▍About Me & Roboco
Shuhei Miyazaki started serializing the manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 2020. Shueisha has collected its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes, with seven volumes released as of March 4, 2022. The series is published digitally in English by Viz Media. The first volume was released on October 26, 2021.
The “maid robot comedy” series is 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 received is an unable-to-compute maid named Roboco, the most potent clumsy maid ever created. With Roboco’s arrival, Bondo’s life starts to get a whole lot weirder.
