Housekeeper

Jan 15, 2021

Housekeeper is set in an alternate past, where Einstein helped advance technology at an expediated rate.  A young boy, with no real family of his own save a scientist he sells scrap to that he finds in the junkyard, finds an android one day.  He gets her fixed up, treats her like family, and when a seemingly zombie-like, mutating apocalypse descends in the year 1976, despite the programming fighting with her, she fights to still view him as Human and protect him against all odds with the hope of curing him.  As time passes, even if the world gives up on the infected, this AI refuses to do so, especially with signs that it may be possible.  Even if it takes her and her young master to the ends of the Earth. 

Warning: this is not entirely a 'feel good' story... it follows a BAMF AI through a zombie apocalypse... bad stuff happens.

While it has some cliches, and there are times you have to just suspend your disbelief due to ridiculous things at times, it's an original tale of its own and I'm enjoying every moment of it.  It's hard to predict at times, sometimes it's a bit childish and sometimes it's a bit too real, but the overall tone is very entertaining.  If you like zombies, androids, sci fi, fighting against the odds, etc.  I highly recommend this manhwa, and already have to my friends.

I am at a complete loss for why this isn't unbelievably popular.
