Since I do not own the VIZ manga of V5, this review is based on the scanslated version. In this volume, the scanslations were handled by several scanslation groups. Of course, it began with the wonderful and now-defunct, ShoujoMagic, but Chapter 26 was their last for this series. They dropped it, because it became licensed by VIZ in the US. Stolen Scans did chapter 27. Syuura Angels (Syuura) did the final 3 chapters of this volume.

This is a review for the overall series. I give the overall series 5 stars! You know why? Because it was awesome!

The first thing I want to talk about is the ending. Oh, how tragic it was. Oh, how it made my sad. Oh, how it made me cry. Night is "dead". I wish he weren't dead. He just didn't deserve to die. T.T I am so sad. I wish so bad that he weren't dead. He was funny, charming and good looking. He should be alive and with Riiko. T.T He was so lively. Good at cooking, sports, academics.He loved Riiko SO much. He loved Riiko and getting naked. but now he will get naked no more. T.T I wish he were still alive.... And he was so sweet to leave send that note to Soushi and and and... sigh... I wish he were still alive... T.T

R.I.P Night ♥♥♥

So Riiko is a girl. She loved Night very much. He sadly died in the end and she kept kissing him to bring him back, but sadly, he didn't wake up... She was clumsy and very dense but is very kind and sweet and smart. Soushi is taking care of her now... She still loves Night though, even though he's dead. Riiko is a good character. I love her face and who cares if she is flat-chested.

Soushi was always in love with Riiko. But never had the guts to say it to her until she was taken. He still loves her and accepts that she loves Night. I felt sad when he was leaving for Spain but then he came back because Night asked him to take care of Riiko. AND THE NOTE! THE NOTE! That note he recieved from Night. T.T

There were many events in the story that made me laugh because they were so darn funny; like all those times when Night gets naked. There were many events that made me sad; like when Night died T.T . There were many events that made me go "Awwwwww! <3"; like all those times when Night said I love you to Riiko. There were many amazing events in the book. I still remember most of them in my head now.
<33333333333333333333333

The series was funny and witty and romantic and sweet and actiony and thirlling and just simply amazing. I don't think it coukd be any better than it already is. I had a great time reading it and hope that many other people will read it an enjoy it too. I recommend this manga to everyone, including boys. Who cares if it's a shojo manga?It was freaking great! So go out there and read this manga called "Absolute boyfriend".(less)

When you want a boyfriend none are around, that is just how Riiko feels. On the path of desperation she signs up for a free trial for a robotic boyfriend. What can go wrong right? Nope, wrong! Riiko receives the extravagant Night, a hot and sexy man that only wants to please her.

Seriously this is one of the best manga I have ever read! It is filled with romance and comedy and enjoyable characters. I fell in love with every aspect of this series right from the beginning. There is an interesting l...more

Night, despite his miniature size, is causing all kinds of havoc for Riiko. He insists on going to school with her, and then keeps interfering with her activities. While trying to help her with clean up duty, he’s almost discovered by Miyabe. Keeping him hidden is getting to be a real pain, and Riiko’s not sure she can keep him a secret for much longer.

He insists on going to school with her, and then keeps interfering with her activities. While trying to help her with clean up duty, he’s almost discovered by Miyabe. Keeping him hidden is getting to be a real pain, and Riiko’s not sure she can keep him a secret for much longer.

Well, I have to admit that it’s not really the story that keeps me coming back for more Absolute Boyfriend. Though it’s a fairly entertaining series, with the substance of a dust flake, it’s really Yuu Watase’s dreamy art that keeps me coming back for more. Riiko is so wishy-washy, she doesn’t even try to take advantage of having a dishy figure like Night around. The constant will they or won’t they have sex is even more grating in this series, because there’s no question about how devoted Night is to Riiko. So what if he’s not a person – he’s so cute and he exists only to make her happy.

We finally get a quick peek inside Kronos Heaven, where the top brass are all kids! The higher up the company ladder, the younger they are. The president is a baby, and his best contribution to meetings is “ga, ga!” though it appears that he did employ an interpreter to convey his demands. These few panels reminded me of company meetings at my place of employment – my superiors may not look so young, but they certainly act like juveniles.

With Night on the fritz, things start looking bleak for Riiko. She’s already stressing over who she really loves, as Soshi gave her an ultimatum and she must choose between him and Night. Now, it looks like they might be unable to repair Night! It wasn’t really fair of Soshi to be so demanding, considering he wasn’t exactly up front with his feelings until after Night appeared on the scene. To add to her woes, Kronos Heaven wants the the defective Night back, and they’ll stop at nothing to steal him away from Riiko.

Absolute Boyfriend is like peanut brittle. All those empty calories seem like such a waste, but I can’t stop myself from devouring every last bit. All those pages – why did I keep turning them?(less)

Kronos Heaven trys everything in their power to take night back. He has been recalled and they offer Riiko a replacement that looks the same. Shoshi gives Riiko an ultimatum. Riiko makes her choice. She finally realizes she can't have them both. This volume was a fun read and a slight improvement on the previous one.

Read worse manga, read better. It was relatively amusing. A friend said it was really really deep. I haven't got a clue what she was talking about. Brainless fluff, really.

Riiko had to give up Night because he had to get fixed by his company.When he recovers, he was to leave Riiko because she told many people that Night was not a human.Riiko told Soshi that she loved Night even though he was not human and Soshi knew, but wanted her to tell him person to person.Many people disliked Night to be with Riiko,but Night didn't give up Riiko and neither did she.

First time knowing about Zettai Kareshi a.k.a Absolute Boyfriend is from a japanese dorama with the same title as the manga..yea!!!..Starring Hayami Mokomichi (I'm a die hard fans of him)as Tenjo Night..the robot lover.

This drama makes me curious about the manga..and after finishing all chapter I think this manga series is better than the drama versions.

Just a little more filler for a series only 6 volumes in length anyway. Volume 5 is an improvement over its predecessor, with love-interest #2 Soshi finally getting the attention he deserves and Riiko finally making her choice. Somehow though, there is something rather unsatisfying about the whole conclusion.
