Chobits: Volume 5: Disappearance contains four episodes, 19-22. The episodes are titled: "Chi Assists," "Chi Disappears," "Chi Waits," and "Chi Hopes."



Chi and Hideki help Miss Manager do some heavy-duty spring cleaning. Hideki comes upon a strange room filled with cables. Sumomo gets electrocuted on one of the cables. We learn a big secret about the landlord. She is not the simple, helpful lady she appears to be.



On her way to work, Chi finds the third book in the mysterious series, "A Town With No People." While she is looking at the book, she is grabbed from behind. When Hideki comes home from prep school, he is frantic and desperate to find not only a dark apartment, but a phone call from Chi's boss saying she never made it to work.



With the help of Minoru, Chi's boss and Shinbo (who manages to tear himself away from his steamy elopement to help Hideki) some detective work on the computer and the Internet may have located Chi - but is it too late?



It is hard to believe that there is only one volume left of this wonderful, charming series.
