* DisappearedDad: Bondo's father isn't seen until the 100th chapter, since he's a traveler and part of what seems to be a Doctors Without Borders type of organization. Bondo mentions that he never gets to see him, and when he does, it's not for long.



* NonIndicativeName: From the ''/j/ump'' editorial office, Second Year the fourth year editor. It ''used'' to fit two years prior when he actually got the name, but years of neglect and mistreatment from ''Jump'' higher-ups made it so that they won't call him anything else.

* MediumAwareness: Everyone in the cast, at one point, acknowledges they're living in a manga. The chapter that was released on the same day of their anime announcement pronounces this trope loud and clear, since it centers around the cast trying to make itself more marketable for the viewing audience and for the censors.
* MysteriousPast: For all of her wacky antics, Roboco is very reluctant to actually say where she came from, since she's not actually an Order Maid. Multiple chapters hint that she came from a combative background, with some people from her past explicitly being people from a battle organization.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Bondo's main (male) friends Kaneo and Gachi are an unusual example; the default gag with them involves ''apparently'' mocking Bondo, but then following up with something turning the whole thing into a compliment. Depending on RuleOfFunny, they might be 100% sincere, or just engaging in super passive-aggressive PolitenessJudo.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Done in the English translation. One chapter has Roboco try out slang, but in one instance she ends up dancing and proceeds to imitate the "Dabi Dance" from the ''Hero Academia'' chapter of the same name. In the English translation, the slang was misinterpreted as "Bust a T", which according to her means "Bust a [[spoiler:Toya]]"--while it still refers to "Dabi Dance", it instead outright reveals the twist of the chapter ([[spoiler:that Dabi is in fact Endeavor's assumed dead son Toya]]).

to:

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Characters occasionally acknowledge the fact CastOfExpies: Considering that the series constantly lampshades its "''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' [[RecycledInSpace with robo-maids]]" status, it's no wonder that the cast is full of ''Doraemon'' expies:
** Bondo and Roboco serve as ones for Nobita and Doraemon, respectively. Roboco even has her own Dorami expy in her younger sister Robomi.
** Motsuo and Gorilla Gachi act as this for Suneo and Gian, albeit
they're nicer from the getgo and are explicitly friends with Bondo (but only ''appear'' to bully him at first glance).
** Madokaaaa hits most of Shizuka's traits, and Gachi's younger sister plays the role of a prettier version of Gian's sister.
** Even Dekisugi gets an expy
in Motosugi, but Bondo is only moderately jealous of the boy (in fact it's the other way around, with Motosugi developing an obsession with Bondo).
* CompanyCrossReferences: Too many to count! The manga's pretty much
a mangacelebration of everything ''Jump'', so references to other successful and running series are to be expected.

In the not too distant future, intelligent robots have become commonplace. Most notably, ultra-capable AI-powered robotic maids called [=OrderMaids=], which are massively popular worldwide in no small part because of their [[{{Moe}} cuteness]]. Everybody has their own OrderMaid. Everyone, that is, except for 10-year-old Bondo Taira, whose family can't afford one. However, that changes when Roboco shows up at his door.

Now, Roboco isn't like other OrderMaids. She's weirdly muscular, she's lousy at housework, she can produce chicken tenders, she has laser vision, she can fly, and she has a whole host of other oddities. No one even knows where she came from, since Bondo's mother never placed an order.
