Of Machines and Men

Of Machines and Men is an early comic series as a variant of the slice of life genre, set in a semi-futuristic world where robotics and artificial intelligence is greatly advanced, and various types of robots have been given roles in the work force based on their model. The story centers around Pin, a young robot that is the first of his kind to have true sentience, and is living like a human in a tourist town alongside his best friend, Agil. The comic follows their adventures and daily lives, all the while Pin is still trying to find his original creator and unlock his memories.

imagine how much it must suck to find someone like you only for them to be completely disinterested in youAnd how much more it must suck when someone hates you for no reason before even meeting you because you stole their girlfriendAnd how much it must suck to not be able to prove yourself worthy and make amends with said bitter childAnd how it ULTIMATELY sucks that there's nothing you can do about it at the moment
