Mechanical Marie

Mechanical Marie (機械じかけのマリー, Kikaijikake no Marie) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akiko Akimoto. It is serialized in the monthly shōjo manga magazine LaLa, published by Hakusensha. The story follows Marie, a former genius martial artist, who takes on a new job as the exclusive maid for Arthur, the heir to a massive conglomerate. Because Arthur is cold-hearted and intensely misanthropic, Marie pretends to be a robot in order to work for him. If her true human nature is discovered, she faces immediate execution, yet Arthur is extraordinarily kind to inorganic objects, leading to an unexpected doting route. The series is described as a romantic comedy that balances laughter and heart-fluttering moments, with the tagline 'Doting or death!?' The official LaLa website provides a synopsis, a list of compiled volumes, and trial readings. A related title, 'Mechanical Marie+', is also featured, with a giveaway application announced in the June 2025 issue of LaLa. The brand is a manga intellectual property owned by Hakusensha and associated with the LaLa magazine brand.
