Hilarious Manga About AI Maid, ‘Me and Roboco,’ to Receive Anime Adaptation

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.

About Me & Roboco

Me & Roboco is a manga series by Shūhei Miyazaki which started serialization in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 2020. Both MANGA Plus and Viz Media publish the manga’s chapter digitally in English.

It is set in an unknown year in a futuristic Japan. Every family owns a maid robot, except Bondo, our protagonist. He somehow manages to get a maid, but she turns out to be a buff woman who can smash trucks but is bad at housework.

Thus ensues the many adventures of Bondo accompanied by his impossibly strong and emotional AI maid.
