Customer Review #1:
This was a Great Manga!
When I first went into the manga setion of borders to pick out something to read, I came across A.I Love you. To tell you the truth, I was not a manga wiz myself, I just knew about one manga called Ranma 1/2. Anyways, I pcked it up and started reading it. Hitoshi a poor sport, bad grades, and unpopular kid kinda of reminded me about myself (the whole unpopular thing, I have an A average in all my subjects, including sports hehehe, not to brag!). The whole school knows me because of my "musical Geniosity". Anyways, I loved the Manga! It was absolutely the best as far as I can tell! Whenever I can find time, I just read the books. They sure keep me Busy! And I loved the story line..

 An excellent manga series
AI Love You (1994.) A Manga series by Ken Akamatsu.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;INTRODUCTION:
lt;br /gt;One of the hottest names in Japanese Manga comic titles is Ken Akamatsu. With series like Love Hina and Negima to his name, his popularity ranks among top of Japans many Manga writers. But, there was a time when Akamatsu wasnt so popular. A time when he was still an up-and-coming artist trying to make a name for himself. During that era was the time in which he released AI Love You, the series that would first expose the world to him. In many ways it was seen as his first major triumph! Read on, and see how AI Love You measures up!
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;OVERVIEW (INFORMATION):
lt;br /gt;Ken Akamatsu first released the AI Love You series in 1994. The volumes were originally smaller, broken-down stores that were featured in Japanese Manga showcase periodicals. This American edition was first released in 2004, roughly a decade after the Japanese debut, and the new edition features bonus material - character sketches, interviews with Akamatsu, and more.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;OVERVIEW (STORYLINE):
lt;br /gt;AI Love You follows the story of a young man in high school. Hes a total loser, unable to do anything well. Sports, school work, a social life - this guy fails in every area. Except for one - computer programming. Using an artificial intelligence program, he created the perfect girl. And she was just a pigment of his imagination inside of his computer - until a freak accident during a storm brought her out of his computer and into the real world! Now the loser nobody liked has the best-looking girl around at his side.... But its not as great as it seems! Being an artificial intelligence, she lacks several common sense traits that people have. And because of this she always unintentionally screws things up or hurts people. But her creator stands by her all the way, trying to make her into the ideal girl he always dreamed of. As if he didnt have enough issues on his hands already....
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;REVIEW (STORY):
lt;br /gt;Wow. I never would have guessed that Ken Akamatsu would have had a story out this good prior to his magnum opus Love Hina! How wrong I was. This is not only an excellent story in its own right, it also seems like a premonition to his later work in many ways. For instance, the main character here is very similar to Keitaro, the male protagonist in Love Hina. His two male friends are also similar to Keitaros two male friends from that series. There are a bunch of other little similarities, too. The art style is fairly primitive compared to his later works, and yet it still looks great. The storyline is instantly going to sound familiar to anyone who has seen the film Weird Science, but this is no rip-off of that film by any means! With plenty of interesting plot lines, drama, romance, and humor alike, its an awesome series all its own. Akamatsu also makes the smart move of not introducing too many characters at once - a mistake hed be making way too often in his later works (Negima comes to mind.) Likewise, at this point he wasnt using the same plot lines over and over again, making this one of his most unique and interesting works. This is one of the best Manga titles I have read in a long time. It definitely gets my highest recommendation.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;REVIEW (EDITION):
lt;br /gt;These tenth anniversary reissues of AI Love You give the reader more than just the story. Much like the reissues of Love Hina, you get bonus content! The bonuses include interviews with Akamatsu, early/rough sketches of many of the characters, and plenty of other little things here and there. There are also the usual ads for other Manga series. Great series, and these bonus features make the deal even sweeter.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;OVERALL:
lt;br /gt;This series exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a rough, underdeveloped half-assed take on Love Hina - but I got something that blew my mind! This is easily one of the best Manga titles out there, and its unfortunate that its not among the more popular works that Akamatsu has created over the years. If youre a fan of Manga, and you want a little bit of everything, AI Love You is for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;EDITION NOTES:
lt;br /gt;This Manga series was reissued in 2004 with the bonus content mentioned above. Those are the versions readily available in America, and any bookstore or Manga retailer should have plenty of them in stock.
