This is the eighth and final volume in the "Chobits" series. All the questions about Chi are finally answered, and you get to see how everyone ends up.

I liked the end. A lot of people say that it was disappointing, but I didn't think so. I thought it was very appropriate. There are no huge surprises, but there are a couple of interesting things about some of Chi's special features. Overall, it was very sweet.

The art is is as good as ever. Great looking characters and detailed environments. If you can find it, get the edition without the red Tokyopop symbol on the spine, because it has gorgeous color pictures in the front. You may also want to get the special edition version with the book case and Chi figurine. This is hard to find as well, but Amazon or E-Bay should have it.

If you've been reading "Chobits", don't miss the last volume. This is a great ending to the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sour Ending, January 16, 2004

Oh, I loved the sereies, but the ending left a lot to be desired. It seemed the story was actually very romantic, but they seem to shoot it all down at the end...can't really say how without giving the story away, but it was frustrating. It all seems to come down to Hideki being able to love Chi, not the other way around.

4.0 out of 5 stars The End, November 5, 2003

This review is from: Chobits, Volume 8 (Paperback)

And again we are subjected to CLAMP's one major flaw: endings. Don't get me wrong; I love CLAMP's stories and style, but the way they end their stories invariably invokes a single response: "Uh, what?" I liked it. But, plotwise, it was certainly not on par with the rest of the series. Perhaps the fact that I had long since figured out what was going to happen made it that less enjoyable for me.

Volume 8, being the last volume, is a tad shorter than the previous seven. If you've been reading with baited breath up until now, as I was, then of course you should pick it up. But don't expect anything life changing.
