Seven Seas Entertainment published the My Wife Has No Emotion manga in English, with a brief description as follows::
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 a loving, equal relationship?
