Plot

Set in a future where every household owns maid robots known as OrderMaids, average grade-schooler Bondo Taira dreams of having his very own robot because his friends, Gachi Gorilla and Motsuo Kaneo, always brag about Kaneo's OrderMaid, Meico. With some convincing, Bondo manages to make his mom agree and get them one, but what he receives is an unable-to-compute maid named Roboco, the most powerful clumsy maid ever created. With Roboco's arrival, Bondo's life starts to get a whole lot weirder.
