Chobits Vol 2 : 5 of 5

The series has such charm that's I'm completely into it already - I can't wait to watch it all! I watched all four episodes on this volume back to back, which I usually don't do with most series, and there were so many funny and touching moments that I can't count them all. Chi learns about money and buying things when Hideki buys her a book as a gift (I'm sure the plot of the book will be very important, since it seems to be "awakening" something in Chi's programming), and then she decides that she should get a job to help Hideki make more money. Unfortunately, she is so innocent that someone quickly ropes her into appearing in a peep show (hilariously called Live Cute Kitten Peeping Nyan Nyan), but as Hideki is rushing to save her, she glows brightly and flies out of the building! We don't really find out what that's about yet, but she returns to normal soon. Hideki also learns that he has to charge Chi or she runs out of power, and the intensity of Hideki's emotion when she nearly powers down is amazing. Seeing Chi happy about getting a good job (at a bakery) and hug Hideki is just the cutest thing ever - I'm definitely a Chobits fan now!
