Me & Roboco

Me & Roboco (僕とロボコ) is a Japanese comedy manga series created by Shuhei Miyazaki and serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since issue No. 31 of 2020. Set in a future where beautiful robotic maids known as OrderMaids have become common household companions, the story follows ordinary elementary school student Bond and Roboco, the wildly unconventional and extraordinarily powerful maid robot who arrives at his home. The series later expanded into a short-form TV anime that began broadcasting in December 2022 and a feature-length anime film released in Japan on April 18, 2025. As of August 2026, the manga has reached volume 27, with volume 28 already scheduled by Shueisha for October 2026.

Me & Roboco merchandise reflects the series’ deliberately exaggerated comedy, parody-heavy visual language, expressive character faces, Roboco’s iconic knees, and the everyday friendship between Bond and his classmates. Japanese releases include manga volumes, articulated figures, acrylic stands, plush mascots, keychains, capsule toys, UNION ARENA trading cards, movie merchandise, apparel, and limited promotional items. Product availability varies significantly because some goods are regular retail releases while others originate from events, theaters, capsule machines, card-game campaigns, or limited movie promotions.

Popular Me & Roboco merchandise types

• Manga Volumes: The original Jump Comics releases remain one of the core Me & Roboco collectibles. Shueisha released volume 27 on August 4, 2026 and currently lists volume 28 for October 2, 2026. Individual covers are particularly recognizable because the series frequently uses visual comedy and references familiar manga-cover compositions.
• Nendoroid Roboco: Good Smile Company produced an approximately 100 mm articulated Roboco Nendoroid. It includes normal, smiling, and intense expressions together with an open-skirt part, the “Ossu!! Kuso Otoko Meshi” accessory and a transparent Roboco Cannon effect part.

Me & Roboco character lineup

The official Weekly Shonen Jump series page highlights a core cast built around Roboco, Bond and their unusually wholesome group of friends.

• Roboco (ロボコ): The central OrderMaid and the visual centerpiece of most Me & Roboco merchandise. Unlike the elegant maid robot Bond expected, Roboco is extremely powerful, chaotic, expressive and famous for her muscular knees. Her broad range of exaggerated expressions makes her particularly suited to Nendoroids, acrylic goods, cards and comedy-focused collectibles.
• Bond (平凡人): The ordinary elementary school boy whose household receives Roboco. Bond functions as the emotional and comedic anchor of the series and appears frequently alongside Roboco in manga, anime and group merchandise.
• Gachi Gorilla (我知ゴリラ): One of Bond’s closest friends and an important part of the series’ friendship-driven comedy. He appears across character goods, trading cards and Movic plush mascots.
• Motsuo (金尾モツオ): Another of Bond’s main friends. He features prominently in the official character lineup, UNION ARENA products and plush mascot merchandise.
• Madoka / Madoka-chuwan (円): A recurring character in Bond’s school-life storyline and part of the wider anime merchandise lineup, including acrylic stands and keychains.
• Meiko (メイコ): Another OrderMaid character whose more conventional maid-robot appearance creates a visual contrast with Roboco. She is included in the official Jump cast and Bandai merchandise.
• Bond's Mom: A major household character who frequently participates in Roboco’s chaotic domestic comedy. She appears in both the TV anime and movie cast.
• Nyonta (ニョンタ): The Taira household cat and another recurring character featured in the official manga lineup.
• Ruri Gachi, Shun Motesugi & Akane Urahara: Additional recurring characters officially listed by Weekly Shonen Jump, helping expand the collection beyond the central Roboco-and-Bond pairing.

