When I picked this up off the shelf an odd year ago or so, I wasn't sure what to think. So, here's some help to those of you who aren't sure; what I DID think. The story itself was, overall, very good, but there were times where a chapter simply added nothing to the overall plot. They felt like filler chapters, but luckily the short length meant there were very few of these. Even so, the story (and side stories) were charming and often fun to read. There were innuendos everywhere; Saati (the main female) didn't understand them and made good humour while Toeni (a secondfemale) was much more knowledgeable and had often pointed out the irony. Which brings me smoothly onto characters. Hitoshi, the main male, is one of those not so good looking but fairly funny, charming and embarrassed main male leads found in many of such mangas (such as Chobits and Love Hina). You couldn't hate him, but at the same time it was possible (from a girl's perspective) to see why no girl loved him. He made some comical moments, seemed to care, yet was as dense as the sweet Saati, who was another typical vulnerable, naive yet inspiring female. The extras and additional characters were also good, and all added that little bit - especially Puppy! The art itself was nice and detailed; I liked the style of drawing a lot. The characters were all nicely designed and unique, with the exception of the main male who was somewhat typical in appearance too. Overall, it's a good manga and one certainly worth reading. It's witty, sweet and a good break from what can otherwise be an arduous day. You should certainly like this if you enjoyed: -Love Hina -Chobits -Ah! My Goddess. Hope that helps. :)
Hitoshi Kobe is pretty dumb, not good at sports, and extremely unpopular. The only thing he IS good at really is creating artificial intelligence programs on his computer. His greatest work is number 30, one which very accurately simulates talking to an actual girl. One dark and stormy night, a freak lightning strike causes number Thirty to emerge from his computer screen as a real girl, and sends Hitoshi's life on a turn for the crazy. (Source: ANN)
Kobe Hitoshi, a young guy who sucks at sport and school, basically a loser in life who's bad luck never seem to end. But he has one amazing talent, computer programming, mainly A.I.s He created so many programs, but his most pride and joy would be Program 30, Nambe Saati, who he actually likes. Then one day, Saati comes to life as in moving from 2D to 3D, and becomes his girlfriend. Now the madness can begin hahaha Story: The plot is again not so complex as it is a romantic comedy and somewhat of a harem series. Though in it simplicity, it was a prettytouching and funny short read about an A.I. trying to learn how to be human. Art: The artwork is pretty simple. Not too complex and decent. The scenes are somewhat nice. I especially love how the author makes the cyber world looks like an ocean, that part was pretty cool. However there is the exaggeration of those ecchi scenes. I just feel like every chapter Hitoshi has to somehow accidentally grab one of the girls boobs or flip their skirts etc. But overall it had some good artwork. Character: For those of you who have read Love Hina, there is a great resemblance between Saati and Naru, like they look so alike. Well for character development, there was some to an extent. Good enough in my opinion for a somewhat short series. The character development for Saati and Hitoshi was quite a lot for such a short series as both become more mature, and Saati starts to become more human, while Hitoshi starts to become more independent and have more confidence in himself. Enjoyment: This was a pretty good short series. Though sadly I felt that it could have been longer, especially near the end, it was a real rush as the author had to hurry and end it. Personally I really liked this short and sweet series and really wished that it could have been longer. Well hope that this review was helpful. If it wasn't please comment on why it wasn't and if it was please comment too so I can improve my reviewing skills!
I own this series physically. I had gotten it on accident, and it was an absolute gem in the rough. I started reading it in 2019, and later happened to get the other 7 volumes. This is one of my favorite mangas and influenced my art style and taste in waifus greatly. Often while reading this series, I would forget it came out in the 90's because it holds up to this day so well. Story: The story was pretty straight-forward; Hitoshi is average at everything but coding; He went home to his coded A.I. waifu; She came to life in an accident. This seriesis a harem, so other A.I. creations of Hitoshi come to life throughout the series as well. This was also the predecessor to Love Hina, so it's insane how similar they are. But the story often had some parts that dragged, and left open a lot of holes, that even Akamatsu-san recognized and acknowledged! Overall though, the story is 8/10 Floppy disks. Art: I particularly love the art style of this manga. While reading through the manga, you don't really notice the change and development in the art style until you look back to the first page. The story developed with the art, making it even more charming. Unfortunately, some of the characters started to get same-face syndrome throughout the later parts of the series. Overall the art is 9/10 Tubes of paint. Very pleasing. Characters: The characters were very enjoyable. Saati was very ditzy and sweet, Toni was hot and all for it, and Forty was innocent with a temper; A lot of variety. However, sometimes these characters felt out of place in the situations they were placed in. Overall 9/10 Coding strings. Personal Enjoyment: I love this series with the whole of my heart. This was the first series that I had ever gotten to completion. I liked the comedy and it was my first introduction to harem series. One bit I will never forget is that the A.I.s run on floppy disks. I said before that this story still holds up to today, and it does! It's just so funny to think that in the 90s this was pretty much impossible, contrary to now! Overall my enjoyment is 10/10 'I love yous' and forever will be. When you average my scores it comes out to an even 9! I will always love this series and I hope it will get more recognition one day. -K. Debt
This anime is certainly a time capsule, an era of floppy disks and tank computers. Generally, it was pretty fun, not too heavy all the time, mostly some slice of life, with a decent amount of high-stakes moments that keep things interesting. In terms of characters, the main ones are alright, they do face some development and depth to an extent, but aren't perfect in writing either. As expected of the era, the art style feels like the textbook definition of older anime, which I do like, and it is interesting to see the changes in it later on. The most captivating part of themanga is certainly the visualization of the internet from that time. Websites and software that are visited by Saati and the others are shown in actual environments, and viruses are drawn as characters. The fan service is sometimes generic, but overall, the manga is pretty solid. Read it for enjoyment, don't build your expectations too high.
