If I'm not mistaken--i need to rewatch and read the series--the anime diverged from the manga. If you remember the episode with the creepy peek show, Freya(?) tells Chi that only the person just for her can touch her there so it follows (in the anime anyway) that the two of them can get it now.

The message was pretty clear after she bought the second edition, but the scenes in the anime where it was read is what firghtened me. I think ti was the song that played and the solemn voice she used when she read it.

I LOOOOOOVE CHOBITS! It's really funny and cute both at the same time! I'm currently watching this series on DVD lately as I have the complete box set and will be making a start on volume 3 soon :)

I also want to find the time to be able to buy and read all 8 volumes of the manga to this series aswell, as I knew I'd thoroughyly enjoy it as I'm such a big fan of all CLAMP manga/anime anyway

chobits was a cute series.. kinda confusing at times, but cute nonetheless ^^

Basically this is it [i only know a little im on book 3]

anime: Hideki moves from a poor farm to tokyo and finds people having robots called persocons. They are robots designed to look like people. He one day finds a persocon in the trash and brings it home. He turns it on which the switch is on her crotch. Als she says is Chii and her name is chii. she is a chobits which is a special persocon. hideki falls in love with chii and he teaches her some things in life like talking and shopping.

I'm currently up to volume 6 of the 8 volumes of the Chobits manga and volume 3 of the 6 volumes of the DVD anime and I'm throughly enjoying every minute of it :)
