[edit]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-worker 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 an android for sex, Nadeko. Mortified about her purchase upon sobering up the next day, Akane finds she cannot return Nadeko or tell her co-workers as it may cause her to lose her job. And so Akane and Nadeko begin an unusual cohabitation.

Reception
[edit]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."[11]
Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android? was featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga for 2023 and 2024.[12]
