Actress Kasume Hasegawa stars in the titular role in a new web CM for Ponkotsu Ponko, a seinen manga by Keita Yatera about a clumsy robot maid who is hired to keep an elderly man company after his wife passes away.
A slapstick comedy, the story of Ponkotsu Ponko follows Yoshioka, an old man who is determined to live out the rest of his days quietly after his wife passes away.
Yoshioka’s plans change quite a bit with the arrival of Ponko, a companionship robot designed to keep Yoshioka company and act as a housekeeper.
