Kodansha‘s Morning two online manga magazine published last Thursday the final chapter of Kaziya‘s Bonbyaku Sensai: Jinrui no Jumyō wa Takadaka 100-Nen Desu ga Kikai no Watashi wa 1000-Nen Ikirareru node Anata ga Inaku Natte mo Kono Basho de Hitori Ikite Ikimasukara Goshinpainaku (Bonbyaku Sensai: The Lifespan of Humans is at most 100 years, But as a Machine I Can Live for 1,000 Years and Even When You Are Gone, I Will Still Live in This Place Alone, So Don’t Worry) manga.
The manga’s story centers on Kanna, an android girl learning everything about bonsai from a “teacher” at a bonsai shop. After many years, Kanna is now left alone to take care of the bonsai plants and the shop. Until a new visitor arrives.
