Chobits - Recommendations

nihonotaku says...

Although intended for different audiences, Chobits and Z.K. share a common theme of a robot/computer lover.

LittleChomp says...

Both Absolute Boyfriend and Chobits examine the problems caused by artificial humans becoming too similar to the real things. The biggest difference is the amount of intimate interaction between the android and its owner, but that's usually a key difference between shoujo and seinen, isn't it?

morfire16 says...

Both are definitly similar, what with a main character falling in love with a robot/computer, and having to wonder about the nature of that relationship. Both of the metalic counterparts also need to be taught a few things about how to act normal.

Kari5 says...

Both of these series are romance manga that revolve around the relationship between a human and an android. They deal with issues about dating non-humans over humans although it is discussed more in-depth in Chobits. They both also involve co-workers who are interested in the main character, and must deal with the fact their love-rival isn't even human. If you loved the plot idea of one, you'd probably love the other.

Arentkittensgreat says...

They both explore romance between a human and an artificial intelligence. They approach the concept from different angles, but essentially they both develop into the aforementioned. 

eempso says...

Both stories involve a main character who take in and fall in love with a android type person and the hardships that ensue. but both are very cute stories. I reccomend both.

dumbdinos says...

Both manga hit you where it hurts, RIGHT IN THE HEART. Chobits and Absolute Boyfriend are both similar in the fact that their significant other is an android-type being that they take in and fall slowly in love with. Not too similar that you'll feel deja-vu reading it but similar enough that it's a warm and fuzzy nostalgic romance. 

Raptorsatan says...

Both manga are slice of life sort of magical girl manga, where the female protaganist slowly develops over time starting from scratch.

JAhU says...

Both manga feature a non-human, android-like girl and in both of those series the girl is a kind of a defective product. The male lead (who is made to live with the girl) finds her to be great annoyance at first, but slowly starts developing feelings for her later on (he certainly doesn't think of the girl as defective). Both series pose as ecchi comedies, but they actually contain some drama and obviously romance. If you liked one of them, there is a big chance that you will like the other one as well.

WellChild says...

Both are futuristic (to a degree). In both series, the non-human beings are predominately portrayed as female, which allows the for the ecchi themes, along with the down-on-his-luck male lead. They also both illustrate similar relationships, which leads to some questioning of whether humans and non-humans can love each other. There are other more basic similarities, but I think that if you enjoy one series, you should consider checking out the other.

Yakoz says...

Both manga are based on romance and the sudden appearance of a girl, an android for Chobits and an alien for DearS. The male lead in both cases will have to take care of the girl and teach her everything about the world step by step, getting closer and closer in their "forbidden" relationship.

LordDoctor says...

Dense Service Girl working for a person who never expected nor knew how to be her Master. MC (the “Master”) helps the service Girl enjoy life while also enjoying the benefits of her Servile nature. Is giving someone a purpose a kindness?

The main heroine characters, Chii in Chobits and ‘Nyuu' or Lucy from Elfen Lied, are very similar to each other and act the same way when they first appear. I thought that the story lines were very similar to each other too, except Elfen Lied has a great deal of gore in it whereas Chobits focuses more on the ‘cute' aspect of the characters.

Yakoz says...

Both female leads, Chii and Nyuu, are very similar to each other and have something they cannot remember from their past. Similar cases with the male protagonists who find and take care of the two girls, getting more and more attached overtime.

eempso says...

both stories involve  a main character who  has to come to learn about and accept a someone and their past. 

But, elfen lied is alot darker and filled with more gore than chobits.

Personally i'm fine with this, and if you can get past that, i definately reccomend this is you enjoyed chobits like i did.

HarlequinDollette says...

Two stories, similar yet vastly different in the end. A lonly, down on his luck student, meets a pretty girl, and they work to be together. Each is diffrent but both give accidental romance a new light.

nihonotaku says...

Both series are (at least in the beginning) about a college-age guy who accidentally gets a non-human girlfriend. Both also have the same general romantic comedy feel.

wolfangel87 says...

Both plots seem to take on interesting variations as the manga progress; they have unforgettable characters and a flair for comedic moments. Fruits Basket is a more ‘cute' type of manga whereas Chobits has a little more of an ecchi quality about it, but they are both very endearing.

Alyrii says...

They're both very cutesy. Fruits Basket seems to have more meaning, but they both kind of have underlying importance.

AirCommodore says...

CLAMP's manga are pretty distinctive, and Clover and Chobits are no exception. Both are soft sci-fi stories about naive young (or just young-looking) girls with some crazy mystery power that they can't control meeting and loving a man. As in all CLAMP series, the artwork in each is gorgeous, and major themes include the ever popular "love is blind" and "love will conquer all".

Chibikitty says...

They both draw you into unique worlds that you just want to keep reading about long after you finish the seires.

wolfangel87 says...

What happens when robots are able to come to life?  You get Chobits and Angelic Layer (well almost with Angelic Layer).  The robots in each of these fantastic series have connections with the people that ‘own’ them.  The interesting takes on how humans are able to react to emotional ties with something non-human is shown in a variety of contrasts and opinions in each series.  While Chobits is more suited for an adult type level Angelic Layer is still entertaining for people of all ages.

lindapearl says...

Angelic Layer and Chobits will show the reader that robots have feeling and deserve their own rights. Both of the main character like their robots a lot and care for them. Even through Chobits is for older teens both manga will question the reader about whether or not robots should be treated like a living thing. If you like one you should definitely try the other.  

Chiara says...

It's a bit alike: two different worlds collide. Since the drawing style is related to Hino's, too, and you probably like Comedy and Romance as genre, you'll like Chobits and MeruPuri for sure.

wolfangel87 says...

The unique style of how the characters meet in Chobits and Midori Days is similar as is the strange love interest between the main characters. They both have a similar plot line dealing with some ecchi, although the relationship as a whole remains relatively innocent.

wolfangel87 says...

There is a forbidden love radiating through both of these anime series. Romeo X Juliet is along the line of a more historical sense between two warring families while Chobits presents a more technological dilemma between a robot with feelings and a human.
