Summary:
Due to a deep trauma at school Sakurada Jun has refused to return. He spends his time in his room, surfing the web and ordering anything that takes his fancy, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he finds a web site that tells him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so thinking it to be a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange package arrives soon afterwards. It contains an exquisite doll, that, when wound, comes to life. She treats him as a servant of little worth, but over time helps him come to grips with his fears and in the life-or-death fights that soon follow her arrival.

First to correct one of the other reviewers who said this was shoujo anime; it's not shoujo, its seinen.
Now that aside, this is a really great anime with an excellent concept, characters, and story. Despite all the comedy and cute characters, there are actually a lot of very deep and complex emotional moments, and it explores several different deep and complicated life issues. Very good if you enjoy animes with characters who are far from perfect and are trying to work out their internal conflicts and such.
Though in order to really enjoy it, you need to watch all of both seasons and the OVAs. Just season 1 on its own is alright, but nowhere near as good as the entire set.
