Résumé

Noa is the latest generation of synthetic doll. Her life is regulated by a thirty-three hour cycle which is controlled by a key. Whoever holds the key controls her entire existence. Among all the androids of the same production batch, only Noa possesses the ability to dream. But what she is unaware of is that she is more than just another technological toy.Joanna, also known as the Yellow City, one of the twelve cities of the planet Papathéa, is a dominated by a religious schism. On one side is Papesse Ludovique, who reigns as a symbol of only the sensual aspects of the official form of worship. On the other side is Agape, who represents true spirituality, even in the face of corruption. Noa, a doll who works as a cleaner at the Heaven Spaceship Wash, is unaware of this schism and the violence that surrounds it. When Noa decides to flee her servile captivity in search of her origins, she begins an intergalactic journey, accompanied by papal messengers Roy and Jahu.The story of Sky Doll is a both dramatic and humorous, and combines anthropomorphism and cyberpunk Science Fiction with religious concepts and mid-century modern design.
