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?

SYSTEM

In the wake of Key's destructive appearance at Miho's concert, Shuichi Tataki finally feels he has enought information to confront Key's strange guardian Wakagi with his theory of Key's background... the mystery of the PPOR robots... the mystery of the 'gel"... everything will be laid bare, and all of Key's secrets will be revealed in this penultimate volume of the series.
