Cute, but meh.

The premise of a doll/figure collector who likes to play dress up buying a life-size maid doll to serve his (dress-up) urges sounds hilarious on the surface, but the chapters felt disconnected making things feel jarring. The only thing that stayed the same through all the chapters was pervy comments, oddly innocuous sounding innuendo, and Yui (the maid robot) not liking the fact of having to dress up, being an object of her owner's fantasy and saying how it's not right that other girls pay attention him showing her jealousy and feelings for him while at the same time berating him for his fantasies. My favorite part was the bonus chapter at the end giving back story and extras explaining a bit of the couple and their friends' lives, I felt like I understood the story a bit better, and the jumpiness of the chapters made a bit more sense. The humor is decent, but a little overbearing at times since Yui always complained about the joke, making it the same more serious than it was. The art was okay, it was done in "moe" style, so I had a hard time keeping track of certain characters at times. All in all, it was OK. I don't feel like I've wasted my time reading it, but it's not something I would pick up again anytime soon.
