PLOT
Tokiko Mima (also known as "Key"), the protagonist of the novel, thinks she is a robot created by her scientist grandfather Murao Mima. Key thinks Dr. Mima constructs her a new, larger body on her birthday every year. Mima records Key's will on voice tape as he lies on his deathbed, revealing that Key can become human with the help of 30,000 friends. Key feels she needs to finish this quickly before her battery dies. The story explores how Key's identity slowly comes into question as well as a covert plot aimed at limiting the special supernatural skills that she gradually develops.
