For most people, having one's own mecha sounds like a dream come true. So when Eiji's father builds him his own girl mecha to help around the house, he thinks life is about to take a turn down easy street. Unfortunately for Eiji, his eccentric father isn't about to make it that easy, and his new mecha girl seems to have a mind of her own - one that doesn't necessarily take to doing what she's told. Will Akira-chan prove to help Eiji's life, make it more complicated, or a little bit of both?
