The original Japanese title, A・I が止まらない! (A.I. ga Tomaranai!), is a play on words. While it literally means "A.I. Won’t Stop!" the word "A.I." has several meanings. Besides being the acronym for artificial intelligence, it is also the Japanese word for "love" ( ai?) and the Japanese transcription of the English word "I" (アイ ai?). TOKYOPOP does their best to recreate this pun with their US release of the series. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Backronym and Apronym (Discuss) Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations, such as NATO, laser, and ABC, written as the initial letter or letters of words, and pronounced on the basis of this abbreviated written form. ...

Story

The story centres around Hitoshi Kōbe, a guy who is neither academically gifted nor good at sports, so he does not do very well at school.


Hitoshi has only one thing going for him - his ability to program computers. In fact, he is so good at this he has created programs that can rewrite themselves - Artificial Intelligence, in other words. So far he has created thirty of these programs, and the latest - whom he names Saati ( The Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Thirty" )- is so advanced that conversation with her is indistinguishable from a normal girl and, thus, would easily pass the Turing test. AI redirects here. ... For the Doctor Who novel named after the test, see The Turing Test (novel). ...


However, there is still the barrier of Hitoshi being in the physical world and Saati being a program, until one day a freak lightning strike materializes her into the real world, where she becomes the girlfriend of Hitoshi. Not to be confused with lighting. ...


The series then follows their now not so ordinary lives, as well as other A.I.s of Hitoshi's creation. The basic plotline is derivative of the Kōsuke Fujishima manga Oh My Goddess!, with the AI constructs being analogous to the goddess characters of the earlier manga. The setting also bears similarities to the John Hughes film Weird Science. Both feature male protagonists creating their ideal girlfriends on computers and both girls are brought into the real world via lightning, bearing somewhat superhuman powers. Despite these obvious similarities however, Akamatsu claims not to have seen the film prior to creating the series. Kosuke Fujishima Kōsuke Fujishima , born July 7, 1964) is a Japanese manga artist. ... For other uses, see Oh My Goddess. ... For other people with this name, see John Hughes. ...

Main characters

Hitoshi Kobe (神戸 ひとし KŌBE Hitoshi?)

Hitoshi is a freshman high-school student (in 1994) at Watashiro High School who underachieves at school both physically and academically. One of his few strengths is his ability to program, and create artificial intelligences, and he eventually created programs Twenty and Thirty - programs so real that conversations with them are indistinguishable from conversation with normal girls.
Through a series of freak lightning accidents, both programs are transferred to the real world, and become a greater part of the life of Hitoshi.

Saati Namba (ナンバー サーティ Nanbā Sāti?)

Saati is the thirtieth A.I. program Hitoshi created, and is the first program that Hitoshi really liked and could really talk to.
Through a freak lightning accident she is transferred to the real world, and becomes Hitoshi's live-in girlfriend. In the real world she takes the family name "Namba", a valid surname in Japan. In Japanese naming order her name, Namba Saati, is based on the Engrish pronunciation of "Number Thirty" (Nanbā Sāti).
A kind girl, size data 82-58-85 cm (32¾"-23"-34") with thick eyebrows ( A trait Akamatsu admitted to liking on women, citing Sae Isshiki as an example), and a bit naive, which does lead to frequent problems with Hitoshi. The most notable of which is that when she cooks meals she has the tendency to make them look exactly like the picture, regardless of the taste (having no taste buds), using everything from paint to colored markers until she receives a program upgrade that allows her to taste.

Toeni Namba (ナンバー トゥエニー Nanbā Tōenī?) An example of Engrish on clothing. ... Sae Isshiki (一色 紗英; b. ...

Toeni (or "Toni" in the TOKYOPOP translation) is Hitoshi's A.I. Program No. 20 (Nanbā Tōenī "Number Twenty"). He based her face on Kimika Aso, the breasts on Reiko Satou, her butt on Ai Iijima, and her legs on Chisato Moritaka, giving her the measurements of 86-59-88 cm (34½"-23½"-35"). However, despite the fact she worked, she teased him a little too much, and though the teasing was good-natured he couldn't handle it in addition to the pressures of school, so he stored her away.
Due to another freak lightning accident Toeni is also brought into the real world, where she too stays with Hitoshi just like Saati ( Who refers to Toni as onee-sama, the Japanese term for "big sister").

