Summary
In an alternate near future， the Your Forma， a miraculous “smart thread” technology initially developed to treat a massive outbreak of viral encephalitis， has become an integral part of daily life。 But these convenient devices also record every sight， sound， and emotion their users experience。
For Electronic Investigator Echika Hieda， diving into peoples’ memories via the Your Forma and hunting for evidence is all part of a day’s work。 The problem is， she’s so adept at what she does that her assistants literally fry their brains trying to keep up with her。 After putting one too many aides in the hospital， the top brass finally furnish Echika with a partner on her level， a brilliant yet cheeky android named Harold Lucraft。 But can Echika put her prejudices against robots aside to solve the most complex case of her career？

the Your Forma system is free， but the caveat is that the company begins to plaster the objects in your vision with advertisements。 That is exactly what would happen and don’t tell me otherwise。Hieda is the typical frost queen， but she is dedicated and focused on getting the job done no matter the cost。 This is， yes， a big cover for her vulnerable side， with good reason it turns out， but she always comes off as more emotionless than the androids floating around the story， known her as amicus。Until Harold arrives and proves to be the android from hell， by virtue of being nice and thoughtful and endlessly charming （and an utter womanizer， as turns out）。 He’s more human than she acts， and their back and forth is mostly excellent。I won’t be shocked if this does the romance thing， although Harold wouldn’t be too choosy over anybody （amicus or not） it seems。 And Hieda loses all of her precious walls bit by bit and， interestingly， she is not happy about it。The reason their partnership is so good is because it taps into Harold’s abilities as a detective， as he’s basically got the observational skills of Sherlock Holmes and can put together the information that only Hieda can pick up。 It contrasts nicely with how inhumane some of his treatment is （that business with the plane， joke that it is， is brutally cruel on all fronts）。The case they’re on is a clever bit of psychosomatic hacking that has people in dire peril because… they think they are。 The suspect they’re chasing for the majority of the volume proves to have their own tragic backstory （cleverly used to show how Hieda’s laser focus works against her） and the way they find them is also smart。In case it’s not obvious， this is a smart story and even without a lot of traditional action it keeps pushing through at a really strong pace， such that I went through it very quickly for something so talky。 It’s an excellent adaptation， balancing the art and writing quite nicely。It’s not perfect， sadly， though it comes precariously close。 The infodump at the beginning IS real and it does overwhelm a bit at times。 Once free of this， the story really starts to soar， but the take-off’s definitely a bit wobbly。There’s an art to elegantly conveying your setting and this does some of it well， with the advertising business， for example， but when you’re focusing on a thing within a thing （we have to learn what Your Forma is and then how the crime/investigation stuff works in rapid succession） it clogs the narrative。Also the naming is weird。 I get Your Forma as a brand name， but it also sucks， because the grammar snob in me can’t handle your Your Forma as a viable sentence （Yoyofo？）。 And Harold Lucraft is either foreshadowing the elder gods or a very distracting name that didn’t need to exist。Which is ultimately very small potatoes， frankly， in the overall picture。 When I think back on this story， it’s the really strong parts that spring to mind and how badly I wanted the next volume when this one wrapped up （okay， the revelation at the end is a bit much， but I will allow it for now）。4。5 stars - I think I have to give this one the full five， just because it was so good at doing something I think isn’t easy to do well， yet it makes look incredibly simple。 That’s a rare talent。 。。。more

How can someone make a story where a human and a robot solve mysteries by diving into people's minds boring？ Your Forma truly is a masterpiece of failure， considering how easy it is to make this premise interesting。 How can someone make a story where a human and a robot solve mysteries by diving into people's minds boring？ Your Forma truly is a masterpiece of failure， considering how easy it is to make this premise interesting。 。。。more
