Absolute Boyfriend is, more than anything else, very cute. And that's really about all it is. There's not much by way of deep character development, messages about the meaning of life, or heartwrenching plot twists (except that one). It's cute. And it does cute very well.

>Story-------------8

The story isn't very complex. The heroine has bad luck with guys, and after her latest rejection, she meets a mysterious salesman and accidentally orders a sexbot online. Cue love triangle, funny misunderstandings, and lots of fan service. It's nothing astounding, but Yuu Watase (goddess that she is) brings that certain element to the table that makes it very charming and loveable. I got lots of giggles out of it, particularly in the beginning. The ending felt a little forced and sudden to me, but given the lack of substance in the rest of the story, it didn't particularly bother me.

>Art----------------10

Nothing to complain about. If you've read Fushigi Yuugi or Ayashi no Ceres (if you haven't, they're a must for all shoujo lovers), imagine a slightly more modern version of that. It's a little hard for me to comment on the art because her style is sort of the "default" in my mind, since Fushigi Yuugi is one of the first manga I ever read.

>Characters------7

None of the characters have very deep backstories or significant development through the series. Personally, I prefer my protagonists with a little more depth, a little more tragedy, but the main cast is still managed to work their way into my heart with their loveable personalities.

>Enjoyment------9

I'd read part of this series years ago while it was being published in Shojo Beat, so I knew what I was getting into and enjoyed the story for what it was. If you're looking for something epic, this isn't it. But if you're just looking for a cute story with plenty of funny moments and cute guys, it'll probably be right up your alley.
