But are there not any stories where there are robot boys for the ronery girls?
There is and its called Zettai Kareshi [絶対彼氏] meaning "Absolute Boyfriend."
Zettai Kareshi was (is) originally a Shojo Manga and has been given the manga-to-drama treatment just like just about all the dramas and anime these days.
First 10 mins of Zettai Kareshi EP1 below and preview for next week here.

It's all in his secondary programming. Once we secretly aquires necessary weapons & resources he'll destroy Tokyo. He'll still make time to 'hanky panky' with Riko though. It's a very touching story.

I read two pages of the manga and baulked.. Chobits was more fun though. The special effects look cool in the dorama but!

Yeah, Mizushima Hiro. I also spot Kyo Nobuo. Seems like the both of them appear in same series often.

i haven't read the manga given that this is a Yuu Watase work (and i don't like how she writes her stories imo) but i might give this a shot

Hmm,sounds promising.It's a bit unusual for Ms. Watase's work to go on live action and compressed the stories into 10 ep or more so,though her works translated much into animation.

Oh man >_< I read the english manga from Shojo Beat and I bought the manga when it came out. I was disappointed when it ended and I really like it cause it's funny and awesome but...I'm not happy that it's going to be live-action >_< I know I can't do anything about it but still...>_> I would want to give it a chance but ...the screenshots and preview, I don't want to now. It seems they changed it a lot =( The ages and how she gets it and so forth. I can't get over it. T_T

Wow, they made this series into drama, kind of bold move I think. Wonder when we will see the android in real life? I'm 30 years old now so maybe I can live until I'm 70 years old and that's 2048, would that be enough time for the humanity to develope android? Let's just say android do become available by year 2048, I would be too old to benefit from it... Cruel future indeed -_-

I was really looking forward to this drama. I loved the manga (hated the ending though). Kinda sad that the drama is REALLY different from the manga v_v;
(ID #172376) Posted on 2008/04/19 11:54
I watched it and it was really interesting, havent seen a good japanese drama for a while, looking foreward to this show
(ID #172414) Posted on 2008/04/19 15:08
Intresting Drama, I think I'll watch it , guess i'll add this to my watch list.

OMG!!!! live action shows form anime or manga are the dark side of the force it's the last part after you become a sith lord o. O
(ID #172447) Posted on 2008/04/19 17:31
silly me i didnt make the connection between the manga and this. i never read the manga and always assumed (by the cover art) it was about much younger characters, high school type stuff (which i have nothing against, the art just didnt really grab me). but i definitely will watch this.

i just finished watching the first episode today this is MAJOR EYE CANDY haha aside from that, i like the drama, it's pretty funny and it's quite unique (well the plot is) i can't wait until episode 2 >.< and the part at the end where they both hold hands is so cute~

Hummm... Danny, which one do you advise more, the sarah connors chronicles with its cutie terminator or this Zettai Kareshi ? Quite disappointed to see how draggy is the terminator TV show...

I've dropped terminator for a while now due to lack of time - want to pick it up again.

I saw the first episode yesterday, definitely enjoyed it and had some laughs... I never read the manga, so I have no idea if the changes from school to that business are too bad or something...

I came across the link for the first eps on youtube, and for people are feel lazy at the moment or just read this post for the first time, here ya go, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz1ghLhomNQ&feature=related

I hated the manga, not because of the premise but because of the characters. so I don't think I will be looking forward to this unless the protagonist has more spine that in the manga and the human love interest looks less stalking posesive than the original.
(ID #174060) Posted on 2008/04/23 03:50
I have read the manga, so this should be interesting!
(ID #176126) Posted on 2008/04/27 21:48
me and my girlfriend loved the manga version of this show, its really funny. i hope they would release a DVD Copy of this soon so i could send it to her as a gift ^_^
(ID #176627) Posted on 2008/04/28 18:38
Well I did read the manga and it was pretty Ok. I really liked the writing style, I know Night is just a robot but I'm thinking it's about time that Riiko slept with him. So far I've only watched three of the TV episodes and I like them so far and I'm really looking forward to the rest.

Thanks for the photos. I am so hooked on this drama. Though I have a big question about this female chastity thing ;-) Hope you don't mind that I linked to your photo explanation: http://jaredinnakano.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/zettai-kareshi-the-dreamy-robot/
