Side notes: The art on this manga is on a really good level though it lacks a bit of emotion and has sometimes too much empty space that could have been filled up. The same goes for the story. As I said it the art has some emptiness involving its style and way the pictures are constructed - the same is true also for the plot. There is action but the logic and the reason are missing... and it makes the structure feel like there is only bones but no meat. Still there is some fun moments inside the story and old kind of jokes that feel just comfy... so it's not sharp twisted tongue play nor malicious.^-^ But it's not for kids... as there is some nudity in the play too... sigh... so that's why I added the R+ tag.
P.S. No picus this time as it's a pain to find any information for the characters and a good image of anyone. Multiple main characters but it seems that Face is one of them and she is an AI (I think). With her there is Grey (a Blond man) working with Hashizou (on the cover), Mitia (a Blond medio ?), Hikaru (a young girl with street-know-how) and Sharon (Dark skinned woman that has some technical skills on computers).
