This was a Franxx.
Standing on the platform and looking at the Mecha before him, Fang Zheng could not help but sigh. He had seen quite a few Mechas before, including biomechanical ones like EVA and purely mechanical ones like Gundams, but honestly, this was the first time he had seen a Mecha that looked this "cute."
That was right—cute.
How should he put it? Rather than a Mecha, this thing looked more like an enlarged Chibi Mega Man. Its head was huge, its body slender, and its limbs tiny. Honestly... Fang Zheng suspected it belonged in some children's cartoon. Its art style was simply too chibi, leaving him at a loss for words.
At the very least, compared to things like EVA, Gundams, or even VFs, this thing felt far too cute.
"Fine, then let's see whether you're all talk. Get in!"
By now, the twin-tailed girl had changed into her pilot suit and arrived beside her unit. She pointed at him aggressively, while Fang Zheng merely shrugged and entered the cockpit with her.
The cockpit did not look particularly cramped, though it was not spacious either. The twin-tailed girl sat in her pilot seat, then turned and glared at Fang Zheng.
"Fine, compatibility testing doesn't lie. If you're bluffing, this is your last chance!"
"Whether I'm bluffing or not, won't we find out by trying?"
Fang Zheng gave the twin-tailed girl a strange smile.
Before coming here, Fang Zheng had already hacked into the network and learned how Franxx Mechas were made and operated. Strictly speaking, Franxx was a biomechanical Mecha similar to EVA, a new type of unit created by humanity through genetic modification based on the klaxosaurs.
Of course, that was not surprising. Enemies and allies sharing the same origins was a common trope in anime,
