Episode 1: "How do you do?"
Kazuya Saotome dreams of building a mini-robot named Ikariya, or "Squid-bot" as Kasumi, his cute tomboy neighbor, affectionately calls it. So focused is he that he stays up all night working on Ikariya and, consequently, sleeps through his introductory photonics exam the next morning. His snoring during the exam incurs the wrath of the noisy and flamboyant Kutaro Nanbara, Kazuya's "best friend and greatest rival." As revenge, Nanbara presents to Kazuya his Super Deluxe disk promising great things, but in reality the disk harbors a nasty computer virus. The virus fails to work, however, and instead links Kazuya to a mysterious website where he unwittingly orders May, a cheerful one-foot tall cyborg maid. May quickly endears herself to her new master, but, just as quickly, wears out her battery. To save May from permanently going into sleep mode, Kazuya decides to hack her USB input cable into her battery pack ... but finding her USB port is the tricky part.
Episode 2: "Am I Any Use At All?"
May wants to do her best for her new master, but Kazuya tells her she absolutely must not leave the house because it would be too dangerous for someone her size. Staying at home turns out to be just as dangerous when Nanbara shows up uninvited and kidnaps May with the intent of passing her off as his own invention. And as though Nanbara wasn't enough, Cyberdoll Sara from Cyberdyne's customer service department arrives to collect the $1,450,000 invoice on May. Fortunately, Kasumi saves May (and Kazuya's apartment) from Nanbara and Sara when she stops by to drop off a small package for Kazuya. Determined to prove her usefulness, May ventures outside to deliver Kasumi's package, now pursued by a Nanbara/Sara team-up.
Episode 3: "What Should I Do?"
Sara reveals the new May retrieval plan to Nanbara: calculations prove Kazuya is gutless around women. Therefore a new female cyberdoll fashioned after Kazuya's taste will approach him and simply ask for the doll's return. Nanbara and Sara shadow Kazuya and May on a shopping outing as one girl after another remarks how she'd like to take May home with her. The retrieval cyberdoll eventually reveals herself in the form of Rena, a 9-year old whose cuteness is only outmatched by her deafening wail. But Rena decides playing with Ikariya the squid-bot is more fun than returning with May.
Episode 4: "Please Don't Look!"
A fourth cyberdoll bounds into the cast. Kei is another retrieval cyberdoll sent by Cyberdyne, armed this time with every bit of known physical and mathematical information input into her memory. This allows her to predict Kazuya's every step 300,000 moves ahead of him. Posing as a fellow robotics aficionado, Kei tries to convince Kazuya to dismantle May and find out how she operates. But Kei herself is surprised when she discovers May's evolving M.A.I.D. program has given her a complete understanding of her master. Kei resigns from Nanbara and Sara's employ to study May (and a suddenly more interesting Kazuya) for an extended period of time.
