What is
Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family about?
The story
follows Alma, an android who looks like an adorable girl but with
extraordinary combat power and artificial intelligence capable of surpassing
humans. She was created by the young geniuses Enji and Suzume,
who, shocked by her behavior, are called "father" and
"mother" by her.
Although
they are initially puzzled, the three begin to live together as a makeshift
family. As Alma discovers the world with endless curiosity and unstoppable
energy, her "parents" try to guide her growth and evolution as the
ultimate robot. Thus begins a family comedy full of tenderness and
chaos that promises to conquer viewers.
