentime in the show.
Don't you people have anything better to do than poorly attempting to be funny in the comments of series you don't even read?
I got it - "Tragedgy"
This isn't edgy unless you think that everything that isn't happy funtime all the time is edgy.
But in a more eco-friendly way; we recycle them not just

"Plastic memories" reminds me "Harukana Machi e" a bit.
Plastic Memories is quite enjoyable series so I'm happy to see the spin-off translated. Zack's double face is amusing as always.
Don't forget "contrived".
So it doesn't apply to this, based on either of your "definitions".
"melodramatic", "hamfisted", "pointlessly angst-ridden", or in some cases "pretentious" would all be generally acceptable equivalents when referencing a setting that feels like the author is trying way too hard for pathos.
It basically means "trying way too hard to be cool". And here we have something that's "trying way too hard to be tragic". Quite similar, I'd say.
You have no idea what "edgy" means, do you.
