The name of this manga attracted me and the premise kind of reminded me of Chobits. I was intrigued by the thought of that scenario from a female perspective, plus the naked character in the cover made me think, "hell yeah, Female POV Chobits plus sex, I'm in." Oh was I sorely mistaken.

Like many others on here I disliked the ending, but that's mostly because I read this stuff to get away from my miserable life and I try to live vicariously through these characters (and I'm sure to finally choose the love of your life only to lose him soon after must BLOOOOOW); so, yeah.

Even though I'm super emotional, I didn't find the ending as sad as I did annoying. I kinda felt like it was rushed, or that it happened too fast (or maybe it just felt that way since I just wanted to get to the end). The only part when I did cry was about the reference to Hachiko; now that's sad, lol. (Always makes me cry, just like Jurassic Bark T-T). The rest, not so much.

Like others I felt the story kind on dragged on a bit, some characters where underdeveloped and that Riiko was annoying at times (like her refusing to take advantage of Knight's "talents," I'd be all over that).

Speaking of which, I rushed through the whole thing specifically to get to the good bits, them f***ing. Boy was I unpleasantly surprised when I was presented with like 3 pages of implied sex and nothing more. I mad. It’s Twilight all over again, but that’s what I get for reading sh*t aimed at tweens and teens; I should stick to yaoi, or the very least josei and seinen.

In my and the manga’s defense I didn’t know it was shojo or a tragedy, (things I probably should have looked up before I started reading, stupid me), so all these things that annoyed ME might be fine with others and they might get more out of it than I did.

Overall it was an entertaining read and I didn’t dislike the ending, nonsensical situations and NO [explicit] SEX GODDOMOT, so much as to say I completely wasted my time.

I quite liked this manga. As several shoujo mangas, it's full of clichés, but they are really well developed and nice. You don't feel like all the cliches are being rushed into the scene to please you. Instead, the story moves at a nice pace and makes you wanna keep on reading.

The idea of a girl having to choose between two seemingly perfect guys is quite repetitive in shoujo mangas, but I believe this is one of the stories in which it makes you really, really sad when the girl has to actually choose one. In several others is oh! - so - obvious who she is going to go for and the lack of feelings on the part of the rejected guy makes you feel like this cannot be real. Here it almost made me cry seeing how the rejected guy reacted.

I wouldn't praise the ending, 'cause I don't think I completely understood it. I don't like endings which don't clearly show you what's happening or who the main character is going to stay with. Here you can understand either that she is going to wait forever for the one guy or move on and go for the other one.

All the same, I would recommend this to shoujo manga readers who like sweet stories with a bit of drama and sci fi in it.

...So I'm quite biased. But this is different to most shoujo manga, and, actually, to most of Watase's work (she even said in a side-note in the manga that she didn't normally do just romance, there normally had to be some kind of other plot). I thought it was refreshing. I normally try to stay away from shoujo, but this one is definitely worth a read.

The art was stunning, the series was just the right length, and with just enough comedy to balance the drama. I did actually cry at times, just like a laughed loudly many times. I actually liked it so much that I bought the whole series.

Riiko is cute and funny without being a typical 'every-one loves me' character that seems to be so popular in the shoujo world (something that I really hate). Night is gorgeous and innocent, while Soshi is serious, and yet so sweet. Gaku was pretty awesome, too. It had some interesting sub-plots that, I was happy to find, were played out until the end.

The whole idea of being in a dilemma about having to decide if you want to date robot boyfriend when there's a really hot guy living nearby who is very interested was just so ludicrous to me, and the ending was just so bad that I don't see myself ever wanting to reread it. Especially after having read something like Chobits, which also does the whole human/robot love and relationships far better if we're meant to take it seriously.

I read manga while listenening to "Only One" by Yellowcard during the sad moments. I think it was that was probably the main thing that made me cry at the end because the words of the song just fit so well with the manga. The only bad thing about it now is that I can't listen to that song anymore because it will cause my tears to well up in my eyes from thinking about this manga. May be because I'm sensitive. But I still recommend it nonetheless.

i rated it for 10!!excellent!! hehee
i think this manga is sooo cool..esp the boys..ahaha..omg so good looking..hehe
night tenjo is really a perfect "man" or perhaps "doll"...ahaha
but nevermind..as long as he is perfectt hehheee...
i wish i had a boyfriend like that too..ahaha but not a doll XDXDXDXD
watase yuu always good in drawing boys ahaha )

I think it's sad that this manga was my first introduction to Yuu Watase's work. It left me with a bad impression of her and a wondering of how it was she'd gotten so popular. I've since read a lot of her other titles and am slowly starting to reassess my opinions.

I think Night would've been a better character for me (more likable) had Soshi not been in the picture. I mean, the girl needs a robot boyfriend when she has a hottie next door who's in love with her? And then the whole "Do I date this robot or the hot real guy next door" dilemma was so frustrating. Hello? Robot or Human? Is this really a decision you need to stress yourself out over?

I kept reading, wanting to see how this would all end... and I have to say, I wish I hadn't. The ending was absolutely horrid. I'm going to use a spoiler tag here, so I can sufficiently rant about it for a moment:


I feel generous giving this manga a 6... but on the other hand, as much as I dislike the ending and found the characters/plot pretty ridiculous, it was still a decent read. It had its charming moments, I suppose... and wasn't a complete waste of time.

Also, it's always nice to have a horrible ending to complain about. XD

I do not know why people here complaning so much =.=
This manga is obviously good! Just admit that!
The artwork is beautiful and the length of the series is just nice. Not so many unnecessary scenes though (the improvement of Yuu Watase) and not a single dull moment.
I do enjoy all the series.
There r many cliche in manga and it is impossible for the mangaka to come up with the totally 100% original idea. But I do think that if the mangaka can express her own style in story-telling and artwork, she is the winner.
Anyway, there should be an anime ^^ I think it gonna be successful just like the drama and the manga itself.

I rate this manga a four ONLY because the ending was the most decent part in the story.


This manga reminds me of Chobits; the concept of having a perfect boyfriend...in a robot is ridiculous. I mean, while reading this, I could only ask one question of this manga: was she really so desperate that she would look for a perfect boyfriend in a robot? CLEARLY, it was programmed to be exactly what she needed but it's not real. And because it's a robot, it obviously had a shorter life span. Wouldn't it be more fulfulling, more honest to try to find a boyfriend who you will want to eventually marry? Despite this fact, I still appreciate the fact that she still had to work hard to maintain her cy-boy. It still shows us that the main character is not entirely fooled into believing it'll be there forever, even though that was what she wanted. It was like...having sex with your robot pet...

I gave it a pretty low rating. I would only recommended if you want a spur-of-the-moment slice-of-life kind of manga.