Forty Namba (ナンバー フォーティ Nanbā Fōti?) For the music movie, see Tokyo Pop. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ... Ai Iijima ) (born 31 October 1972 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese media personality. ... This December 2006 does not cite its references or sources. ...

Forty is Hitoshi's A.I. Program No. 40 (Nanbā Fōti "Number Forty"), and the first he brought to life on purpose (sort of). Created using both C and Assembly Language, he/she is more powerful than Saati and Toeni combined. Saati and Toeni snuck a before-it-was-ready look at this new A.I., agreed on an age, twelve, and then argued about the gender and personality and pressed too many buttons at once. The end result was an A.I. that had two modes: a male personality and a female personality within a female body. When Forty-kun, the boy, said "girl", he became Forty-chan, the girl; when Forty-chan said "boy", she became Forty-kun. While each has presumably heard of the other's existence there are only two instances shown in which Forty-chan has some consciousness of Forty-kun; mostly each is blithely unaware of the other.
Forty-kun describes himself as a hard-line conservative who is not interested in Hitoshi's porn-based hobbies, an anal-retentive neat-freak, a self-righteous good boy, with a taste for the nicer things in life - Saati's personality choice. Forty-chan describes herself as sensual party girl with a taste for the wild side of things, even going so far as to seduce Hitoshi by using a Hyper Program Option to give herself a more mature body - Toeni's personality choice. Saati wanted a nice little sister, and Toeni wanted a naughty little brother; they both got exactly what they wanted in one form.
Forty-kun got it into his head that he wanted to go to school, so he was enrolled in class 1-C in what looks like Jr. High and, convenient for the manga-ka, located in the same building as Hitoshi and Saati's High School.
Ken Akamatsu has said that Forty-chan became a character model for Kaolla Su from Love Hina.

She use to have a crush on Hitoshi since he wanted to marry her when they grew up - even having a sense of rivalry with Saati - but now sees Hitoshi and Saati as the resort's "honeymoon couple".

Yuko Watanabe (渡辺 裕子 WATANABE Yūko?)

A library representative in Hitoshi's high school who is referred to as the "Madonna of the Library"; her shy and quiet nature compliment her 90-cm (36") D-cup bust. Not very good at computers, she tricks Hitoshi and Saati into infecting the school database with a virus she mocked up. When Saati defeats the virus, which plumped up the measurement data of every girl in school to D-cups, Yūko admits she is really a 78-cm (31") A-cup who padded twelve centimeters (5") to her chest to gain the attention of boys, and needed to overwrite her official measurement data to avoid being found out.

When she learned that the school was scheduled to be demolished, she started an online diary in order to find her last students or allow them to find her. Unfortunately, she died in February 1996 before she could do so; fortunately, Hitoshi came across it one month later while looking for more explicit online diaries.
Her diary address accidentally downloaded onto a floppy disk that Hitoshi gave to Saati to backup her memory, Saati became "possessed" by Sayo's "ghost". They discovered the identity of Saati's "previous life", Sayo's granddaughter ( Her name is unmentioned in the manga ), the school, the diplomas, and the students, now grandparents themselves.

The good news is that nobody, including Namako himself, noticed anything unusual; the bad news is Hitoshi still had to rewrite all the data that was erased, except better to match what was presented at the trade show.

Program Options

Hitoshi's A.I. programs come with various options in terms of configuration and function. They have a much more profound effect in the real world.

