Mechanical Marie is scheduled to debut in October. It is adapted from Aki Akimoto‘s romantic comedy manga, which tells the story of Marie, a once-acclaimed martial artist who now serves as a maid for zaibatsu heir Arthur, disguising herself as a robot at work due to Arthur’s distant and misanthropic disposition.
