Synopsis

After enduring four years of high school, Hideki Motosuwa strives to get into the university of his choice by attending cram school in Tokyo. Concurrently, he works daily shifts at a bar to make ends meet, thus missing out on the world's latest invention—human-like computers called Persocoms. Longing for a persocom of his own, Hideki is met with a stroke of luck when he stumbles upon a cute abandoned persocom in a garbage pile.

Upon finding the power button, Hideki finds his newfound robot to be faulty and only capable of uttering the word "Chii"—which Hideki decides to name her after. Chii, however, is no ordinary persocom: capable of thinking and learning on her own, she is a legendary type of robot known as a Chobit. Now, it is up to Hideki to teach Chii how to live an ordinary life and to uncover the truth behind the elusive chobits series.

Mixed Feelings
The premise is great and, at first, the story feels quite unique, in my opinion, and it does have a bit of that mature air that I simply love but I also feel like it evaporates with each volume.


Since the first thing you see is art, that's what I will touch on first too—it's very good, I enjoyed the visual part a lot; the backgrounds, the expressions and the general layout are clean and convey what they need to.


Now, for the characters, the male protagonist, Hideki, is... not unlikeable. He doesn't really stand out as a main character and he does feel plain to the ...

Preliminary (31/88 eps)
Story - Poor guy finds a sexbot. That just about sums it up. There's something about the sexbot being some kind of weapon but I couldn't figure it out. Along the way people tell Hideki that a sexbot is not an alternative for a real human being, which I agree with, but Hideki apparently doesn't get it. The pacing is so slow it's not even funny. After about 8 hours of reading I finally gave up. I didn't find anything particularly funny. Maybe Hideki's virginity was supposed to be a joke? I didn't find it funny. Everyone makes fun of Hideki's virginity as if it's ...
