I have the feeling I've finally come up with an idea for a manga that is slightly shounen~! :D
I don't really have anything much about it except a few ideas floating in my head that have yet to be grounded.
I often tell you guys whenever I've gotten a new idea and I do this mainly for me so that I can go back and read through these (embarrassing) posts and get inspired on another idea or fix/elaborate on one I've already mentioned.
My idea goes like this:
I'm not sure how long it is in the future but eventually humanity has become virtually immortal because the medical system is near perfection. Because of this many humans live on earth. This is obviously a problem so a scientist invented an android that kills humans. Now this lone android (might be more than one, one sounds a bit too puny) must go against the vast population of androids protecting the humans in a world where it's hard to tell who is human and who is an android.
Killing humans is a sad and terrible thing to do, but at that time on earth it is the right thing and in such a story I'd like to address what makes a human a human.
It's actually a more optimistic approach to a future. The utopian future which is also a dystopian future...Hrmm...
It's optimistic because in most stories that take place in the future Earth is destroyed or in ruins or something. This story takes place in a future so incredibly advanced that humanity has found ways to restore Earth.
It's like after all those stories where the Earth was desolate so everyone moved to another planet and then the Earth was restored and so they moved back.
Also this is with androids that follow Isaac Asimov's three laws:
-A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
-A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
-A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
However, since it's something programmed into androids scientists can also reprogram androids to do the opposite.
Yep, yep.
This is also a good story to do design-wise because humanity has advanced to much that beauty is what is now sought after rather than intellectual advancement. Therefore everybody looks unique and beautiful.
People no longer give birth and have a range of relationships.
Yep, yep, yep.
:D
This was inspired from several stories of futures because they all had different and interesting takes on technological advancement. Also I was inspired by the religion vs atheism debates etc. because...I don't know. Last night I just watched a bunch of videos like that and suddenly thought of this story! XD
It's not supporting the idea of a god or anything with 'intelligent design' but rather the furthest a human can evolve before they eventually die out. Androids etc. aren't life forms, are not immortal, so it's not really the same thing. I need to give more thought on this though. I feel like I want androids to replace the humans, but that's not realistic what-so-ever.
Also I say immortal and virtually immortal but I just mean that they have incredibly long life spans and if the humans gets sick etc. then they can immediately be healed so there is a very low chance of them dying unless they are murdered.
Human vs. human murder would still exist, but it's incredibly rare because it would be very hard to do so.
Let's enough ranting about it. I should probably go add to my own idea and start building this 'cause...what better time than the present? No time is a bad time to start something new! :D
ADIOSSS!!
