Rating: Summary: Too much emphasis on the bunny manga Review: My only complaint is Hideki is just a tad too clueless. One of the big plot revelations in this volume is something I had figured out back in volume 3. Also, this volume seemed to concentrate too much on the book with in a book.
Rating: 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: 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: Summary: Engaging, but no surprises Review: This series is a very entertaining series. It's funny, and intriguing. I recommend you try to read all of it.I would imagine that reading the whole series all the way through is the only way to really enjoy it, because each volume changes its central theme. The first two volumes were mostly romantic comedy, but after that, they start to skew away from that and turn into kind of a mystery and drama. This volume is particularly humorless, centered almost completely on the mystery and resolve of Chi's disappearance, and the effect she has on other persocoms when she's touched in her spot. There's also the mystery of what happened between Yumi and Ueda. The thing is, you know this is all going to happen. The thing with Yumi started in Volume 4, so you can probably guess it will be explained at least a little bit in this volume. And as for what Chi does, you saw that already in Volume 2. This volume is bland in that it's basically a bridge. It wraps up what happenned last volume and sets up for the next one. No new revelations are made, and nothing happens really to make this volume special. When every single volume is finally released, the obvious thing we need to do is we read them all in order non-stop, so it seems like one big story and not a bunch of little stories at varying quality.
Rating: 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: 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.
