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.

Chobits is quite the ride, 7/10 is a generous rating. The first 30 chapters are frankly, awful. The characters are boring, it's stuffed to the brim with unecessary sexualized humour (lit seems the publishers were convinced no one would read this unless Chii was initally marketed to the reader as a sex bot? It was so hard to take seriously), and the plot goes absolutely no where for some time.

It takes nearly half the series for Chobits to reveal its value and explore the heart of the manga. I think Chobits had some interesting ideas: the theme of loving people (or persocoms) for what ...

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 ...
