Absolute Boyfriend Manga + Japanese TV Series

I was a little skeptical about buying this manga when it first came out, but once I read it I just couldn't put it down and anxiously waited for the next volume to come out. That's another thing I hate, having to wait and wait just to find out what happens next. It's like you're in the middle of watching a movie and just when it's the most important scene, it stops.. and you're like what? wait happens next? Right, don't you just hate that? So I usually like waiting for the whole set to come out first before I purchase it, whether it's dvds or books. Which by the way this manga ends at volume 6. Short but still so good. It's about a teenage girl who keeps getting rejected by guys and one day accidently buys a "Night Lover" robot home. He seems to be everything she ever wanted in a guy but the only thing is, can this be real love? After all he is just a robot.. isn't he? He might be programmed to love her, cook for her, clean for her, even serve her as an personal sex lover (don't worry this isn't an adult book)... but is it possible that with or without these programs that maybe he's doing all this on his own? Could a robot really feel and understand the meaning of love? And can she really afford him? I mean he is a robot and robots don't come cheap nowadays. Not only that what about her best friend who lives next door to her? Can he continue to hide his feelings for her? And finally who will she end up with? Now doesn't this manga sound exciting or what? I did my best writing down all the main plots of this manga, as for the rest you'll just have to find out if you do decide to pick this manga up. Try @ Website: http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.otakufuel.com/ or http://www.discountanimedvd.com/

All I can say is.. it's so good that they made it into a Japanese TV show almost immediately. It's pretty much the same, the only difference is the main characters aren't teenagers and instead are adults working in an office. And the best friend isn't her neighbor, he's her boss. But other then that everything else is pretty much still the same. She still has to work, work, work, in order to pay for him. You can pick up the imported version of this series @ Website: http://www.walawala.net/ (free shipping)