  • Default Program Option: Hitoshi invoked this on his laptop, early Christmas morning 1995, to give Saati a present of earrings. It might be considered an extension of Program Option No. 4. It is not clear which program has this option.
  • Program Option No. 1: This one allows Saati to read the contents of a floppy disk just by holding it in her hands, as well create memory backups onto floppies. Forty's Hyper Program Option allowed him/her to "read" Toeni memories while she was passed out drunk in order to find out why (why she gets drunk wasn't the matter, but this time she fondled a tanuki's crotch in public and vomited down Hitoshi's shirt).
  • Program Option No. 2: This one grants the program "maximum power", such as generating an electric shock field or a bolt of lightning. Saati once assumed control of Shibuya's entire electric grid in order to lead Hitoshi to a love hotel. Saati can also manipulate electromagnetic fields in order to magnetize metal objects, including the iron content of beach sand; Toeni once used this to animate the sand on Kujūkuri Beach into arms to grab at Saati, and projected "maximum power" into Saati to generate "maximum power overload".
  • Program Option No. 3: This one magnifies the program's sensory perception. Saati once magnified her hearing to search for Hitoshi's heartbeat, and Toeni granted herself X-ray vision to see through Saati's bathing suit to find a secret message hidden within to attempt to achieve an easy victory in a contest.
  • Program Option No. 4: This one is the appearance modifier, and can be used to create clothing and accessories for the programs to wear just from scanning a picture of it. Saati used it to manufacture money for Hitoshi to pay the bills, and a giant bra to smother Yūko Watanabe's virus. Forty's Hyper Program Option allows him/her to materialise objects in the real world, such as a giant Hinamatsuri display in the backyard complete with animated dolls with their own artificial intelligence, alter other people's clothing, and even customise his/her own body; Forty-chan used it to give herself a more mature body in an attempt to seduce Hitoshi.
  • Program Option No. 8: Saati used this in Volume 1, Chapter 1, to perform vector simulation of a soccer game to find the spot where Hitoshi should be to score a goal. In Volume 2, Chapter 16, she used it to become an ersatz sky sensor and track the apparent motion of Jupiter for an astronomy photo contest.
  • Program Option No. 9: For his first test at school Forty-kun invoked Hyper Program Option No. 9 to access the National Military Satellite System and National Defense Database to complete a test in school. While the Program Option number wasn't stated, Saati once accessed satellite navigation system to find Hitoshi's location.

Dates

  • 1980 - Yayoi's birth-year, given that she is two years younger than Hitoshi (year of the monkey).
  • 1990 - the year when a twelve-year-old Hitoshi started creating his first A.I. program. While the actual year is not stated, references within indicate that it took three years to go from A.I. Program No. 1 to A.I. Program No. 20, who (as stated below) was first created (then sealed away) in 1993.
  • 6 April 1994 - Saati Namba's birthdate (year of the dog); the date a freak lightning strike on Hitoshi Kōbe's home brought Thirty into the real world. Given she was "born" sixteen years old, her personal records may state her birth-year as 1978 (years of the horse).
  • 5 June - Hitoshi Kōbe's birthday. While the year of his birth is not stated, references within indicate that he had his sixteenth birthday after Saati's date of birth; therefore, he was most likely born in 1978 (year of the horse).
  • 5 July 1994 - Toeni Namba's birthdate (year of the dog); the date a second freak lightning strike on HItoshi's home brought Twenty into the real world. Given she was "born" twenty years old, her personal records may state her birth-year as 1974 (year of the tiger).
    • 14 July 1993 - the date of Hitoshi's last conversation with Toeni until her "birthday".
  • 25 December 1994 - Saati's first Christmas.
  • 21 March 1995 - Forty Namba's birthdate (year of the pig); the date Saati and Toeni attempted to determine Forty's characteristics and Forty came out to tell them off. Given that he/she was "born" twelve years old, his/her personal records may state his/her birth-year as 1983 (also the year of the pig).
  • 20 July 1995 - Forty-kun's first day of school; bumped into Misako Takemoto, homeroom teacher of class 1-C (Forty-kun's class), at 9:10 am (Hitoshi and Saati now in sophomore class 2-C). Given Forty-kun's age and the apparent age of his classmates it is probable that Forty-kun is enrolled in Junior High School, which is housed in the same building as Hitoshi and Saati's High School.
  • 21 April - the day when the school's measurements were taken.
  • 25 December 1995 - Saati's second Christmas.
