The...sniff....second...sniff...story...sniff sniff WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🙁

Anyway, the whole plot's about replacing one's body with Machines. And like any other experiment, there's a con..you either die or go insane.

The first story turns out just fine...despite Kou's disease he's still able to be with Yuya (atleast until the manga ended). Sweet, melodramatic, average.

But the 2nd story was so heartbreaking! It's like Kento was happy one moment and shoved back to hell, AGAIN. I usually hate tragedies...cause they just kill the character for the sake of getting their readers to tear up. But this story moved me in a different way. The fact that Madoka remembered Kento, told him he loves him, right before he died was genius! Imagine if the author ended it with Madoka dying without remembering anything..I would've been devastated and would've hated this story. So I'm really glad, this was one of those beautifully written tragic one-shots.

The side story was more on the comedic side (well the extra to be exact). It's pure fantasy but quite a nice read.

The last chapter, God's Left Hand, was a beautiful sum up of all of these stories. The theme that love, even with its intangible essence and its ultimate finite existence, is still worth it is summarized poignantly. Using the tool of a 'machine' body, Fuwa-sensei illustrates this theme with the 'miracles' that love brings even when something isn't 'suppose' to happen.
Spicy Hot Life was still a fantasy story with the theme of the depth of love breaking through into miracles, but not using machines as the analogy; rather, it was a death god setting. This one was a more 'happy' ending, (the title is very misleading...it's more of a serious story), but it still has a similar tone to the machine stories.
