Get ready for some risqué robotic romance! The AnimeFesta anime Makina-san’s a Love Bot?! is officially getting an English dub, and it’s hitting screens on April 30th. Here’s everything you need to know about this ecchi sci-fi comedy.
What’s Makina-san’s a Love Bot?! About?
Makina-san’s a Love Bot?! (also known as Kakushite! Makina-san!!) is based on the manga by Yoshimi Sato. The story revolves around:
- Eita Akutsu: An introverted mecha otaku (obsessed with robots).
- Makina Agatsuma: A cheerful and popular gyaru (a type of Japanese fashion and lifestyle) who suddenly appears in Eita’s apartment.
However, Makina has a big secret: she’s not human! She’s an AI robot designed for intimacy, but she’s been restricted from accessing any adult-related information. Eita, on the other hand, is a virgin who’s awkward and inexperienced with women.
The series follows their top-secret cohabitation as they try to keep Makina’s true nature hidden from the world. Hilarity ensues as Eita attempts to help Makina navigate human interactions and her intended purpose, all while dealing with his own feelings for her.
