Chobits Vol. 2

Rating:
Summary: Amazing
Review: This was the first in the series that I read. You really don't need to read the first one. It was very good and do recomand it. Only thing is that you have to be really mature, else don't even think about chobits. It is a really sweet story that makes you cry (it is for not only for the faint hearted though).

Summary: Better than the first
Review: When I started reading this series I wasn`t too fond of it at first. I liked the kind of dark science fiction element and it was generally entertaining, but I didn`t think the story was told all that well. The entire first volume gives you information that doesn`t seem very important at the time so the whole thing seems really uneventful.
However, I happened to buy the second one and read it out of boredom and found that the story really starts to get better at this point and the plot speeds up a lot. The first volume seems bland and empty in comparison to how intriguing the later volumes become. Eventually the storytelling gets a little deep, and very interesting questions are brought up about persocoms, the very human-like robot computers the story revolves around. Would it be right to create a machine that could make its own decisions? What makes people and machines different? If it`s okay to not consider the robots people because they don`t have real feelings, then what makes feelings real? And a question that Hideki wonders himself is, Why are the persocoms made to seem so human-like anyway? Which makes the reader wonder, If we had the technology to make things like persocoms, would we? It actually ends up being a very smart and deep story.
As well as making me think about a lot of things, this series is very entertaining because of its art. Clamp always delivers very impressively as far as art goes, and this series is no exception. I`m always amazed by Clamp`s creativity in character design and the clothes that the characters wear. (Then there`s when the characters are wearing nothing, which happens a lot in this series, as you should be warned. But even at those parts the art exceeds that of other manga.)
I would probably recommend this series to females, but I think some males could possibly enjoy it, too. If nudity would make you very uncomfortable you shouldn`t read this, even though most of the nudity happens in scenes that aren`t even necessarily sexual. Like all of Clamp`s manga that I`ve read this one is very addictive. After reading the first one you may not like it as much but after this one it gets a lot more interesting.

Summary: Chobits Vol. 2
Review: when i'd finished the fist book i knew i'd have to expect alot out of clamp, again. but then again, with most anime manga's, you have to expect alot, and they actually give it. with this book i was a bit more lienient in letting my younger sis read it. i still didn't let her, but i was a bit wore willing. then again she is 14 and it is defenatly an older teens' book.once i started reading it, i couldn't stop. although when anyone starts a book like this you have to set aside a hour or so just to read it. but hey, it is so worth the bit of time needed to read it. out of all of the series i've read, which is quite alot, this has got to be me very faviorte series. then again, when i got about a quarter of the way through the first, i was hooked beond anyone's help. i recogment this entire series, not to mention all of Clamp's work, to anyone 16 or over and with a rather mature nature because of hentai-like qualities.
