Plot
Maico is Japan's newest radio DJ. When she is not working, she must stave off assassins, crazed fans and a couple of office workers as well. She believes she was created just to be the perfect DJ. What she does not know is that she is really a sexdroid — a robot specifically designed for sexual intercourse. However, her creator Otari Masudamasu wanted her to be as close to humans as possible and not a sex toy. Maico has never had sexual intercourse and is shy at times. She constantly learns about love and matters of the heart. She later meets another sexdroid Rei, Masudamasu's first android, who is designed to be like her late sister. After saving her from her evil controllers, who only used her to try to destroy Maico as a sex toy, she and Maico become crime fighting DJs called Cherry-Bombs. The anime version differs from the manga, in that it has fewer sexual themes, and no crime fighting involved. Also, there is no mention of her being a sexdroid, and Rei is never introduced.Characters
