 The official X (formerly Twitter) of LaLa magazine announced a television anime adaptation of Aki Akimoto's Kikaijikake no Marie (Mechanical Marie) manga on Monday.Akimoto serialized the romantic comedy manga in LaLa magazine from June 2020 to May 2023. Hakusensha shipped the sixth and final volume in September 2023. Synopsis Wealthy, handsome, and successful, Arthur Louis Zetes is no stranger to the greed of people. Constantly doubting those around him, he has no faith in humanity; thus, he makes a request for the perfect maid—a robot maid. However, his butler is unable to acquire such a servant due to technological limitations, so he finds the next best substitute. Marie Evans is a former child prodigy in martial arts known for her lack of expression. Drowning in debt, she readily accepts the offer to be a maid that acts like a robot. While Arthur is often blunt towards humans, he cannot help but dote on his personal robot; in turn, Marie is moved by his drive and consideration toward her. Kikaijikake no Marie follows the comedic everyday life of a rich heir and his mechanical (human) maid.

| This is listed everywhere as shoujo and male lead looks like a typical example of bishonen for the said demography. But...the synopsis gives me huge vibes of surreal shonen comedies from the 00s like Hayatte the Butler. |

@RobertBobert the manga ran in a shoujo magazine
same one as Ouran host club, kaichou wa maid-sama, vampire knight and natsume's book of friends, even

| @Sleabedybarb I don't doubt that this is shoujo. I'm just talking about vibes after reading the synopsis. |

@RobertBobert I can tell you've only read the most surface level, generic romance shoujo manga.
| @Sleabedybarb Please, let's dispense with harsh superficial conclusions about what I have read and what I have not. |
