Details and Side-by-Side Comparisons
The Music of Marie
Marieの奏でる音楽 (Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku) was originally published in two volumes in 2001, then re-released in omnibus format in Japanese in 2016, before being licensed and published as The Music of Marie by One Peace Books in 2022. This single-volume work tells the story of Pipi, a young girl whose heart yearns for Kai, but as the only one who can hear the ever-present music of the mechanical goddess Marie, will he be able to accept Pipi's affection?
