RACS says that Indian Summer (originally "Koharu Biyori") has come into stock. From the description, it's kind of a bastardized version of Hand Maid May except shorter, with a creep for a guy in the middle, and no really important story to speak of. Pretty much it's a guy who gets a robot maid and instead of letting her do her job he uses her as a cosplay fetish model. Then a bunch of other robots show up.

The good news? The girls are cute and round. The art style is more like Ninja Nonsense than Marimite. Also there are two mikos. Harem shows are always improved by having mikos around. (Everything is improved by mikos.)

The bad news? From the description, I'm getting "Hand Maid Mei" vibes, which was a vague ripoff of the original HMM (and not very similar). In that one the guy was cruel to the robot girls, and they cry. I haven't seen it and have not the slightest urge to do so.

In that one the bastard guy in the middle uses his robot girls to make porn. In Indian Summer he apparently uses his robot maid to enter cosplay contests, which ain't quite as cruel, but still bothers me. I don't like cruelty.

It's cheap and I'll probably include it in my next buy, whenever that may be, but I suspect that the only thing it will be good for is top rotation pictures, the way High School Girls was.
