Synopsis:

In a near-future Japan where advanced androids are commonplace, the lines between technology and humanity blur. Hideki Motosuwa, a diligent student from a modest background, unexpectedly encounters a discarded Persocom – a personal computer designed to resemble a human being. Designated "Chii" due to her single vocalization, she exhibits unusual limitations, unable to download data like other models.

Hideki dedicates himself to educating Chii about the world, all while preparing for crucial college entrance exams. As their bond deepens, they begin to question Chii's origins, with whispers suggesting she might be a "Chobit," a legendary Persocom rumored to possess genuine emotions and affection. The narrative explores themes of connection, identity, and the evolving nature of relationships in an increasingly technological society, examining whether true intimacy can develop between human and artificial intelligence.
