What is Mechanical Marie about?
Mechanical Marie (Japanese: 機械じかけのマリー, Hepburn: Kikaijikake no Marī) is a Japanese manga series both written and illustrated by Aki Akimoto. Initially a one-shot in Hakusensha’s shōjo manga magazine LaLa in March 2020, it was later serialized in LaLa from June 2020 to June 2023. The series has been compiled into six tankōbon volumes.
Yen Press, the publisher of the official English version of the manga, shared a story description for Mechanical Marie:
He was a boy. She was a robot. Well…not really. In all actuality, Marie is completely totally 100% human, but because her strange new employer seemingly despises humans, the powers-that-be are paying a handsome sum for her to pretend she’s the latest and greatest android while protecting said eccentric master from the seemingly endless attempts on his life. Which is fine, but, they forgot to mention one tiny seemingly insignificant detail-this dude absolutely dotes on inanimate objects like Marie can’t believe. She’s not sure what will kill her first, the assassins or his affections…?
