Genre: Drama/Romance/Science Fiction
Synopsis:
In the near future, personal computers take the form of attractive
women, called Persocons. Motosuwa Hideki is a poor student who failed
his entrance exams to get into college. So, Hideki is forced to move to
the city, get a job, and attend cram school in hopes of passing the
next college entrance exam. He of course wants a Persocon for himself,
but is way too poor to afford one. One day, while passing a building,
he finds a Persocon in a trash heap. However, his new find doesn’t seem
to be like the others he’s heard about. She doesn’t seem to have any
operating system at all, and only says “Chii”. As Hideki learns more
about his Persocon (aptly named “Chii”), he finds out that she is not
of any known type, and most likely some sort of homemade model. He also
learns of the rumor of the “Chobits”, Persocons with the ability to
think for themselves, instead of running only complex programs. Find
out what happens between Hideki and his new Persocon, as she learns
more about her environment, people, and life.
