ㅤ
Suzu is a young boy… or at least, he will be. Right now, he’s an android in a research facility, being imprinted with the memories of another boy that lost his life, so that he can serve as a replacement to the boy’s parents. Hotori is the daughter of the head doctor in charge of Suzu’s program. She has the opposite problem: while Suzu’s head is being filled with memories that aren’t his own, Hotori is slowly losing her own memories.
ㅤ
When the two strike up a friendship, Hotori asks Suzu for his help. Together, the two navigate the struggles of their situation.

– Ollie Barder, Forbes

“Hotori’s thematic concerns feel increasingly urgent as artificial intelligence technology advances. [Its] greatest strength lies in its emotional authenticity.”
