Plastic Memories

Eighteen-year-old Tsukasa Mizugaki misses his college entrance exams, but manages to secure a position at the Sion Artificial Intelligence Corporation. There, humanlike androids called Giftias are created—nearly indistinguishable from people, yet limited to a fixed lifespan of 81,920 hours, roughly nine years and four months. Assigned to Terminal Service One, Tsukasa joins the team tasked with retrieving Giftias at the end of their service life, before memory loss sets in and their behavior turns dangerous.

On his first days, Tsukasa is paired with Isla, a calm, petite Giftia known as one of Terminal Service’s most capable veterans. As they work together, Tsukasa finds himself drawn to her, all while the countdown on Isla’s remaining time makes every shared moment feel increasingly precious.
