i thought anime would be a phase in my life but here i am still frothing at the mouth over anime girls. i just think they're cute like puppies !! i love old and CHEESEY anime, especially stuff from the 90s - early 2000s. i more or less like the tropes / style of anime over other media. the goofier the better. on this page i'll prob talk about the shows, games, manga, and maybe even idol groups i care about. possibly even show off my weeb stuff too >:3c
recently i made a mangadex account because i wanna get back into reading manga consistenly. the fun thing about mangadex is they have a "random" tab that reccommends you random titles and that's when i came across [AI-REN] and its concept immediately caught my attention.<\p>
Yukata Tanaka's [AI-REN] ran for five volumes from June 1999 to May 2002. Set in the future, it's about a boy named Ikuru Yoshimizu who is expected to die from his illness soon and he has no hope for the life he has left. Not knowing what else to do, he applies for an AGH-RMS, an artificial human meant to comfort termilly ill patients before death and deactivate once their job is complete. Ikuru and his AGH-RMS, Ai, are now trying to spend their last months happily but little do they know, so is the rest of humanity.
The premise and art is what really made me want to check this out! I'm a sucker for apocolypse love stories and the art is gushing with cute charm.
