064: Chobits vol.7

Chapters 73 to 81

By CLAMP

Translation by Shirley Kubo

Lettering by John Clark

 

Synopsis:

Upset from the events of the previous volume, Minoru explains to Yuzuki that he loves her for herself and does not think of her as a replacement for his sister. Later, Chitose reveals to Hideki that Chi was originally named Elda, built alongside her identical sister, Freya. The two were the daughters that Chitose could never have and so she would act as their mother.

When Freya fell in love with her creator, Chitose's husband, the emotional stress destroyed her. Out of respect to her dying sister, Chi would take her sister's heart and reboot herself so that she would carry both her own and her Freya's soul. Chi herself would be able to find a soulmate, someone she can love but to avoid the mistake of falling in love with the wrong person again she would have no memory or contact with her creator and mother.

Chitose reveals that she wrote A City With No People to help Chi with her search for her soulmate. Hideki runs off to find Chi, while Chi decides that Hideki is her soulmate and activates her unique programming.

Topics:

  • Should Yuzuki have died?
  • Is Freya's love creepy?
  • Was it really luck that Hideki just so happened to find Chi?

  • Angelic Layer

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
