Synopsis:

In a world shadowed by extraterrestrial threats, a combat android named Mahoro Andou faces an impending operational shutdown. With only a month of combat remaining, she chooses a different path: becoming a maid for the solitary high school student, Suguru Misato. Living in his inherited family home, Suguru finds himself unexpectedly assisted by Mahoro's capable presence amidst the daily challenges of managing the house.

As Mahoro integrates into Suguru's life, a quiet routine unfolds punctuated by moments of camaraderie with his friends. However, this seemingly peaceful existence masks deeper complexities. Mahoro harbors a hidden agenda for her time with Suguru, and subtle hints suggest their histories may be unexpectedly linked to the organization that created her. The series explores themes of purpose, connection, and the delicate balance between duty and personal freedom within a backdrop of ongoing global conflict.
