To protect earth from alien invaders the secret organization known as Vesper uses highly advanced androids. These extremely powerful combat androids are able to fight and defeat the invaders, however as a consequence the life span of these battle maidens are quite limited. Mahoro is known as Vesper’s strongest warrior android and is well known for her battle capabilities even amongst her own kind. However after countless battles it is inevitable that she too will soon cease to live. As a reward for her services she is granted the choice of spending her remaining time the way she pleases. By leaving the stressful world of combat she is able to prolong her existence for just over a year. Mahoro chooses to enjoy the time she has left as an ordinary human. She soon moves in with Suguru a junior high school student living in Tokyo. Though at first Suguru doesn’t realize any connection between him and his new found maid Mahoro, it is soon revealed that his father was actually a commanding officer in Vesper, the one who had responsibility over Mahoro when she served as a battle android.
Mahoromatic would be one of my favourite and first ecchi, comedy genre animes. When it comes to anime some serials just stand out. Mahoromatic is one of these, it would be considered a classic and one of the best in its own genre. Firstly the character designs are top of the range which is probably why Mahoro has been one of the most well known maid characters in the anime world. The main male character like in many other ecchi animes is a pervert and therefore allows for comedy to flow effortlessly as Mahoro has the total opposite opinion on “dirty thoughts.” Mahoromatic is kind of like Chobits except a lot less serious on the romance side. It’s very light hearted throughout the majority of the series so its good easy viewing. A very enjoyable series that shouldn’t be missed even if your not into this genre.
