CHOBITS DARK HORSE OMNIBUS ED (2025)

"Some people buy their personal computers based on style . . . and in near-future Japan, the hottest style for your 'persocom' is shaped like an attractive android! Poor student Hideki, fresh off the farm and trying to get into a Tokyo university, has neither money nor a girlfriend -- then finds a persocom seemingly discarded in an alley. Taking the cute robot home and activating it, Hideki finds her affectionate, but amnesiac, able only to say the word 'Chi' -- and so he names her. But who is this strange new persocom in his life? Instead of being his digital assistant, Hideki finds himself having to teach Chi how to get along in the everyday world, even while he and his friends try to solve the mystery of her origins. Is she one of the urban-legendary Chobits -- persocoms built to have the riskiest functions of all: real emotions, and free will? * A crossover hit for both female and male readers, CLAMP's best-selling manga ever in America is finally available in omnibus form! * The Chobits Omnibus Edition contains sixteen bonus color pages!"

"In a world where people rely on computers to escape loneliness, the logical conclusion is the persocom-attractive robot companions that are becoming everyone's boyfriend and girlfriend. Chi is a persocom, but she is also one of the legendary 'Chobits,' experimental persocoms built to acquire full awareness and emotion. As Hideki and his friends search for the abducted Chi, others are watching them-others who know who built Chi, and why . . . and what went terribly wrong. It is already known that the affectionate persocom can in fact be quite dangerous . . . but the real danger is what the soul of this new machine means for the future of the human heart. Because it was never the computers who were weak, it was the people who made them . . . and if Hideki wants to truly save Chi, he needs the courage to truly love her! The conclusion of the best-selling Chobits saga! * 'Chobits is perhaps CLAMP's most mature work to date, and not just 'mature' in the fan service sense. This time, they take love into the twenty-first century, exploring humans' relationship with technology . . . The series is not only one of the sexiest manga in its genre, it is also one of the most endearing.'-Manga: The Complete Guide * The Dark Horse series of CLAMP omnibus editions has truly raised the bar for manga collections!"
