Synopsis:
|
Roger
Smith is hired to find an old bar. What he doesn't know is that the
old bar has an enormous safe with a vast amount of memories in it.
What the client doesn't know is that those memories are all old
letters between his father and and old lover. Roger keeps having
flashbacks to a woman who he claims he'll never forget, but he's
never seen her before. The chapter ends with Dorothy telling Roger
that since she's an android, she'll never forget him.
2 mad
scientists find a machine for extracting forgotten memories and end
up kidnapping Roger. His memories overwhelm the machine and then he
and Big O destroy the machine.
The
final chapter deals with the return of Schwarzvald and his megadeus,
Big Duo. Looking like Big O, but red and with the ability to fly,
Schwarzvald claims that the power of the Bigs is for destruction only
and sets out to destroy Paradigm City. Roger and Big O stop him but
their battle has brought them to the attention of Alex Rosewater, the
CEO of Paradigm Co and the de facto ruler of Paradigm City.
My
Thoughts:
|
No scantily clad or uncovered women this time. Hence the high water
mark of 3 stars.
Other than that, mediocre. Nothing is revealed, nothing interesting
happens, the characters barely appear. Flat and lifeless is what this
seems to be going for. Almost like it was a project that the manga-ka
didn't care about but had to do anyway.
Whatever. It doesn't matter. I am going to finish this series since I
own it, but my goodness, it is like eating stale crackers while
sipping on tepid tap water.
★★★☆☆
