Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English and describes the story:
Takuma is a single guy who does nothing but go to work and come home. Too tired to do housework, he decided to hire a robot to cook and look after the house. “Mina-chan” is such a good housekeeper that Takuma jokes that she should become his wife. Mina takes Takuma’s jokes very seriously and gradually the two start doing more things together, such as going on picnics outside. As time passes, Takuma begins to have feelings for Mina, but can humans and robots have an equally loving relationship?
Sugiura launched the manga in Kadokawa’s Comic Flapper magazine in 2019. Kadokawa published the manga’s seventh compiled book volume in October 2023. Seven Seas Entertainment published the manga’s fifth compiled book volume in August 2023.
