Shūhei Miyazaki’s masterpiece series, Me & Roboco, is a refreshing manga that will remind you of all your favorite childhood cartoons. Although the concept seemed similar to Doraemon at first, I was soon proven wrong by the amazing gag and surprising twists.
It is set in a future-era Japan, where everyone owns AI maids. So of course, our protagonist also gets one after nagging his mom, but nothing could’ve prepared him for the buff maid’s entrance.
The 26th issue of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine confirmed that the Me & Roboco manga would be receiving an anime adaptation.
Although the series seems to have a child demographic (from the looks of it), it is actually the opposite when you get involved. With tons of dirty jokes and TMI scenes, I bet the upcoming anime will be right up your alley.
The story starts with Bondo’s friends showing off their robo-maids, but it isn’t really bullying because they understand his family’s financial condition. This unexpected niceness pressurizes Bondo even more, and he decides to take the matter seriously.
Soon, his personal maid arrives, and Roboco exceeds all his expectations (just not in the way he expected). Who knew that this supposedly defective maid could benchpress street thugs and break apart a whole truck?
As much as Roboco looks like a weight lifter, she is terrible at housework. Now, it’s on Bondo to find what she’s good at to minimize his mother’s wrath on him.
