About the author
Peach-Pit
186?books270?followersPeach-Pit (ピーチ?ピット Pīchi Pitto) is a female manga artist duo in Japan, made up of Banri Sendo (千道 万里 Sendō Banri) and Shibuko Ebara (えばら 渋子 Ebara Shibuko). Their group name derives from the diner hangout Peach-Pit from the TV show Beverly Hills, 90210. Although both have similar styles, with some artwork it is possible to identify which artist drew it. Both are known for their bishōjo styled works. As noted in their books, they are both Geminis and have "Almost flushed our phones down the toilet...twice."
The two of them grew up together and went to the same elementary school and have been best friends ever since. Both started as doujinshi manga artists, but not as Peach-Pit. Then they were scouted by Dengeki Comic Gao!. In 2008, one of their manga, Shugo Chara!, was awarded the Kodansha Manga Award for best children's manga. Shugo Chara was also turned later into an Anime television series.

This is the first Manga i have ever read. I dont really know how i feel about it. It was enjoyible, but it felt also a bit weird because of the order. Sometimes it felt like i was missing some pages or something, but that wasnt the case.
I bought volume 1 and 2 at the market today, so im planning on reading the second one as well. Dont know if im going to continue after that.

...it's like Chobits with aliens. And lots more fanservice. But the library has more, so I'll see if it goes anywhere interesting.

Ren and Miu are quite cute, and the concept is interesting. What do they mean by zero number? There is plenty of humor as well. There is a good bit of fan service too, but the characters seem to be deeper than that. Except for the Spanish teacher...

This manga is amazing, I'll tell you why.
I had so much deep emotions from reading this story and it is one of my favourite manga. The concept is similar to Chobits and A.I Love You!, but I prefer Dears the best.
The story is about alien spieces called the Dears coming to Earth on a friendly visit. The aliens attend normal high school and do home-stay.
What I really liked about it is that everything happened in agreement and understanding of both sides, usually stories about aliens and their purpose seems strange but in this story I find the purpose to be very sane.
Dears are actually slaves in their original planet, this part of the story I find really deep and sympthaizing (I'll explain why), but before coming to earth they learned human language, science, ethics and try to act normally, but their slave nature is still there.
The main character is Ren, a beautiful defect alien who wasn't meant to come to earth like the rest of the trained aliens, but she comes by mistake and is discovered thrown in the street by Takeya, the male main character whose a high school student. He found her lost and took her in and took care of her, and since she wasn't trained on the way of the human world, she treated him as her master when he didn't understand what was going on.
The story is really deep, fun, innocent and sad, and the art is beautiful! I love their big eyes! It makes them look more innocent!
What really touched me in this story is the meaning of love, existence and innocence.
The Dears had their own brains, their own stances, but they are willing to be slave to be loved and remembered. They feel they are worth something as long as they try to satisfy their masters. There were deep moments in which even the trained Dears exposed how they really feel and their past.
I realized that even as humans we might tend to act like them, to care for our loved ones and worrying of losing them and giving them all we've got, the concept of Dears are not really that kind of slaves for torture and humiliation, it's more like the feeling of containing and belonging.
Yes, the characters look sexual, but that what makes it more sad to me. Despite their sexy appearance, and their submissive attitude, but they are still shown that they have lots of deep emotions and thoughts inside more than the outside appearance.
When reading or watching a work, especially manga and anime, I always try to look inside the characters, their feelings and thoughts, even if it's a sexy concept. I know many sexy mangas would probably not have more depth into them, but this one has meaning.
This story is one of the best reads that made me actually think and left me with a big impact in my life. I just instantly cry when I see and think of the Dears, this is one of the saddest stories I've read. It is fun, cute, sexy, innocent, like usual manga theme, but it has such deep messages that make it really emotional and sad in a good way.

