This single volume mostly just tells stories in the universe where this humanoid robot and teenage boy live. The earliest stories involve them. But some of the others are used to expand the universe and introduce other characters.

Apparently this served as a kind of prequel to a current ongoing manga of the same name.

It's an intriguing world setting, but the stories are largely about folks looking for work in a post-apocalyptic world. Been there and, for me, there's not enough of a hook to get me interested in checking out the sequel series.

New Read - Mechanical Buddy Universe (Single Volume)

Mechanical Buddy Universe is a manga volume that is really a series of vignettes.

This entire volume sets up a world setting in a post-war world where androids exist and fought in numerous combat roles. The story follows a feminine presenting android who raised a human infant they found abandoned. However, most of the stories are set AFTER the baby is an adult, not really showing the "robot raising a human" story I was expecting.

I was expecting something like Somali and the Forest Spirit. What I got was...not that.
