Storyline

This is a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery. In order to graduate from Ahroy Academy, famed for its prowess in AI, I need to program and train an android to function seamlessly in society. But... “Orders received, eliminating target." Aino, an android I dragged back from the dump, lunged at me with a blade the moment she opened her eyes. If she hadn't experienced a system error, I would've died a virgin! After learning about her inaccessible black box and her inability to recall her past, I saw an opportunity for co-operation. “This place is pretty run-down, but Aino accepts your proposal.” “Thanks for putting it delicately. Are you really an android?” I'll help her uncover her past and in exchange, she'll help me graduate! We'll be living together as man and android in an exciting, chaotic, heart-pounding co-habitation arrangement! Like I said, it's a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery!
