Akimoto started the manga in March 2020 as a one-shot manga, and from June 2020 to June 2023, the manga was serialized in Hakusensha’s Lala magazine. Hakusensha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in December 2020 and the sixth and final volume in September 2023.
The manga centers on Marie, who gets a new job as a personal maid to Arthur, the heir to a large conglomerate. Marie’s new master is cold-hearted and hates people, and she has to pretend to be a robot, or she may be executed if she is found to be a human. But Arthur is extremely kind to inanimate objects and starts to dote on Marie.
