Absolute Boyfriend is...
...absolutely hilarious!
If the rest of the series is as good as the first volume, then I think I might have a new favorite manga on my hands. ^_^
For those who don't know what it is about, the best way I can think of to describe it is very Chobits-like. (I don't think it's a coincidence that Chobits is currently tied with Ayashi no Ceres and Fruits Basket as my favorite manga.) The heroine is Izawa Riiko (the Aya clone), who doesn't have much luck when it comes to men. One day, she comes across the lost cell phone of a strange-looking salesman from a company called Kronos Heaven. To thank her for returning it, he offers her a discount on anything from the company's catalogue. Riiko's a bit hesitant, since she doesn't have the best luck when it comes to mail-order items (the first scene shows her measuring her bust size after trying out something she ordered through the mail), and tells him that the only thing she wants is a boyfriend. As it turns out, however, you can order one of those too. They're called Nightly Lovers, and basically, they're humanized robots. Riiko decides to try the three-day trial, and the next day, a naked man is delivered to her apartment!
I love Night, which is what Riiko names her new "boyfriend." He has a tendency to take off all his clothes and offer to have sex with Riiko -- she did specify him to be "horny" after all -- which means tons of fanservice for the girls for once. ^_^ And boy is he hot! Tooya might actually have a little competition. *fans self* Soshi, the other male lead who appears to have a crush on Riiko, is pretty cute as well. Love guys in glasses. *drools*
I want the next volume right now. *pouts*
I also read my new Fushigi Yugi volume as well, which was pretty good. I liked that it focused quite a bit on Chichiri, since he and Hotohori are my favorites of the Suzaku warriors. Hotohori got plenty of screentime, but Chichiri was usually in the background most of the time.

Maybe I should check those out, since I apparently have a thing for those types of stories....
