Over in Japan it is known as:

ちょびっツ (Chobittsu)

Description of the program:

The genre of this program is science fiction, comedy and romance made for 13 plus. Very much like the animation Dears.

It starts off with the main character Hideki Motosuwa, an 18 year-old man trying to get back into college, but when realizes he has been rejected he decides a prep school in Tokyo is the best way to go.

When he arrives in Tokyo he feels panicky when trying to get to his student accommodation he stumbles upon an computer shop, with Persocom’s in it.

Getting his hopes up he looks at the price and makes a scene in front of everyone embarrassing himself. As he walks back he thinks to himself about how useful an Persocom would be when he stumbles across one in the street.
