Synopsis:
Akira Takaoka, an outlier within his academic circle due to his lack of personal computing technology, finds an unexpected opportunity when a bargain PC9821 is advertised. His pursuit of the machine leads him to a peculiar encounter with a cryptic individual offering the same deal, but for a vastly different model: the PC2198. This isn't a conventional computer; it’s a bio-engineered entity requiring a specific biological input to operate.
Suddenly thrust into an unusual role, Akira must protect Mimi, the PC2198, from the aggressive ambitions of the Apple Nacintosh sisters who seek dominance in the Japanese personal computer landscape. The narrative explores themes of technological dependence, unconventional relationships, and the blurred lines between science and sentience within a late 20th-century setting. The series presents a character-driven story navigating these challenges with a blend of quirky humor and unexpected stakes.
