As mentioned earlier, the anime "My Wife Has No Emotion" will be based on Jiro Sugiura's manga series. The story revolves around Takuma, a single man whose daily routine consists of going to work and coming back home. Feeling exhausted from household tasks, he decides to purchase a robot named Mina-chan to help with cleaning the house.

Impressed by Mina-chan's efficiency in housekeeping, Takuma jokingly suggests that the robot should be his wife. To his surprise, Mina-chan takes the joke seriously and they begin to spend more time together, even going on a picnic. Over time, Takuma finds himself developing feelings for Mina, despite knowing that she is not a human but a robot.
