Just a quick review.

It's a pure gag manga and doesn't do things like ecchi, one-punch man esque fighting, romance, moe or other things like that. Just focusing on jokes and parodies with pretty unique characters. Honestly as I browse manga, I find this type really is a rarity so I'd highly recommend it. The fact that it's so lowly rated is just disgraceful and misleading.

It also doesn't have some plotline that they are forced to go through with so I don't see them pigeonholing themselves in future chapters. So far every chapter has been enjoyable by itself and I really hope it can keep ... running for a lot more chapters.

I've read many comic manga in my life time , however I'm unsure why this manga makes me actually laugh out loud. It's recommended to have knowledge on Jump references to read this and find this quality gag.
At first It gave me Doraemon vibes, which could be why I'm more attached to it. Whenever I feel like poop, I just read this bad boy and it makes me feel better, so to me this series personally for me is 9/10. Everyone's got different opinions and this is mine. Give this a try if you want a laugh and you like Jump series.

It's unfortunate people don't seem to like this much. Roboco might just be the funniest manga I've ever read. I was skeptical when it was first released and had ugly Roboco versions of all the Jump characters plastered all over the Jump website. It looked stupid and amateurish, who'd want to read that? But, I decided not to judge a book by its cover and found myself pleasantly surprised.

Everyone wants a cute waifu maid to serve them and call them "master". Roboco goes against the grain and gives us a strong, overweight maid that's incompetent at basic house chores and filled with contempt for anything ... that stands in her way. She generally likes reading manga, gaming, and hanging out. What's not to like?

I feel the quality is dropping a little beyond chapter 40, but I can safely say the first 30 chapters at least gave me one good laugh each. Not just a small half-chuckle, but a real laugh. Newer chapters are still funny, but I don't think they've brought me to tears lately.

Roboco has some small gags and references to other anime/manga/video games peppered throughout each chapter, but typically the whole chapter is just a setup for one big punchline - and I find it is often delivered well. The relationship Bondo shares with his friends, as well as Gachi's face itself, is always a hoot. It's also amusing to see Roboco frequently abusing Gachi, especially since he's just a small, ugly child while she's a big, strong adult with DBZ-tier strength.
