Sexy Voice and Robo (セクシーボイスアンドロボ) is a manga-based Japanese drama. The drama was very different from the manga, but for the most part had the same idea.
Plot
Follows a 14-old girl (codename: Sexy Voice) and her partner (codename: Robo) on various spy missions. They call themselves spies, but the show is really a slice of life comedy/drama. The adventures usually resolve themselves with the protagonists learning something important about themselves and the people involved at the end.
