Manga: Tonari no Robot by Nishi Uko
Apr. 1st, 2020 06:49 pmI was going through the starred items in my RSS reader and clearing out all the ones I'd added accidentally over the years, and found a rec from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
alias_sqbr in 2016 for this short yuri manga about a robot and the girl next door.
Since it was only 8 chapters I decided I may as well read it on the spot.
It's very cute, sort of a collection of slice-of-life scenes that show their developing relationship from both of their points of view. It's also a surprisingly realistic depiction (relatively speaking) of what it might be like to be in love with a robot.
Warning for some uncomfortably voyeuristic scientific content. It also has a reference to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which was a surprising drop back to reality to me.
