Suguru doesn't need Mahoro the same way he did as a child.  As a child, he needed her as a not only a maid, but something of a mother figure.  As an adult, Suguru doesn't really need or show any interest in either.

I'd say Dr. Memory is right. Look at what Chizu said in Vol. 7: their relationship started out as mother and son, then was more like sister and brother, then evolved to girlfriend and boyfriend.

As for whether Suguru would accept her... I don't even know how it would be possible for him to NOT accept her. She's been all he's thought about for the past twenty years. Though yes, originally Suguru was 14-15 and Mahoro was 9 with the body of a 19-year-old; now Suguru is 35 and Mahoro is 19: Suguru is almost twice as old as her.

 I didn't mean that Mahoro and Sugru's relationship didn't evolve into a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, but I felt that when he first met her, the reason he originally let her become his maid was because she made him think of his mother (I'm referring to the flashback in the tub).  I do think that Mahoro could get their relationship to work, but I feel the question is whether or not Suguru will let her back into his life.

I could believe that only Suguru's hands were cybernetic if not for the abilities that he showed in his fight against the Keepers.  Like Mahoro, he was able to form a blade of energy from his hands.  In the third volume, I believe that it is stated that Vesper could not remove this weapon from her system due to the fact that it was so closely connected to her core functions.  To me this means that Suguru was enhanced with a power source in his body.  However, I will admite that there are some points that show that this might not be the case.  While Mahoro only functioned for around a decade, Sugru has been hunting the survivors of the Keepers for twenty years.  It could be argued that this means that only his hands have been enhanced, I feel that the reason that Suguru was able to survive was that Mahoro body was purely artifial while Mahoro's was not and he kept getting replacements every couple of years.  Ryuga is also and android and he has shown to have a normal human life span.

Anime News Network did a very nice review of the entire Mahoromatic Manga series (although they were a bit down on the artwork).  If anyone is interested it can be found at

A lot of things were different toward the end of the anime because the manga hadn't been finished yet. My guess is that they share certain similarities because Nakayama/Ditama shared what they had thought up so far with Gainax, and the anime and manga both went on based on those ideas.

In the anime it seemed to be insinuated that Slash died shortly after the massacre where he killed the Keepers. I'm not sure about the manga.

And, finally, I have to say that I liked the anime's version of the story better. The manga seemed to be mainly based around the idea: "take every single American conspiracy theory (Area 51, JFK assassination, Keepers, psychic abilities, etc.) and make them into a maid story." It worked very well, but the anime toned down the conspiracy theory concepts, removing elements of Area 51 and psychic abilities all together, and episode 10, none of which was in the manga, was probably my favorite episode of season one. Overall, as ANN's review said, the anime's a better story; the manga's a more complete story.

The first few volumes of the manga were finished when the anime started production. However, Gainax had to improvise toward the end because they finished before the manga did.
