About
Catherine had thought getting a friend for her android, Hokuro, would be simple. But when Hokuro ends up choosing the beautiful but troubled Seiji, their lives are turned upside-down. Suddenly confronted with their own respective baggage, they struggle to create a family together, all while Seiji's past comes back to haunt them.
'A Bird with Gold-Mended Wings' is a light sci-fi/slice of life kinetic novel, following a year in the lives of Catherine and her android family. It is a story of healing and found family, addressing the danger (both real and potential) of denying another's personal autonomy for one's own expectations and agendas.
