Manga Review: Chobits Vol. 2

                                                        Chobits Vol. 2 Review

In this volume Hideki spends more time with his coworker Yumi who seems to dislike persocoms(human shaped computers) and seems to feel a bit jealous of them because quite a lot of people seem to like to date their persocoms that all look really cute and can literally be anything the person wants them to be. Also in this volume we learn that Minoru's persocom Yuzuki is based off his sister who had died several years earlier and that while Minorou enjoys spending time with Yuzuki it makes him sad afterwards because he knows that Yuzuki doesn't have real feelings because she's not a real person.

Also in this volume we find out that Hideki's land lady, Chitose knew Chi before her data was deleted and it's implied that something bad or sad may have happened to her before her data was deleted. Chi also finds another persocom that looks just like her that apparently shares a close bond with her. There's also more of the picture book that is oddly similar to Chi's life in this volume which I found very interesting.

I also liked that there seemed to be quite a few moments when Chi seemed like she liked Hideki more than a persocom should be able to like a person. I also liked that while Hideki is still not fully think of Chi as a true person that he does clearly care about her and sees that their are times when it seems like she might be displaying true human emotions.

I overall really enjoyed this volume and found it to be better than the first one. The art is still lovely and I liked that the characters got more development. Please tell me your thoughts on this volume.
