Ever wondered what it would be like if your favorite video game characters grew up? THat is what Kawata has presented here in a slightly cozy slice of life about life as a growing young adult robot? I am not sure what this is but I like it. The humanization panels of different robot characters brought me life. Recommended for fans of Capcom or folks who have zero idea and like weird slice of life.

The artwork is beautiful but the plot is a little weak. I hope that subsequent volumes are more explanitory as to what is going on. Beautiful artwork
