Just found about this anime called Chobits! I am not a fan of anime but... but this is way cool! I am currently starting Chapter 20!

Chobits - Plot

The story centers on the life of Hideki Motosuwa, 18, a repeat student ("ronin") attempting to get into university by studying at the Seki Prep School in Tokyo. An honest and unassuming teenager raised on a farm, he has little experience with women, though his imagination and libido are both quite active. Besides a girlfriend, the other thing he dreams of having is a persocom (Personal computer), a computer designed to look and act like a human. Hideki discovers that persocoms are commonplace in the city. They are programmed with fairly subdued personalities; they assist their owners with chores (such as shopping, dictation, email, and accounting) and are easily identifiable by the large data ports on the sides of their heads. But persocoms are expensive and Hideki has no money, so he figures the only way he'll ever have one is if he were to find one lying on the curb.

No sooner has he thought this than it happens: on his way home from school one evening, he stumbles across a persocom in the form of a beautiful young girl with long hair, wrapped in cloth, turned off, lying against a pile of trash bags. He carries her home, and after a long and nervous search for her on/off button, he finally turns her on. She comes instantly to life and regards Hideki with open adoration, hugging him often and watching him fascinated as she often mimics the things he does, but the only word she ever says (until later episodes) is "chii", so this is the name Hideki gives her (in the Japanese anime Hideki spells it with an extra "i", as Chii, and it remains "Chi" in the manga).

Hideki recruits the help of his technically-minded friend Shinbo to try to figure out where Chii came from. All they are able to determine is that she does not have any operating system installed. Shinbo is perplexed as to how she's able to be active at all with a blank memory, and this is the beginning of the mystery of Chii's origins and purpose.

Meanwhile Hideki takes it upon himself to teach words, concepts and behaviour to Chii while he attends school, looks for a job, and makes new friends. He finds himself putting aside his libido and protecting Chii against people who want her for themselves; he buys her a storybook in which she seems to take an unusual interest; she shows him unconditional love and cheers him on through his studies. Before long it's clear that Chii is developing feelings for Hideki to a depth that persocoms aren't supposed to be able to have, and Hideki seems to be falling in love with her despite friends' warnings against having feelings for an artificial person.
