20 Minutes into the Future, humanity has developed artificial intelligence to make their lives easier. Housekeeping, management of small businesses and caretaking are handled by androids known as Human Interface Elements, or hIE. Arato Endo's life takes a sudden change turn to the unexpected when he meets Lacia, a female combat-oriented hIE who escaped from a research facility alongside her sisters. After Lacia saves his life, Arato is forced to become her owner.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This sci-fi story, which focuses on some philosophical considerations of artificial intelligence and humanity, set amidst a plot with action and romance elements, began as a serial novel published in 2012. Later, related manga works were published, including Beatless: Dystopia and Ptolemy's Singularity, and most recently, a two-cour anime series was released in 2018. (The release of the anime series was a little messed up, resulting in including four recap episodes and then a delayed four-episode finale, but at least now you can watch it without waiting.) An official translation of the novel series is currently underway; the portion that has been translated is available online at Tokyo Otaku Mode, though you need a subscription to read past the first chapter.

Big Eater: Yuka has got quite the appetite, and warms up immediately to Lacia once the hIE confirms she can cook.

Boy Meets Girl: Arato and Lacia's meeting in a nutshell. This trope name is explicitly invoked in-universe, too, in the form of a fashion company's marketing idea. Curiously, though, the novel's chapter names and anime's episode names play with this trope — one of the episodes involving the fashion marketing campaign is "Boy Meets Pornography", while "Boy Meets Girl" is actually the name of the very last episode; both titles are meaningful with regards to the context and the narrative structure of the story.

Beware the Nice Ones: As kind as Arato normally is, he's capable of beating the tar out of a kidnapper who took Lacia. Lacia, because she's perfectly capable of trying to execute someone that threatens her or her owners.
