Story Intro:
Hideki's just like every other guy in the 22nd century. He just wants a good job, a good car, and a sexy robot girlfriend to call his own. Until he lands a job, he'll never be able to afford his own 'Persocon' companion. Hideki's luck changes when he discovers Chii, an adorable but dyfunctional personcon (robot), tied up in a pile of trash. His first robot companion turns out to be a lot more responsibility than he expected, and she gets him into quite a few embarrassing situations. It's 'boy-meets-girl' for the cyber age.

Maybe she thought you just like half-nude mummies.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

She would not be wrong in that assumption.

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe she wants to tentacle rape you

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe she thinks you'd like girly anime cuz yr a girlyman!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe she's a robot

OMG that guy in the Chobits drag is scary.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

She would not be wrong in that assumption.

So the ultimate NPC for Jon's character to face in a D&D game would be a nereid lich.

From the Publisher
CLAMP is an all-female team and one of the hottest groups of manga creators in Japan today. Credited with bridging the gap between male and female comic fans, CLAMP has many other series to their credit, including X, Clover, as well as Magic Knight Rayearth followed fanatically by readers wherever they're available

Product Description:
Hideki is your typical 20-year-old slacker. He didn`t get into college straight out of high school, so he`s working a dead-end job, can`t find a girlfriend, and is perpetually broke. If only he had a persocon - a humanoid robot - to keep him company, perhaps things wouldn`t be so bad. The problem with persocons is they are incredibly expensive, and it would take Hideki a lifetime to afford one. Then, one day Hideki finds a particularly cute female persocon dumped in a pile of trash, so he decides to take her home. As they say, one man`s trash is another man`s treasure...

The latest series from the female artists' studio Clamp (X, Cardcaptor Sakura) is another tale about a geeky guy who meets a lovely, submissive female android, in the Hand Maid May/Steel Angel Kurumi mold. Maladroit 18-year-old Hideki Motosuwa leaves his family's farm in Hokkaido to attend prep school in Tokyo. Hideki is a pleasant, somewhat hysterical character who falls in love with every girl he sees. When he arrives in the city, he discovers Persocoms (female robots), but can't afford one. He conveniently finds a very cute one in a trash heap, but she can only say "Chi." Hideki's neighbor Hiromu and his whiz-kid friend Minoru say Chi may be a Chobit, a super-Persocom they thought was just an urban legend. Chi is blank-faced and utterly passive, and American audiences may wonder why women artists would continue this sexist genre.

One thing, if Hideke,the main character, isn't keeping his perpetual erection under tow, he's taking care of his constant bloody nose.

"...the bloody nose in manga and anime is associated almost exclusively with men looking at scantily clad and undressed women."
