The story

Kuro, an evil megalomaniac obsessed with perfection, kidnaps young women to transform them into docile gynoids (women-like robots).

Maiko is his last creation, the most human, maybe too human. Yet, it’s not enough for Kuro: none of his gynoids makes him forget Hoshi, a young woman he fell in love with but who dared ignore him.

Gnawed by pain, Kuro kidnaps Hoshi from her daughter and peaceful life. That’s the beginning of a tense adventure in which good and evil fight.