Let me tell you about this series. I love it.
It was mostly the characters that drew me in-they're all interesting and although very different. They're also very pleasing to the eye-no generic anime/manga character art here.
Now, I'm going to contrast it with another popular and well-known manga it's been compared to a lot, and which a lot of people think is very similar (it's not).
Chobits. In Chobits, like in DearS, there is a main female character who has no memory of prior events and is discovered by the main male character. That's one of the only 2 similarities I could find.
As far as Character Development goes, DearS has a lot more. The main male character is given a lot more backstory, spotlight, and motivations. This is actually the case for almost all the characters. In Chobits they just aren't fleshed out very well.
DearS is much, much funnier (I'm not claiming Chobits fails at humor or anything, there's just not a lot of it at all.)
Ren, for all her calling Takeya "master" Ren is a lot more independent and participates in the storyline more. Her relationships outside of the main character are developed more.
Other points-DearS are aliens, and as such are treated equally from the start (whether they like it or not), unlike in Chobits where one of the major themes is that Personocoms are not just servants, but emotionless robots/dolls. By not having to deal with the whole are-robots-the-same-as-people thing a lot more psychological and emotional issues are dealt with.
Anyway, just give DearS a try. Although I love both Chobits and DearS, I find DearS to be the best. Thank you for reading my tl;dr review ^_^

I don't know why, but I was reminded of Chobits when I read DearS. Maybe it's how Takeya found Ren and how she called him "master" upon waking up. Maybe it's the obstacles Takeya and Ren had to overcome to be together. Maybe it's because of the cute, ecchi theme going on. I don't know, and I don't really care! I loved Chobits and I love DearS! The concept might not be original or complicated (although there are mysteries about the DearS Takeya had to solve and a few action scenes) but I think that's what makes it so endearing. It's for light, happy-happy reading!

First published in January 2005 by Tokyopop.
Chobits with aliens in the sense of “born sexy yesterday”, Child like mind, and twin tail hair. Fan service with some horrid art style choices that Peach pit is known for. You can have a beautifully illustrated page that is roughly undercut by a hideous stick figure bleating out an emotion. Can I make a quick note about how terrible the name of this manga series is. 欧宝娱乐 had no clue what DearS was and whenever you try to read their name you have no idea how to pronounce it. Is it dears? Is it deer-ess? Why not give the race a unique name. The eyes are what really make this a beautiful story but my god the faces are sometimes incredibly creepy.
He saves a blue haired alien and she establishes a link with him to be his slave. He names her Ren and she lives with him. She is literally too stupid to eat. The cliché Japanese fan service gets really annoying as you age because I swear the random boob grabs are just infuriating. Through alien technology and maybe being part computer she finally learns the language. The aliens crashed on earth but don’t have the tools to repair it and earth isn’t advanced enough to help. I can’t help myself though the characters are incredibly cute. After a while it gets kind of endearing that Ren doesn’t know how to do things like dress right in public or clean. She soon joins the school as an exchange student because of course she does.

Going to review the entire series with this entry.
READ THIS MANGA. Despite its bawdy outward appearance and lackluster anime adaptation, the DearS series is a true hidden gem in the world of manga. This is the only harem series I consider worth reading.
Many people give this series a low rating without reading the whole thing because it starts off similarly to CLAMP’s Smash-hit Chobits. This is a shame because the stories diverge significantly from each other by the middle of the second book.
DearS’ characters are larger-than-life. Takeya is the angriest harem protagonist you’ll ever see. Miu is overly brash and obnoxious. Ms. Mitsuka’s perversion knows no limits. Nia is... Nia. And yet, the authors have a way of making you care for these wacky weirdos. For every corny boob joke DearS dishes out, there’s a touching moment to tug at the heartstrings. This is because, at its core, DearS is a story about growing up and grappling with adult feelings, a theme it carries well.
DearS is drawn in a looser style than most modern manga, which some readers do not like. Personally, I think the visual style looks very dreamlike and beautiful, feeling as floaty as a magical girl story at times. Pacing and panel arrangements are among the best I’ve ever seen.
If you don’t mind fanservice and want a manga that’s funny and full of heart, this is a series you should not pass up!

