Hideo Ozu is an editor in a shady adult video company. For years, he has dreamed of being a motion picture director while his childhood friend Mai Kurosawa has become an upcoming actress. Then one day, his dreams are shattered when Mai takes all of his amateur videos of her and tells him to get out of her life. On his way home after a few drinks, Hideo bumps into Cyberdoll Sara, who makes him mark an invoice. When he arrives at his pad, Hideo is greeted by three Cyberdolls - Mai, Ai and Mie. All three of them happen to look like different age variations of Mai Kurosawa. And when Kurosawa announces the release of a biography video of her using Hideo's old footage, Hideo decides to start his directing dreams over again using his three Cyberdolls.

Where it came from
Hand Maid Mai was released in 2003 as a three-episode original video animation series, serving as a spiritual successor to the 2000 series Hand Maid May. Produced by Lantis and animated by Trinet Entertainment, the project emerged during a period of experimentation within the 'maid' subgenre of anime, focusing on themes of artificial intelligence, companionship, and the integration of technology into domestic life.
The series was designed to explore the lighthearted, often humorous dynamics between human protagonists and their robotic counterparts. While it inherited the aesthetic sensibilities of the earlier series, it aimed to offer a distinct narrative path, though it received a mixed reception from viewers who often compared it to its predecessor's more defined character arcs and thematic consistency.
