Artificial Girls/2001 Titles

Suguru is a young man with problems many others his age just might kill to have. An orphan, he lives on his own, but his housekeeping skills are so poor that it's becoming painfully obvious that he needs help. Enter Mahoro, an incredibly cute 19 year old who offers to be Suguru's maid. Possessing some superhuman abilities and claiming to be an android, Mahoro elicits some suspicion from Suguru's friends and causes him some grief, but he can't say no to a girl who looks like her and cleans so well. Unfortunately, Suguru has no idea that Mahoro is scheduled to live for only another 398 days and has some secret reasons for choosing him as an employer.
