''I Dream of Mimi'' (or ''Buttobi CPU'') is a Japanese {{Manga}} and {{OVA}} series created by Kaoru Shintani. It's about a nerdy student named Akira Takaoka who saved money to buy a new personal computer, only to find out that they're sold out. Then he buys what he believes to be the same model in a box from a shady man in an alley, only to find out that it's actually a bio-android who looks like a young lady. Even worse, she'll require his active molecules to refresh her memory.

The {{manga}}, written and illustrated by Kaoru Shintani, was published by Hakusensha in ''Young Animal'' magazine. The [=OVAs=] were produced by studio Pink Pineapple under director Masamitsu Hidaka and published in 1997. Only three [=OVAs=] were created, with a total runtime of 83 minutes.

!!The OVA provides examples of:
* BridalCarry: Happens in the first episode, where Akira carries Mimi to the bathroom and hide from a rogue android. He even tells that she's light for a RobotGirl, presumably because of the advanced technology or body frame used in creating her.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Serves as Mimi's BerserkButton, as she doesn't like it when Akira gets a bit close to other women.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Forte. At first, she's thought of being an antagonist to the main characters, but her situation tells otherwise, and at the end, she becomes close with Akira and Mimi.
* DeusSexMachina: Mimi was designed as a {{Sexbot}}, constantly needing Akira's semen to refresh her physical data.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Even the girls at Akira's school fawn over Mimi, who is posing as his distant cousin from Colombia. They're totally unaware that she's a robot.
* EyeCatch: These are shown halfway through episodes, featuring the ''Buttobi CPU'' logo and Mimi in a fanservicey position.
* FieryRedhead: For a RobotGirl, Mimi is quite feisty.
* GirlInABox: Mimi, initially. Akira didn't realize the 'computer' he got was actually a gynoid.
* GodivaHair: Mimi's hair covers her breasts very often.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Performa only appears in the third and final OVA.
* LIsForDyslexia: If only Akira had noticed the way the number was printed on the box, never mind the fact that the 'computer' weighed more than he did.
* MsFanservice: All the gynoids get some fanservice, but Mimi and Quadra qualify for this title the most. The former gets the most naked scenes, while the latter has generous curves and a dress to show them off.

* NoEnding: Similar to a lot of {{Eroge}} series of the 80's and 90's, the series was done as a quick series of [=OAV=].

* {{Sexbot}}: Mimi was designed as one, due to a manufacturing oversight. She also constantly needs Akira's semen to refresh her physical memory.
* TakeThat: The OVA has a pretty clear potshot at Apple, with evil Macs who want to take over the Japanese computer market, named after the codenames for the Mac family of the then-present.

* EvenGirlsWantHer: Even the girls at Akira's school fawn over Mimi, who is posing as his distant cousin from Colombia. They're totally unaware that she's a robot.
