History
with unique touches
On the international market, the work is published by Yen Press, which presents the story of Arthur Louis Zetes, heir to a powerful conglomerate that deeply despises humans. To protect him from the multiple threats around him, they hire Marie, a prodigious martial artist who works as an android maid and bodyguard. However, Arthur has a peculiar obsession: he adores inanimate objects, which generates situations as comical as they are dangerous for Marie, who must deal with both murderers and her master's intense affections.
