AI Ga Tomaranai

AI Ga Tomaranai (A・Iが止まらない！) is a manga by Ken Akamatsu serialized in Shōnen Magazine, published in Japan in nine volumes between 1994 and 1997, and subsequently republished in eight volumes. The title is a play on words, on the one hand AI is the acronym for "artificial intelligence", which refers to the story; on the other, ai is "love" in Japanese, and the title could be translated as "Love Won't Stop".

It has been exported to countries such as the United States (under the title AI Love You) and France (AI non-stop).

Plot

The manga tells the story of Hitoshi Kōbe, a boy who doesn't excel in sports or studies, so he doesn't do very well at school. However, he is a computer genius and has created programs with the property of rewriting themselves, in other words, artificial intelligence. To date, he has created thirty shows, and his latest (called Number Thirty or Nanba Saati, ナンバー サーティ, "number 30" in English) is a simulation of a girl, so advanced that, in conversation, she is indistinguishable from a normal girl.

However, there is still a barrier that separates Hitoshi from Thirty, which is that he is in the real world and she is a program. However, that barrier is broken when, during a storm, a short circuit occurs that transfers Thirty to the real world, where she becomes Hitoshi's girlfriend.
