Me & Roboco (Japanese: 僕とロボコ Hepburn: Boku to Roboko?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shuhei Miyazaki. It has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 2020. The series is published digitally in English language by Viz Media. An anime television series adaptation by Gallop is set to premiere in December 2022.

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 of 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 powerful clumsy maid ever created. With Roboco's arrival, Bondo's life starts to get a whole lot weirder.

Characters

Roboco (ロボコ Roboko?)
A self proclaimed 17 year old order maid who serves Bondo. She has a heavyset body structure and masculine legs. When she has low battery, her body changes to a slim petite girl's.
Bondo Taira (平 凡人 Taira Bondo?)
Bondo is a regular 10 year old boy. He always deals with Roboco's antics, but he tolerates them and he actually feels lonely when she is not around. He is obsessed with Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Gachi Gorilla (我知 ゴリラ Gachi Gorira?)
Gachi Gorilla is one of Bondo's best friends and older brother to his sister Ruri. Gachi Gorilla does not hesitate to help his friends when they are in trouble. When he is not playing with his friends, he is helping his mom to lookout for his siblings.
Motsuo Kaneo (金尾 モツオ Kaneo Motsuo?)
Motsuo is Bondo's other best friend who also owns a order maid named Meico. He is the richest and smartest among his friends. His father wanted to enroll him in an overseas elementary school, but he refused. Instead, he made a deal with his dad to become the first in every national mock exam in order to stay with his friends until he graduates.
Madoka (円?)
Madoka is 11 year old girl who also works as part time idol. Bondo has a crush on her and is always trying hard to impress her. Madoka has a unique mood swing: she turns masculine whenever she is in serious mode.
