Here’s an overview of the series, via Crunchyroll:
Former martial arts legend Marie has accepted a new job as a “mechanical maid”… except she’s 100% human, and Arthur, her new boss, despises humans. Luckily, Marie’s naturally expressionless face helps her keep up the robot act while secretly protecting Arthur from constant assassination attempts. But when Arthur falls in love with his “perfect” maid, things quickly spiral out of control!
