Summary: Answered Questions
Review: The biggest drawback of the Chobits series is that it shifts gears very early, and those of us who liked the first couple of volumes are put off by the last few volumes because of their large differences.

Chobits started out as a funny little story about a techno-dunce who just got a free persocom, a human like female computer, and has no idea how to use it. We laughed as the techno-dunce, Hideki, tried to understand his friends as they tried to help him get his persocom running. Hideki was awkward, confused, and often embarrased, and Chi, the computer, was cute and mysterious.

This stuff is put way off to the side at the beginning of volume three, to make room for more mystery, drama, romance, and suspense. Many people may be disappointed in how each volume contains less and less humor.

The thing is, what humor there is in the later volumes is the exact same humor we've seen in the earlier volumes.

But wait! Of course, Chobits is more than humor. There are some things to keep you going. Hideki is very easy to identify with for the average teen-aged boy, techno-savy and techno-idiot alike. And there is plenty of romance and mystery, although I do miss the comedy.

About Volume 6: The main purpose of this volume is to answer questions. We find out what Yumi's problem is with persocoms, and what her problem is with Ueda. We find out what one of the odd things about Chi's programming is, and we find out exactly who those mysterious people in black are, although their motives are still a bit fuzzy. All in all, Volume 6 moves the story along nicely.

Chobits is a good story full of mystery and romance, and contains trace amounts of humor.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: confused feelings
Review: The books is just like the other books. The story with Chi and Hideki continues. Hideki is starting to realize that Chi may actually be able to feel emotions. But it's unusual since persocoms aren't supposed to feel emotions unless they are programed to. Chi get kidnapped by someone who is really interested in Chobits. Hideki and Manager Ueda go looking for Chi. During their search, Mr. Ueda tells Hideki about his relationship with a persocom. Hideki is touched by his story and is determined to find Chi.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Team Rocket?
Review: The mysterious two characters (the ones I've been thinking of as Team Rocket in my head -- sorry about that) have been more or less explained. I'm sure that their importance won't be revealed until later in the series (probably after Vol. 7). I'm getting tired of Chi's neurotic "will I find the one for me?" It reminds me of Zathras' constant: "No -- he is not the one. Zathras know." If you've watched Babylon 5, you know what I mean.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 'happily ever after endings'
Review: This is the last volume of chobits. I was kind of disappointed by the ending, I mean it's so predictable! chi found the someoen just for her and yea. but all in all for the whole seires i would difinaly gave it a 5 star!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still good
Review: Volume 5 is just past the halfway point of the series. There are lots of on-going plot threads. Is Chi dangerous? Is Chi a chobits? What is a chobits? Are there other chobits? Who is writing the manga in the manga? Etc. etc.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Closing in on the ending
Review: With only two books left, there isn't much time to wrap up all the threads introduced through the series. I think too much time was spent on the manga in the manga. More should have been spent on Chi's background.
