Synopsis

Akane Tsuda is a 28-year-old office worker in the planning department of a major electronics manufacturer. At her job, she is respected by her co-workers as being well organized and one of the most hard working in their department, but in her personal life, her room is a mess, she has a bad drinking habit, and she has never had a boyfriend. One day, in a fit of drunkenness and loneliness, she buys a sex robot named Nadeshiko. Mortified about her purchase upon sobering up the next day, Akane finds she cannot return Nadeshiko or tell her co-workers as it may cause her to lose her job. And so Akane and Nadeshiko begin an unusual cohabitation.

Reception

Matt Marcus, a staff writer at Okazu, gave the series an overall 8 out of 10, noting that "The premise is so nakedly (ha) transparent in its aims that even when a gag is eye-rollingly contrived [...] I find myself unable to find it distasteful." He further praised Casper Kazor's work on the localization, "there are a lot of really fun little turns of phrase that got me chortling."[17]

Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android? was featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga for 2023 and 2024.[18]
