Description: |
The story opens several years after a devastating war, where incredibly strong 'mechanical dolls' slaughtered many, many people. These robot weapons, which look exactly like humans, are still feared and hated. During a storm, Craw finds one of these 'dolls.' She is nothing like the weapon he would expect, but is instead gentle, cheerful, and very eager to be of use to the people around her. She claims her name is Mayple, and she seems to be programmed as a maid and cook.
Soon, Craw has set up a cafe for Mayple to run, where she can cook sweets and tea for everyone in town. It's going to be a rough road ahead of her, as many townspeople hate her on principle and will not shrink from violence against her. But maybe Mayple, who always keeps a sunny attitude, will be able to find a way through the prejudice and make a place for herself in the post-war world. |

Considering the plot so far? 3 options:
1. She get killed because despite the islanders' voices, the government want all mecha doll dead. Or she sacrifice herself to protect someone (Craw)
2. Her internal circuit breakdown from age, go watch Kowarekake no Orgel for an idea of how it goes.
3. The tragedy doesn't refer to just Mayple's alone, but might be in other's lives too. See http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/hibiki-no-mahou-r4328 for example.
