Welcome to the 26th century! Cyborg (半机器人) technology is a way of life. People with human brains and artificial (人造的) bodies are everywhere.

The story is based on Japanese manga artist Yukito Kishiro’s popular manga series of the same name. The series was published during the 1990s. The main character is a girl named Alita.
