I love Clamp manga, my favorite being xxxHolic but just about any of their stuff is interesting, interesting enough to allow many re-reads and this is my 3rd or 4th time reading this series. ( )

Hideki Motosuwa finds a personal computer, in human form, in the trash. He was excited since he could never aford one himself, and the fact it seems she is custom made. The only word it can say at first is Chi. He teaches her words and the world since she is childlike. There is a book in the book that mirrors what is happening. ( )

borders on the pornographic. Will not be reading any more.

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. ( )
