@The_H_Guy They are machine but they can think, act and sympathize, the same as humans. Are you going to treat them as objects or slaves? If something has feeling, I will treat it with the same standard with other humans no matter if it is an animal or a machine. To be honest, why do you even bother to read this manga when it is obvious, the theme is about friendship between humans and machines? Sorry, but your way of thinking just seems so edgy.
Even in our reality, my laptop, my TVs, my car, etc. are my precious companions. I am not going to mistreat them.
