【Shoujo Null】 Dystopia × Robot! A tale of the world VS a boy set in the 23rd century future......! Currently serialized in Shonen Jump+!

Near-future dystopian manga Shoujo Null is set in 23rd century Tokyo. Robots that closely resemble humans, known as “Gijin,” are commonly used among people. These Gijin are made from organic materials and are almost indistinguishable from humans, but they do not possess consciousness. In this context, a high school sophomore named Riaha, whose father was killed by the special public security police, encounters a mysterious military-use Gijin girl named Mary. Mary, who escaped due to an accident, is taken in by Riaha. This was the beginning of everything.

Seven years ago, Riaha's father died trying to expose a secret hidden within the Gijin. The secret is that Gijin inherently possess consciousness similar to humans, but the government manipulates this consciousness to treat them like slaves. Riaha, who harbors doubts about her father's death, and Mary, who regained consciousness after a certain incident, find a common goal to create a world where Gijin can live normally.

“Shoujo Null” features a storyline that leans heavily towards splatter, with dramatic developments sprinkled throughout. As the relationship between the protagonist Riaha and the Gijin Mary deepens, their growth and transformation offer a fresh impression to readers. One highlight is the 180-degree change in Mary's personality. This manga evolves from interactions between the boy and the mecha to the boy questioning what is right.

“Shoujo Null” is captivating due to the depth and individuality of its characters, drawing in readers. Set in future Tokyo, this work, which portrays the relationship between Gijin and humans, fascinates many fans with its challenging themes and unique worldview.
