Chobits Volume 6

by CLAMP

Book Overview

For most people, persocoms represent technology at its finest - after all, they can do anything you program them to and they make great looking companions. But for Yumi Oumura, persocoms bring out her deepest insecurities, and not without reason. Just as people once became addicted to their computers, many people are now addicted to their persocoms to the exclusion of other human beings.

Chobits vol.7 is the precurser to the end of Chobits. It is a great volume of epic preportions,and since I know Chobits backwards and fowards,I can easily say it is one of best volumes in the series.You learn more about Chi's dark past,and Hideki's love for her is about to be put to the ultimate test!You need to buy this if you've read the rest of the series. If you haven't...GO BUY THE REST OF IT!!!IT ROCKS!!!!!!!

whoa..

I have never seen such a marvelous book. This story continues the hit series about Hideki and his persocom Chi. Though it has SOME nudity it is still unsurpassed. If this was a novel it'll be a classic. If Chobits is a porno, the Titanic would be a 5-star adult film.

great series for the open mind

The nice thing about CLAMP is that they have a deft hand when it comes in interpersonal relationships. How "evolved" can machines get? Where will things go from here? Great lines, well thought-out plots, and a fair warning of what age this is suited for all make this a fine addition to your collection or (for you other Librarians out there) your public library. I have added this to our Graphic Novel collection, and will continue to buy. This wonderful series raises some serious philosophical questions about what constitutes human, where technology will lead us, and how dependant we should be on machines. It is worthy of a second look even if you're not into "Graphic Novels" per se' Innovative High School and College teachers could incorporate this into their curriculum, particularly if they are discussing Sociology or Psychology.I find it a delight to read and a gem to own. Having said that, I find it sad that the seriously negative feedback on this title stems from the sexual content....and yet the violence in any other series is accepted without any qualms. Not all graphic novels are for children. It clearly states the age this is geared for on the back of the book. I would not hand an 8 year old this book (they wouldn't get most if it anyway) nor would I hand a copy of "The Crow" to your average 11 year old. A little common sense goes a long way with this sort of book, and the public needs to be educated about Graphic Novels in general and Anime in particular.

Long-withheld revelations ....

First off, I want to say that I think this series is one of Clamp's best. The team is great at building suspense, and in the seventh volume, the secrets of Chi's origins are finally revealed. However, there's still no resolution in sight; though Hideki finally has come to realize his feelings toward Chi, by the end of this volume, a major confrontation with Zima and Dita (the persocom housing the national databank and his 'com protector)has been set up, and he may never get the chance to tell her that she is his "special someone".... The visuals in this series are beautiful, though there are some gratuitous "fanservice" frames of Chi in various states of undress, as in the other volumes, and the images in the final two pages are a little confusing (HEY? What just happened? Did ANYTHING happen yet?). Overall, it's a satisfying read that answers many of the questions the previous volumes posed, and a fun addition to the collection of any otaku, especially fans of Clamp.
