Summary
Boy meets girl... you know how it goes. But while the boy
(Arato) might be a typical 17-year-old, the girl (Lacia) is a
beautiful android equipped with an enormous black device that
defies human understanding. Set 100 years from now, BEATLESS depicts a familiar yet
futuristic vision of Japan in which society is run by
incredibly human-looking robots, known as hIE. Most people
regard them as mere convenient tools. Yet some hIE–like
Lacia–now appear bearing technology that far surpasses
anything regular humans can produce. Humans and ultra-advanced artificial beings: who is the
master and who is the servant? Who made Lacia, and what ties
her fate together with Arato? Bewildered by the turmoil of
danger and mystery that Lacia brings into his life, Arato
will find himself forced to make choices with profound
implications not just for himself, but for all of
humanity.
