Chobits, Vol. 3 Reviews
-
Re-read 2021: And so things get even more exciting and things get twisty and turny. We meet new people who may not be too good (though I remember that I loved their relationship and their clothes). We get some more questions and one answer (which was a big shock to Hideki). I loved that Chi found a job and is very eager to show she can do it. Plus, she looks adorable. I loved what she bought with her first money (though haha, I can only imagine the looks of people in the store). There is lot of emotions in this one and I wonder if Hideki truly understands what Chi is going through, given how he feels about persocoms...
My heart broke for the teacher, while I am very much against cheating, I guess I can understand this situation and I even wonder if the husband knows his wife is gone. Given the lock.. I guess not. I am glad she has Shimbo though and I hope she finds trust again.
I had such a laugh at Shimbo's laptop who is now living with Hideki. Haha, Hideki is definitely not too eager about how happy she is in the mornings. XD
And of course new picture books, tons of philosophical questions, and more. I cannot wait to continue. -
Me sigue teniendo enganchada queriendo saber más he ido corriendo a la biblioteca a por los siguientes para saber que pasa con la trama, yo sin lugar a dudas la recomiendo
-
I can see it going deeper into the morality and idea of human-robot relationships, and I wish in upcoming volumes, they'd go even deeper into that!
and I just LOVE Plum! <3 -
God I just want Chi to be happy

4.5/5

Okay, even the characters in the manga acknowledge that the whole idea of people owning personal computers that look and act like humans is rather odd, and are starting to wonder how it all started. I'm thinking we'll have an answer to this question by the end of the series, though how much sense it will make is open to debate.
Chi is really sweet, and Hideki is a really nice guy when he's not all flustered about something. There are definitely mysteries about Chi’s past, and two grim-looking people--one or both could be persocoms I suppose--seem to be hunting for her. Hideki’s landlady is definitely more than she appears to be …
Still liking this series. Recommended! -

This review will be for Chapters 25 - 36 in the
Chobits: Omnibus, Vol. 1 omnibus edition.
Original Review - March 6th, 2013 (Rating: 4) :
Well that escalated quickly (!) but then didn't.
Then just as Hideki recovers from "yesterday", there is the situation involving his best friend and his teacher.
What is it about those books Chi seems to like so much, and where did that picture come from?
I seem to be burning through this series rather quickly!
Additional Thoughts - June 1st, 2015 (Rating 4) :
I realized, this time around, that one of the recurring characters, a friend and coworker of Hideki, seems to have disappeared in Volume 3 . I wonder if it's because they really didn't show him at work during this episode.
I'm still annoyed at Chi's lack of training, although she seems to be doing well enough on her own.
I also wonder what will happen with Hideki's best friend and his teacher...are they being phased out of the story?
The focus is shifting, and Hideki has finally calmed quite a bit - which is surprising seeing as things are getting more serious. This volume stays at a 4. There is much I've forgotten since I read it last and I look forward to seeing where this is going. -
Clamps art just never gets old

Cómo dato de color, está edición de Utopía Editorial me causó un reacción alérgica considerable.
-
The plot thickens.
-
I actually appreciate that this manga has something else other than ecchi going for it. The mystery and plot thicken!
-
Chi acts pretty cute in this, and Hideki has quite the challenge as he is seeing Chi as more than simply a robot.

This was the first manga I ever read: an 8-volume series by CLAMP titled Chobits. I loved the cute girl on the covers with her fancy dresses, but what was even more intriguing was the fact that she’s a computer! In these books, “persocoms” (humanoid computers) are the latest advancement in technology. When poor student Hideki finds Chi (the girl on the cover) tied up and abandoned in the trash, he takes her home, thinking he’s gotten himself a free piece of software. Only, when she boots up, he discovers that she’s not your average persocom – there’s much more to her than meets the eye.
What was so fascinating about this series is how it explored the relationship between human and technology. Computers and other pieces of tech are designed to make our lives easier, and the persocoms in this book are no exception. They function as store clerks, secretaries, personal assistants – all the functions of your laptop or smart phone, but with the ability to walk, talk, and interact like a person. Only it doesn’t end there. Throughout the series, there are examples of “relationships” between the persocoms and their humans. Whether or not an artificial life form can have feelings or fall in love is in fact the crux of this manga.
I have more to say on this manga (and others!) in my blog! Check it out here:

