Metal Alive

In 2099, mecha combat is the ultimate sport. Renji Takane, a kid with more dreams than common sense, discovers a forbidden-class robot... and a wisecracking AI that never shuts up. Together they enter the Iron Tournament, where fame is earned fight by fight, but the most dangerous enemies aren't in the arena — they're behind it. TASC and Renji don't yet know they were chosen for something that goes far beyond winning. Metal Alive.
