It had potential but I couldn't get over the location of Chi's on-switch. >_ ( )

This is a great story of people and computer-robots that look like people called persocoms. There are many complexities among the relationships between humans and persocoms. What is next for Hideki, the college student, and his unusual persocom, Chi? ( )

Although highly acclaimed, I was not a big fan of the first Chobits, and wouldn't consider reading the series. I disliked the characters from the offset and found the story a bit perverse! ( )

Hideki is a college student, struggling to make ends meet and more than anything wishes he was able to afford a persocom android to make his life easier. As luck would have it Hideki stumbles upon a persocom which was apparently thrown out with the trash. At first Hideki is sure fate has tricked him as "Chi" (the persocom) doesn't appear to have any sort of operating system or programing. However, soon Hideki begins to expect that instead of a mere persocom he may have found a Chobit, a super-computer capable of teaching herself.

I very much enjoyed this manga. Chi is absolutely adorable and Hideki's constant flux between trying to be decent and fighting his baser urges is comical. In comparison with other mangas I have read the story was exceptionally easy to follow and the artwork, especially of the persocoms, is simply beautiful. Some of the subject matter is a little on the more mature side and I certainly agree with the "Older Teen" rating for this manga. Other than that I would highly recommend this story! ( )

Very cute series, was fun looking for references to computers in the body of the work. Perhaps dates this series though as well. Had very likeable characters, story was a bit confusing and has an ending that is.. a little disappointing. I felt like the ending was rushed and too abrupt. ( )
