comment |
Super-Conductive Brains Parataxis (note 超伝脳パラタクシス:Choutennou Parataxis) is a Seinen Science Fiction manga serialized in Weekly Young Jump in 2001 for only six chapters. Although the creator, Shintaro Kago, is known for writing guro manga, this is relatively tame compared to his other works. However, because of the (non-pornographic) nudity and gore, it is still Not Safe for Work.In a future age, giant humanoid creatures called Surdlers are used as basis for cyborgs that are employed in transportation, warfare, and construction. They are cloned and mass-produced like machines, and treated as such by societies, but some of them seem to have vestiges of their original minds. The story starts when one such Surdler breaks free of its mechanical constraints and runs amok, and follows the effects the event has on society from there.Compare Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future. note Seriously! Future humans use other humans as genetically engineered pack animals, without being aware that these "animals" are also human |

Artistic License – Biology |
| | Super-Conductive Brains Parataxis (Manga) / int_18aff462 |
comment |
Artistic License – Biology: An especially unrealistic example is when all the Surdlers start giving birth on their own, despite their reproductive organs having been removed. The In-Universe explanation for this is that they are changing their reproductive system in order to prove that they are living beings. |

comment |
Adam and Eve Plot: When Akira, Momoko, and Akihiko wake up from cryostasis, Akihiko assumes that there are no other survivors and uses it as an excuse to attempt to rape Momoko. This is later subverted when more "giants" wake up later. |

| | Super-Conductive Brains Parataxis (Manga) / int_4508b16b |
comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: There's a strange lack of a built-in security system in the room with the mainframe that all the Lilliputians' brains are connected to. Despite the presence of a video recording from Dr. Shimura in a different room to taunt the surviving humans, the mainframe room doesn't have any sort of robot guards stationed in it and is surprisingly easy for a normal-sized human to destroy. |

Unwilling Roboticisation: Surdlers don't start out as mindless machines; they are first cloned and have minds of their own, although not being raised as part of society, they're not very intelligent. |

| | Super-Conductive Brains Parataxis (Manga) / int_54321e11 |
comment |
Innocent Fanservice Girl: The Surdlers look like nude females, but humans treat them like machines, and they are not sexualized In-Universe. Their nudity is justified because they are clones of the original giants and of course they aren't going to come wearing clothes (which wouldn't be useful to machines anyway). |

Near-Rape Experience: When Akira isn't looking, Unlucky Childhood Friend Akihiko tries to rape Momoko after waking up from cryostasis assuming an Adam and Eve Plot, but then Akira comes back and punches him, knocking him over. Akihiko stops because Akira threatens to kill him. Later, when Akira goes missing, Akihiko tries to rape Momoko again, but then stops because her screams could put them in danger of being detected by Surdlers. |