I read the first couple volumes of this series in like...2005, probably? A friend was starting to collect them so I read a few, and then didn't keep up with the series. Over the past few years, when I started to fill in the gaps of my manga collection where I hadn't collected/finished collecting series from years before, I grabbed the entire series from thriftbooks.
It's a pretty similar overall boy-meets-alien/robot/etc. girl concept to Chobits, but the rest of the plot has been quite different. There's also a lot more fanservice and focus on different heavy concepts (like slavery).
The teacher is a predator and I hate her, even more so as a teacher myself, but also just as a normal, sane adult. Takeya has some good moments where he says and does the right thing, but he's honestly such a dick. I like Ren, Miu, and Khi, but there are so many obnoxious and sus characters (the teacher, Takeya's sister) that I'm grateful each volume is a pretty quick read.
I'm four volumes in as I write this and don't feel like stopping to review for each one, so I'll probably do a full-series one when I finish them all.

There are 8 volumes to this series plus a fan book. If you wanted an introduction to manga, this wouldn't be a bad choice; it has most of the regular ingredients (fanservice, brother-sister interaction, rom-com plot line, absent parents, etc.). At times it is silly, at others times it is dull, and occasionally it is touching. The touching parts earn my score which is nearer to 3.5 than to 4. Skip the fan book.

It's cute and funny. With a little bit of mystery and a possibility for romance.

The series basically starts out as a cross between Rizelmine and Chobits. Some aliens have crashlanded in Japan and have been accepted into Japanese society. They are all intelligent and attractive but one in particular is found by Takeya, a high-school student (much the same way Chi was found abandoned in Chobits volume 1).
She attaches herself to him and at his house he ends up putting her in his closet (just as in Rizelmine). His secret is discovered, however. She doesn't seem to know how to behave properly (again, like in Chobits), and he's not exactly nice to her (as in Rizelmine.)
There is also a very horny female teacher who likes to show off her body to her students.
The artwork is good, but the story so far is so similar to the other two that it's actually distracting. I'll have to wait for future volumes and see if the series finds a way to make it's own home.

It's a book that fetishes slavery (while pretending it's more of bondage idea, which is handled poorly in this anyway). It's pretty much a male heterosexual slave-girl fantasy desperately pretending it's deeper than it is...
That being said...
It's kinda hilariously bad and might be worth checking out at least once. If yer sense of humor is like mine (twisted and bleak) - you'll be laughing at how idiotically sexist and ignorant the series is as a whole.
It's sorta like a really dumb sexed up Chobits.

Just another typical "male protagonist with the personality of a sponge stumbles on doll-like, submissive to the point of defining herself as his slave, girl with the face of a 12 year old and the tits of a porn star, who immediately latches herself to him and wants nothing but to be close to him, serve him, and make his mates envious of him" manga.
At least, the art is pretty, but I swear to god, I am tired of reading these stories.

First off: What is with the teacher. Not cool. Ren is an okay character and her learning to live in Japan could have been interesting if she wasn't hidden in Takeya's home for a lot of this instalment. She really doesn't understand boundaries. The story lacks substance and still has a lot to explain. Oh, and the only character I really liked was Neneko, the landlady's daughter.

I saw the anime before I read the manga but it was so well done that I decided to see what extra things I could get from the manga. I've got through vol.3 and plan on reading the next two.

Fan service overdose! Not the most original of stories but still a good read.

November 2, 2013
I loved this. I can't wait to read the second volume. Hopefully I can find it at Goodwill as well.
May 27, 2014
So far, I've discovered that this would be a good manga for those who enjoy Chobits, since the story seems very similar, just aliens instead of robots. I really enjoyed it. :)
March 28, 2015
It was good but it really reminded me of Chobits. I'll definitely finish the series though. It's quite funny.

It is just like Chobits
