Chobits, Vol. 4(2001)

Clamp

Computers can do almost anything these days. In addition to the usual online functions, data processing, and graphic applications, the new persocom models with increased AI and increasingly human appearances can function as workers, friends...even lovers. Take Chi, for example. Since Hideki found her she has learned to go shopping, do basic chores, and she's even managed to get a job at a bakery. She's not the first persocom to do these things by any means, but her potential hasn't even begun to be tapped. Because there's a good chance that Chi is a Chobit - a self-learning, feeling, AI. Chobits are the computers of legend, so rare that is one was found some collectors would resort to any means to get their hands on one - even kidnapping. Now that word of Chi has leaked out, that's exactly what happens.
