2017 saw an announcement for an eight-episode Animated Adaptation. In 2010, Universal picked up the rights to make a CGI/live-action movie. This is an especially urgent matter for Gesicht, since he's one of the scheduled murder victims. German robot detective Gesicht (German for 'face'), who is so advanced as to be nearly indistinguishable from a normal human, investigates the killings in an effort to learn the secret link between the advanced robots and humans being murdered. Only a supremely powerful robot could be killing the other robots-but all robots are hardwired to be unable to kill humans, with one very important exception. Even more disturbingly, the same killer seems to be murdering humans as well. In a world where humans and sentient robots co-exist, someone or some thing is targeting the seven most advanced robots, killing them off one by one. The manga ran in the seinen magazine Big Comic Original from 2003 to 2009. Takashi Nagasaki is credited as a co-author, while Makoto Tezuka ( Osamu Tezuka's son) supervised the story.
