Pepino's Notes

This was a hard one to read. After Yota finally saves Ai in the video world, she disappears. When he sees her again, she has been reset. She does not remember him or anything they shared together. Yota is torn apart inside from having to see Ai but she does not even know him. A new girl, Nobuko, starts seeing more of Yota at this time. That is Nobuko on the cover.

Defective Video Girl.
When Ai falls in love with Yota – emotions that are forbidden for Video Girls – Ai’s creator recalls her tape completely! Yota must travel to the hazardous video world and battle physical and psychological hardship in order to prove his love for Ai.

Well, I read that quickly. Could not put it down. That is Moemi on the cover.

“Dateless” Moteuchi and the video girl.
High school student Yota Moteuchi is nicknamed “Dateless”. When the love of his life confesses she is in love with his best friend, Yota rents a video for comfort, but the shop is magical, and the cute star of his rented tape pops out of his TV and tries to fix his ruined love live.

Re-edited in the mix down.
When Ai starts to have feelings for Yota – feelings that are forbidden for Video Girls – Ai’s creator steps in to either fix her or erase her! Ai must decide whether to give Yota the cold shoulder or to acknowledge her growing love for him.

Just started to reread some of my favorite manga. What better place to start then with Video Girl Ai, one of my favorite stories. Yota Moteuchi rents a video tape from a mysterious store and when his VCR malfunctions Ai Amano comes out of the television and into his life. She promises to cheer him up (the name of the tape was I’ll cheer you up). But because his VCR had malfunctioned, Ai comes out a little different then she was on the tape. Fun, romance, drama, and action ensue.

Dateless.
Yota Moteuchi is so unpopular, his nickname is “Dateless”. That doesn’t stop him from falling in love with his classmate Moemi, but is she in love with someone else?

Out of the TV and into the fire.
At a mysterious video shop, Yota rents a tape starring the cute, young idol Ai Amano. When he plays the video on his broken VCR, Ai promises to cheer Yota up – then she emerges from the television and declares she will improve Yota’s love life!
