Of course the perfect boyfriend is a robot. This anime has become a live action melodrama on Fuji TV, with Hayami Mokomichi as the dreamy robot with Johnny-su hair. Thanks, Yoko, for introducing us! Lots more photos here. Does anyone know if there’s fansub translations?
Here’s the preview:

Thank you, Saltine. I *am* lucky to be living here in Tokyo. It makes the USA seem so third world.
Thanks for the reference to Sars fansub. I just saw the first one!

I gulped down all 4 episodes that have been fan subbed. I somehow believe it’s improving my Japanese.
For the other Zettai Kareshi fans out there, I have one question: do you find it unlikely that the lead female character has prized feminine chastity and human romance? Despite many offers from the dreamy robot!!
I cannot imagine anyone resisting Hayami Mokomichi. Maybe there is a relationship between social demands for feminine chastity and women’s fantasies about Boys Love.
Any opinions out there?!

Thanks, onigiri sensei for your blog details about Hayami Mokokomichi (aka, mocomoco). I was especially interested in his being half Japanese and half Filipino. That rocks. I added some info from your blog to my update:
