The real DearS transfer student, the proud and uber-polite Myu, is pissed that Ren has usurped her position at Takeya's high school and insists on a competition to determine who is the more worthy DearS to continue at the school. Ren wins, but both girls end up staying anyway. Thus begins the life of Takeya festooned by women, Ren, his slave, Myu, her alien Earth mentor, and Neneko, the daughter of Takeya's landlady and his childhood friend. All seems idyllic and blissful until the arrival of a DearS agent who has been charged to bring Ren back to the community as a defective slave. She'll have to learn free will if she is to adequately express to the rest of the DearS that she wants to stay with her new master, Takeya.
I highly recommend this manga, or any other in the series. I find them highly amusing, and I'm sure you will too!
Very Generic Plotline, but with an ok twist

This manga, DearS, is very similiar to every other "boy finds robot/alien/whatever girl" type of a story... where the predictable quasi-girl acts as some kind of a temptress and the guy is not like any man on this planet, and somehow, through stupidity usually, acts like a jerk to the girl. So, with that in mind, this is almost like every other manga ever made... Chobits, Saber Marionette J, Mahoromatic, AI Love You, Tenchi, and the list goes on. If you like those types, then this may be worth the read. But, I mean, if you were able to read all those I listed above and still not become sick of this genre. This story has some very weird parts of the story where you may have no clue what is going on, but like every story that follows that same general plot, it has some interesting stories and character interactions. As well, I give a thumbs-up to the art... probably a little bit more risque than the recommended 13 and over, but still good.