Chi gets a legitimate job in order to make Hideki happy, she chats more with the "Other Chi", two mysterious figures appear and seem to be monitoring Chi, another image is sent to Minoru that they suspect is Chi with Ms. Hibya, and Plum is gifted to Hideki! Volume 3 primarily focuses on Chi's developing and evolving character. Through use of the picture books, she's starting to remember her old programming and is developing human emotions. Hideki is really struggling with the idea of Persacoms, questioning why computers should be so human like and getting weirded out at how many people are treating them like humans opposed to machines. Yumi continues to bake treats for Hideki and than freaks out at the mention of Persacoms.
Despite this volume being mainly fluff, it still has decent enough pacing. I'm still invested in the characters and the introduction to Zima leads to another layer of mystery and intrigue. -
Chobits is one the most memorable mangas of the early 20th century. Exploring the relationships that can be formed between humans and persocons, Chobits takes you to the heart of mending a broken heart anew. Chi, as she is named by Hideki, a rebooted persocom learns to interact with the world like a newborn. She slowly learns words other of "chi" and cares for her master Hideki. Hideki comes to care for Chi as time passes and learns of her mysterious past, the shadowy figure and the circumstances that lead him to finding her.
Originally I read Chobits as a child and found the characters and the story cute, romantic and simple. Today as an adult, I found it much less compelling. The characters design flawed, the image of the ideal woman could or are perceived as and the a very simplistic dialogue with nothing to show for. I would recommend X/1999 instead if you are looking for something from CLAMP. -
Por fin el fanservice y la comedia pierden peso para centrarse más en la idea principal de Chobits ¿por qué los ordenadores tienen forma de persona? ¿Los humanos acabarán disfrutando más la compañia de los ordenadores entre ellos? Estas y otras cuestiones se presentan en este tercer volumen que para mí mejora notablemente a los anteriores.
Chii comienza a evolucionar aún más, planteándose muchas cosas y descubriendo su interior. -
Dans ce troisième tome, les choses commencent à s'assombrir concernant le statut de Tchii même si sa bonne humeur candide est vraiment rafraîchissante. le parallèle du monde avec le petit roman illustré à épisodes qu'elle affectionne est particulièrement bien choisi, son auteur mystérieux reste une question à élucider.
Un tome où un duo aux allures de mercenaires fait son entrée et se rapproche de plus en plus.
Une série qui se dévoile de plus en plus à chaque tome -
Perkembangan cerita yang sangat cepat. Lewat penuntun buku bergambar dan rangkaian keseharian mereka, kita bisa melihat seberapa dalam hubungan manusia dan persocon, dan bagaimana perubahan hubungan antara Chii dan Hideki.
Seperti biasa, CLAMP senang melakukan cross over tokoh2 di karya2 mereka sebelumnya. Chobits juga dapat giliran dengan kedatangan dua tokoh yang ada maksud tersembunyi dengan melacak sinyal Chii -
I enjoyed this book. It brings you back to the classic Isac Asimov I Robot theme. If we create a robot and make it have feelings, are we responsible for treating it like a human? It is sad that some in the story do not think so. However, this story might cause you to do some soul searching. You will probably enjoy the nonstop action as well. The artwork is also very well done.

It’s literally a miracle that I found volume 3 today, it was the only one that I had not owned. Find out I have caught up to myself with the anime. And I’m investing I need to know what happens next because I did not continue the show for whatever stupid reason but it’s only getting better.
-
Cute, funny and great "adult" /mature themed manga. Recommend for romance, and science fiction lovers. I love how both characters are so different, human and a robot. Yet so much they remain the same, wanting someone just for them. To love, and to be loved back :). Love this series!!
-
Excellent livre!
-
I liked it. Read it when I was younger, so I don't remember much.
-
This manga starts off pretty great and I’m hooked from the start! And I really love the beautiful art👌😻😁✍️💕
