Even though the time has passed a little, the Go match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo still holds great significance. Robots, which were only to be found in imaginative paintings of the future, have naturally come to our daily lives. This is true not only in society but also in webtoons. Androids are no longer the subjects that are obtrusive or get avoided in webtoons. Among the webtoons depicting such androids, the articles will introduce three special webtoons revolving around androids.

 



1. Trouble X Trouble Doll (Loethigh)

What is Android? Android is simply a robot in human form. However, how do we perceive the images of a robot as we know it? We often regard robots as an omnipotent existence that has much greater intelligence than humans and can do anything without making mistakes. But not at all for Milde who appears in this story. Yet, she would cause more accidents. She can be by no means a perfect example of a robot.

However, Milde is still adorable. Once you notice her being passionately affectionate for Ardert, who has been a shut-in for a long time, you naturally get a smile on your face. The story of him and her, who is a bit silly, but cute and sexy at the same time, is lovely by itself without depicting an android as a perfect existence. 

 

2. Nano List (Min Song-ah)

In the world where androids are commonly accepted, the android Nano suddenly gets introduced to the everyday life of a very ordinary high school student, Milo Ahn, making him confused and delighted at the same time. He doubts about Nano that his deceased sister has sent him as a birthday present, but nevertheless, his compelling feelings toward her lead them to a new journey.

What would be the real identities of the androids who all have such attractive characteristics? As both protagonists explore Nano's mysterious background, you can't help but fall in love with the androids as they start to show their own unique personalities. The androids that appear in this webtoon are simply too good for humans. The way the robots love somebody else and feel emotions just as humans make the webtoon truly fascinating.
