Brother of voice actors [Melissa](https://anilist.co/staff/95452) and [Jonathan Fahn](https://anilist.co/staff/105753) and married to voice actress [Dorothy Elias-Fahn](https://anilist.co/staff/95537/).

One year after the events of the First Cycle, Tetsuro has returned to Earth only to end up chained in his home in Megalopolis. It is then that Maetel appears before him once again, offering him the opportunity to join her on a new journey - one she claims will lead him to his destiny.
 
Note: Started 15 years after the series initially ended serialization. The second cycle makes up volumes 15-21.

Maetel abandoned her mother and her home planet, the doomed and frozen La Metal, where people must become cyborgs to survive. When she is beckoned to return, her options seem slim: follow her mother's path (and with it a robot mind and the contempt of all humans), or run away and fight with humans against the machines. Yet, she is not without comrades and defenders. If she can accept the friendship of beings of metal who desire peace, and oppose those who think being made of flesh and blood is enough to make one human, she may still have a chance to find her own path.
