Summary
The schoolboy Tetsuo, a weak-willed boy, finds a dead girl on his way home from school; when he comes back, only a doll is left. Repaired, it becomes the girl again and tells him she is a Grandoll, a doll sent by aliens to replace humans, and that he is one too.

Trivia
- Tezuka drew on Jack Finney's novel The Body Snatchers (1955); the idea that the hero wonders whether he himself is a copy is his own [1].
