My girlfriend recently got me into it by lending me the first book. I fell in love with the series and looked it up online to finish reading it. it's 8 books and i finished it in 2 days.
It really made me think.
It's more of a guy book but every single girl I've heard that read it just loves the book. It's about persocoms. they are kinda like androids but more like a computer. They can be used for labor but a lot of the times they are just used to things like email and phone calls.
A poor nice guy finds one laying in the garbage and it really cute *SCORE* he takes it home and turns it on. The funny thing is the switch is in its..... yeah vagina. It wakes up and it's memory is completely wiped but it has the ability to learn. So he lives with it for a long while.
It's a tad bit of a dirty book and that's really the main reason I started reading it. but wow the story line is very good.
I suggest..... everyone above the age of 13 to read this manga.
