With the potential there if sales are good, Viz Media has announced that Shuhei Miyazaki’s manga series Me & Roboco is getting done as compiled volumes for release in English. With the simulpub underway, the distributor will start bringing out volumes this fall for it as a digital exclusive.
The series by Shuhei Miyazaki began in July 2020 and is ongoing with four volumes as serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.
Plot Concept: 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.
