Gong: Bijou (22 years, 10 months) – A defective android who came to love all humans due to an imprinting function error. He was made to love and be loved, but for some strange reason, loving one particular human is exceptionally difficult.

Soo: Baron Lin (44 years old) – A human detective whose specialty is deceit. He easily gains the favor of others, but they are merely tools for him to use. He intentionally approached Bijou but discovers a certain ‘specialness’ about the guy.

Read this when: You want a story where a pseudo-cult-leader android with no ill intentions tries to save a psycho Soo however he pleases, only for both their lives to get tangled up.

Relatable Quote:

“A friend, a lover, a family for the lonely you. Because I am S2-2, who will always love you.”

“Haha, you’re a real tin can.”

“There is a big difference between the components of my main parts and an aluminum can.”

“I’m calling you stupid.”

“And you are lonely.”

“Hello, I am a friend, a lover, and a family for the lonely you. I am S2-2, who will always love you.”

Detective ‘Baron Lin’ (Soo), for whom love without sincerity is all too easy, is chasing a suspicious case when he runs into the defective android S2-2, who calls himself ‘Bijou’ (Gong). A stupid, pretty machine manufactured solely to love humans, a machine that cannot help but be loved.

“Hey, pretty boy. Do you even know who I am?”

“You are the person I love!”

“You’re moving a bit fast. Why?”

“Because I am a friend, a lover, and a family for the lonely you. I am S2-2, who will always love you.”

“Uh-huh.”

The stupid machine seemed like a useful tool to exploit. However, as the incidents involving Bijou—who Baron thought was just a pretty doll—come to light, Baron Lin’s life is completely turned upside down…

“I can also feel sadness, loneliness, and pain. A machine can erase its pain at any time with the help of another, but humans cannot. That is why I feel so sorry for humans.”

A defective android who loves all humans, who wants to save all humans from their pain. A tin-can angel who mobilizes religion and drugs with a limitlessly altruistic heart.

“You, you are truly… terribly sexy.”

When could he ever meet a crazy machine like this again!

New-New York, a world rife with fake drugs, fake meat, and fake humans. Fake love is also dirt cheap, so organic humans should watch out for themselves.
