At first glance, it may seem like it's being serialized in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic, but it's actually being serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, and it's been decided that Bokuto Roboco will be broadcast as a 5-minute late-night anime! There are many parodies and homages throughout, and the overall structure is very similar to Doraemon. I'd like to introduce the characters of Bokuto Roboco!
Character 1: Ordinary Person
The main character of Bokuto Roboco. In Doraemon, he's Nobita, a fifth-grader with glasses. Now, every household has an android, but his family doesn't have a custom-made android because they are poor. Because of this, his friends don't bully him... but on the contrary, they are kind to him and he feels pressured. He is a basically good person and is loved by his friends. His favorite food is Alfort, and his purpose in life is reading Weekly Shonen Jump. Maybe because of this, he becomes a wreck when the combined issue of Jump is not released in the week.
Character No. 2 Roboco
A custom-made robot arrives at Bond's house. All the custom-made robots are cute, but Roboco looks muscular, has a unique face, and has nappa knees. As a custom-made item, she is a total failure at cooking and housework, and as a result of her constant returns, whenever she hears the word "return," she is traumatized and expresses her hatred for humans. In Doraemon terms, she is a Doraemon, but as a custom-made item, she is a total failure. However, her fighting ability is very high. She also has a very high desire for self-expression and recognition, making her the most human-like character of all. Also, if she uses up too much energy, she turns into a beautiful girl, and is able to do housework and cleaning normally.
Character No. 3: Gachi Gorilla
Bond's friend. In Doraemon terms, she is a Gian. His behavior is certainly similar to Gian, but contrary to his appearance and behavior, he is a saint who cares for his friends and family. That is why he has a strong friendship with Bond, who is Nobita's character, and Motsuo, who is Suneo's character. He is also the eldest of five siblings, and often puts his body on the line for his family. Although he is a gorilla with a saintly character, his usual behavior makes him seem like a bully, so he is considered a bad boy by those around him. His name makes him seem more like the Butagorilla from Kiteretsu Encyclopedia than Gian.
Character No. 4: Kanao Motsuo
A friend of Bond. In Doraemon, he is the Suneo type. His behavior of showing off to the rich and his lackey behavior of Gachi Gorilla are similar to Suneo, but in reality, he is a saint who cares for his friends and his custom-made Meiko. He received strict special education from his father, and attends the same school as Bond and Gachi Gorilla on the condition that he continues to get first place in national mock exams. He is similar to Rei from The Promised Neverland.
Character No. 5: Meiko
Motsuo's ultra-high-performance custom-made. In addition to being flawless and perfect as a custom-made product with the latest technology, it seems to have an ego that is almost comparable to that of a human. Motsuo's family has a strict policy of replacing custom-made clothes with the latest models every six months, but she has a strong admiration for Motsuo, who treasures even outdated custom-made clothes, and acts to help him.
Character No. 6: Yen Chuwan
Bond's classmate. In Doraemon terms, she is Shizuka-chan. She is like the Madonna of the class, a beautiful girl with high specs who also works as a reader model, and is an object of Bond's admiration. She is very good at board games, and in the past she was so strong that she was nicknamed "Mad Queen of Board Games" on the Internet, but her parents have banned her from playing them because when she competes, her drawing changes to the face of a legendary gambler or a legendary gambler. However, there are other scenes where her drawing changes.
Character No. 7: Ruri Gachi
Gachi Gorilla's younger sister. In Doraemon, she is the Jaiko character, but she is a beautiful girl who looks nothing like Jaiko except for her clothes. Her trademark is a beret, and she aspires to be a manga artist because she admires One Piece. She falls in love with Bond after he praises her first manga, and becomes Roboco's apprentice.
Character No. 8: Bond's Mom
Bond's mom. In Doraemon, she is Nobita's mom. She carries a knife even in scenes that have nothing to do with cooking. Compared to the original, she is not a toxic parent, but a very normal, kind mom. However, she is sensitive to any erotic atmosphere (TO LOVE-ru darkness) that comes over Bond and appears. According to her mom, darkness is no good, but the Ayakashi Triangle is OK.
Character No. 9: Akane Urahara
Bond's classmate. There is no character that corresponds to Doraemon, and she is an original character of Boku to Roboco. She is a boyish girl, and has developed a liking for Gachi Gorilla since noticing his kindness. She considers Bond, who is close to Gachi Gorilla, to be a rival. She is also interested in black magic and can actually use it.
Character No. 10: Mifune Chizuru
A slightly delinquent-like male student who transferred to Bond's class. He is a so-called esper, and because he has the ability to read people's minds, he has become distrustful of people, but he gets along with Bond, who is completely honest, and Motsuo, a gorilla who looks and acts like a bad boy but is actually a saint inside. There is no character that corresponds to Doraemon, but in terms of Jump-related characters, there is Kusuo Saiki from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. and Shin from SAKAMOTODAYS.
Character ⑪ Motesugi Shun
A handsome classmate in Bond's class. He is good at both studying and sports, and rarely comes to school because he usually works as a child actor. Her mother is a rare toxic parent in this work, where only good people are present, and she spent her days unable to read manga, play games, or go out to play. In Doraemon, he is like Dekisugi-kun, but due to various reasons, he has feelings for Bond that go beyond those of a friendly classmate.
Character No. 12: Professor Kobayashi
A teacher who looks just like Kendo Kobayashi. In fact, he is a guest character created by a TV project, and has appeared regularly since then. What will happen to the voice actor if it becomes an anime?
【Me and Roboco】Character Summary
I've put together a list of characters that appear in Me and Roboco! The composition is similar to the characters in Doraemon, but the characters' personalities are almost the opposite, like Doraemon in a world line where something happened. There are a lot of parodies, but the fact that there are no dark developments makes it a work that you can watch with peace of mind. The anime is also a 5-minute segment, so please give it a watch!