Hot Me & Roboco merchandise collaborations and themes

• Roboco's Knees: Roboco’s powerful knees are one of the defining visual jokes of the franchise and appear repeatedly across poses, keychains, figure designs and official promotional language.
• OrderMaid Theme: The contrast between the world’s stylish robotic maids and Roboco’s unconventional appearance drives the original premise and creates a natural robot-and-maid theme for merchandise.
• Roboco Cannon: Roboco’s over-the-top abilities are represented in Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid through a transparent Roboco Cannon effect part, giving figure collectors a more action-oriented display option.
• Jump Manga Parody: The manga is built around rapid gag storytelling and frequent stylistic parody, making exaggerated expressions and manga-inspired visual references important parts of its collectible appeal.
• Movie Multiverse Roboco: The 2025 theatrical film introduced multiple alternate Robocos from different universes: a mainstream battle-manga world, full-scale science-fiction action, romantic comedy and Showa-era gag manga. These designs became one of the strongest new merchandise themes following the film.
• Battle Manga Roboco: This alternate Roboco emphasizes heroic battle-series styling and appears in both movie promotion and UNION ARENA cards.
• Full-Scale SF Action Roboco: A science-fiction action interpretation gives the character a dramatically different presentation and has been adapted into cards, acrylic stands and acrylic block displays.
• Romantic Comedy Roboco: The romantic-comedy universe gives collectors an intentionally genre-shifted Roboco design distinct from her normal gag-manga appearance.
• Showa Gag Manga Roboco: This retro-comedy version uses a deliberately different visual language and appears in movie character goods and UNION ARENA promotional cards.
• Roboco & Bond: The central relationship remains one of the most important collection themes, particularly for manga covers, anime key visuals and character-group merchandise.
• Friendship Group: Bond, Gachi Gorilla and Motsuo form a recurring friendship unit that appears prominently in the story and works naturally for coordinated card, acrylic and mascot displays.
• UNION ARENA: The Bandai TCG is one of the most significant licensed Me & Roboco product collaborations, with both a Starter Deck and full Booster Pack dedicated to the series.
• Weekly Shonen Jump Collecting: Manga volumes and miniature Jump Comics products make the series appealing to collectors building shelves around modern Shonen Jump titles rather than one character alone.
• Movie-Era Collectibles: The feature film created a separate merchandise wave involving multiverse designs, AR cards, acrylics, capsule toys and theater-exclusive promotional goods.

Popular manufacturers and publishers

• Shueisha: Publisher of the original Me & Roboco manga under the Jump Comics label and publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump, where the series has been serialized since 2020.
• Good Smile Company: Manufacturer of Nendoroid Roboco and a supplier of official anime goods including trading acrylic stands and connecting acrylic keychains.
• Bandai: Produces Me & Roboco capsule merchandise and is responsible for physical UNION ARENA products featuring the series.
• Movic: Produces licensed anime character goods including acrylic stands, SNS-style acrylic keychains and Mamemate Plus plush mascots.
• OMOTION INC.: Manufacturer of the movie’s 13-design AR Character Card Collection released in 2026.
• Digital Frontier: Listed on the official movie site as the manufacturer of apparel tied to the theatrical release.

Because Me & Roboco products come from several different licensed manufacturers, collectors should verify the manufacturer and copyright line for each item rather than assuming every product is made by Shueisha or the anime production committee.

Quality & craftsmanship

• Roboco Expression Accuracy: Roboco’s facial expressions change dramatically throughout the series, so figure and acrylic products are most effective when they preserve the exaggerated eyes, mouth shapes and manga-style reactions that define the character.
• Knee Sculpting: Roboco’s knees are an intentional part of her character design rather than a minor anatomical detail. Nendoroids and other three-dimensional products need to preserve the unusual silhouette and comedic emphasis associated with them.
• Nendoroid Articulation: Good Smile’s approximately 100 mm figure uses interchangeable expressions, optional accessories and a dedicated stand to recreate multiple anime scenes.
• Effect Parts: Transparent elements such as the Roboco Cannon can add visual energy without requiring a full premium-scale figure.
• Hand-Finished Paint: Good Smile Company notes that its figure paint process includes handwork, so small variations can occur between authentic Nendoroid units.
• Acrylic Printing: Me & Roboco acrylic goods depend heavily on sharp facial reproduction because exaggerated character expressions are often the primary design element. Clean printing, transparent material and secure bases are therefore important quality points.
• Multiverse Artwork Accuracy: Movie merchandise should reproduce each alternate Roboco’s intentionally different genre style rather than making all versions look like the standard TV character.
• Trading Card Condition: UNION ARENA collectors should check card number, rarity, foil treatment, edges, corners and surface condition, particularly for promotional or event cards.
• Manga Condition: For physical Jump Comics collecting, cover fading, spine creasing, obi presence, bookstore bonuses and first-print condition may matter more than they would for ordinary reading copies.
• Plush Construction: Small mascot plushies rely on embroidery placement, simplified hair shapes and recognizable costume colors because there is limited space for detailed character features.
• Movie Bonus Completeness: Theater cards, admission bonuses and special packs may originally have been distributed separately from standard retail merchandise, so buyers should verify exactly which bonus is included.
• Authenticity Checks: Collectors should look for the appropriate Shuhei Miyazaki/Shueisha and anime-production copyright information together with manufacturer branding, JAN codes where applicable, official character artwork and original product specifications.
