Daily Manga

Eve no Jikan is another great Seinen manga based off of a hit novel. I had started watching the animation a while back but never finished, so I was ecstatic when I saw this being scanned. Good art & a nice feel. And interesting & entertaining story that almost makes one wish for such robots. I always love it when you can make sci-fi a slice of life story as well. Worth a read & watch (the animation has great art.)

「イヴの時間」
Eve no Jikan

Mangaka: 太田 優姫 (Oota Yuuki)
Author: 吉浦 康裕 (Yoshiura Yasuhiro)
Genre: Sci-fi, Seinen, Slice of Life
Summary: "The future, probably Japan. Robots have long been put into practical use, and androids have just come into use.

Influenced by the Robot Ethics Committee, it's become common sense for people to treat androids like household appliances. Their appearance - indistinguishable from humans except for the ring over each android's head - has led some people to empathize unnecessarily with androids. Known as "android-holics", such people have become a social problem.

Rikuo, a high school student, has been taught from childhood that androids are not to be viewed as humans, and has always used them as convenient tools. One day Rikuo discovers some strange data in the behavior records of his family's household android, Sammy.

Rikuo and his friend Masaki trace Sammy's movements, only to discover a mysterious café that features a house rule that "humans and robots are to be treated the same"..." - Baka-Updates
