[Ken Sogen] Better than Sex [Uncle Bane] [Ongoing]

Takamichi drops eight million on a bunny-eared android whose towering, curvaceous body and hollow-eyed eagerness to please—offering to clean him with her mouth, sorting his recycling, asking if that's enough to buy love—makes him question whether synthetic devotion might be better than the real thing. But their domestic arrangement unfolds against a darker backdrop: a Sexroid massacres twenty-six people in a Roppongi nightclub, the first android-on-human killing in recorded history, sparking heated public debate over whether these pleasure machines belong in society at all. As Chihiro, a girl from Takamichi's life, spots him slinking through the red-light district and begins connecting the dots, the line between purchased intimacy and something genuinely human starts to blur in dangerous ways.
