KEY THE METAL IDOL
Her classmates at school named her Key, as in the "key" to a strange mystery. Key's "grandfather" was a kindly old scientist wanting to use his skill in robotics to create peace and love in the world. But when the kindly old scientist passed away, poor Key was left behind, lacking even the ability to smile. There is hope, however -- a message left behind for Key suggests a fantastic possibilty. Could it really be possible for Key to become a real, live human, if she can only win the love of 30,000 people?
SCROLL II
Cast out of Sakura's apartment, Key has little choice but to accept an offer of refuge from the charismatic cult leader, "Prince Snake-Eye." But on the night Key arrives at the seemingly peaceful shrine, a desparate couple brings their dying child to the religous leader, hoping that his power from the Snake God will mystically heal the boy. Unable to turn them away without destroying his follower's faith, the wily cultist has promised intervention from a young desciple whose powers, he claims, are even greater than his own...
