It's Death Note meets Perfect Blue in a tense, horrific mystery from the creators of Fort of Apocalypse and Starving Anonymous. This FINAL omnibus volume contains parts 3 and 4. A complete story in two books.
A moment of despair transforms lifelong loser Tadahiro into a new being, inhabiting the invisible network of silicon that underpins life in Tokyo. Driven mad by his new power, he sets out on a sick crusade to make the mediocre singer he worships, a shy girl named Misaki, into the world’s top idol—no matter how many people have to die in the process. The string of mysterious “accidents” catches the attention of a private detective named Sudo, who develops an “insulator” to trap this modern monster, whom he calls “N.” But in a world full of AI-driven surveillance and “friendly” robots that know your name, is there any prison that can hold an artifical god? After all, even data on the cloud has at least one backup…
A robot baby doll crawling through the rain sets the stage for the last-act tragedy, in this final volume of AIDOL!
Horrific and perplexing Final Destination–style kills and a toxic showbiz backdrop reminiscent of The Substance and Black Swan make AIDOL the perfect sci-fi slasher story for fans of Dragon Head, PTSD Radio, Homunculus, and Erased.
