Story
Kazuya Saotome is a nerdy engineer who's trying to work on developing a robot. His rival, Kotaro Nanbara, offers him a chance to use a computer program which should supposedly give him some valuable information, but is meant to give him a virus. Kazuya accidentally orders a cyberdoll named May while trying to get rid of the virus. Hand Maid May is a palm-sized robotic doll who's very sensitive, sympathetic to Kazuya, and has to be plugged in. The early part of the storyline focuses on Nanbara trying to get Kazuya to return the cyberdoll since he's unable to pay for it, and Nanbara enlists the help of several other cyberdolls, all of whom end up falling for Kazuya.In the latter part of the anime May is traded up for a lifesize version of herself, after Kazuya receives a visit from a mysterious visitor who wishes to promote Kazuya's artificial intelligence research. The situation complicates further when Kazuya's human friend Kasumi begins to get jealous of all the cyberdolls flirting with Kazuya and they all compete to see who can go on a date with him. The last segment of the story deals with Kazuya and May having to deal with a virus which is shutting down all of the cyberdolls, and a couple of mysterious visitors who turn out to be related to Kazuya and Nanbara in the future.
