I am already in love with this manga, such an interesting plot and story, and yuri on top of that

Ai, robotics, nice art, cool characters with nice personalities and an interesting premise, this seems like it's going to be a pretty nice read.

And I'm suspecting that she's using an interface to transfer her movements to the robot, as even with current technology people can move virtual limbs by just imagining their limbs moving (though from my knowledge those work by sensing micro movements of the user, but it nonetheless it should still work to some degree). Also, currently in virtual reality a locomotion problem exists, where if users want to move in the game world they have to move in reality, and even if we had a brain to computer interface there would still be a problem of preventing the body from moving. However, our wheelchair girl isn't limited by that (for her legs at least). Assuming that she is paralyzed due to damage to the spinal cord and not brain trauma, then it would be possible to translate her signals corresponding to movements of her legs to the robots legs instead (also note that on page 8 it states that the robot uses artificial muscles instead of motors so it's highly likely that's she's controlling it that way based off the info we've been given).

With current technology it can not necessarily be micro movements, CTRL-kit for example is using electromyography to read neuron signals. In this case though it's not control, this is a world with some amazingly impossible technology so Yui is not controlling the robot, but indeed copied herself into the robot, so there's now two of them.

In theory though EMG at least does not require actual movement, so it should be possible to control an avatar even if you fully restrain yourself, though I'd imagine that would require a metric ton of mental training. Yui is paralyzed simply because her legs were hurt badly, and her legs can even move a little bit, so that sort of stuff would indeed be possible for her. Except with this particular robot it would have still necessitated some magic technology because balancing this crazy construction with software is nearly impossible even in that overly advanced world.

Interesting. The potential theme of copying the mind of a disabled person into a perfect body is enormous. How will develop relationship between old and new bodies? How will other people react on them? Will they compare them? May be old Yui will envy new one, who can do everything better than she? Considering yuri tag, whether to expect form of selfcest? Will android develop her own personality or will remain just "ideal fake", which can be better than original, but cant change ever, so forever remain not living human, but only romantized hero from the past, reminder of the old self?

[Tradless]

The premise already starts out interesting and strong as it is having melancholic art and yuri potential. The setting reminds me of all those sci-fi dystopian mangas. Looking forward for more chapters.

 

[DarkFlame]

looks like an interesting read

 

[YellowBikes]

This is pretty interesting. I like the sci-fi elements in this, which is unlike many other yuri stories. Hope we get to see more

 

[Anonyneko]

If nobody picks this up or licenses (ha-ha...) it, I do intend to try and manage to find some more time for it. If another translator does want to pick it up, please do, it's very good.

 

[ozanty]

@Anonyneko I can't do translation into EN

 

[Turtle50UP]

@Anonyneko

Hey, where can I find the digital raws to this? I have two physical volumes, but probably not the best to scan them for translation XD

 

[Anonyneko]

@Turtle50UP I recommend getting them from Kobo and de-DRM-ing with Calibre & Obok, that's the best available and rippable quality I've seen.

 

[edneddy2]

Still offering to typeset and redraw if someone wants to do the translation

 

[KitsuKyouno]

Wow, is confusing

 

[AgentKuga]

people theorizing about the technicalities about the robot when all I'm thinking about is that she has larger boobs on the robot to make up for her slightly cutting board chest
edit: ah I was right

 

[lokiloki]

ah yes the sex doll

 

[Alice_is_lost]

Threesome is winsome

The first robot Reina created would be an abomination to us, human. This does remind me that, we humans thinks of robots it's mostly is imagined as humanoid and very few people, use original idea of their own.
Like here in this manga also, all they wanted was the appeal to be humanoid.
