The trailer depicts the premise of the anime: the rising popularity of pretty robotic maids. The 10-year-old Bondo Taira wants one, too. However, he did not expect a very muscular robotic maid, Roboco, arriving at his doorstep. Roboco deviates from the typical robotic maid: she has big thighs and bodies like a bodybuilder, and is very clumsy. She can almost destroy an entire house even by just doing simple chores. Bondo is not fond of her at first, but eventually warms up.
