Odette Yoshizawa is an android pursuing the life of a normal girl. At her own request, she is enrolled in school by her creator, Professor Yoshizawa, to better understand the differences between herself and human girls.
Volume 3 opens with Odette searching for a missing cat, resulting in a twist that is unexpected and touching. Odette’s growing maturity as a character is on display here as she continues to discover that she has the power to affect others in the world around her.
The rest of the chapters are par for the course as Odette continues to develop human traits, questioning where they come from and what they mean. This includes finding out that she is the object of someone’s affection and attempting to understand his emotions. As the volume progresses, she furthers her experience as a teenage girl by going out on a date and laments the fact that her android body has to be charged repeatedly.
As with previous volumes, Karakuri Odette continues its run as an atmospheric sci-fi tale that is easily relatable. Charming character moments mixed with dramatic tension make this a solid entry in the series full of personality.
