It was followed by a short sequel entitled Video Girl Len, published between April and July 1992.

The manga was compiled into fifteen tankōbon volumes by Shueisha and published between July 1990 and March 1993.

In 2018 a live-action television drama called Den'ei Shōjo ~Video Girl Ai 2018~ ran on TV Tokyo.

The story starts when Yota Moteuchi finds out that the girl he likes, Moemi Hayakawa, is in love with his best friend, Takashi Niimai.

However, a mysterious man related to Gokuraku, known as Rolex, enters the story and tries to recall Ai as she is faulty, and the fact that Ai's tape is nearing the end of its playing time makes matters even worse.

From this point on, the story changes focus slightly and concentrates on Yota and Ai attempting to overcome the difficulties presented by Gokuraku.

Various other complications come into the story; for example, Yota's continuing love for Moemi and his relationship with a new character, Nobuko Nizaki.

[3] Yota is the stereotypical loser, unable to declare his feelings to his unrequited love, Moemi, socially awkward, with a tendency to get nervous and clumsy around women.

Nobuko Nizaki (仁崎 伸子, Nizaki Nobuko) is a girl, one year behind Yota, who developed a crush on him in art class two years earlier and now, with Moemi and Ai temporarily sidelined, can pursue romantic ties with Yota.

Later, they engage, but Hiromu becomes too happy to pay attention to Ayumi, and they break up temporarily until he can "find her again" in his memories.

Toshiki, on the other hand, is more emotionally expressive and prone to teenage-typical reactions, like spying on Len (which makes her angry).

Eight years older than he was at the end of Video Girl Ai, Yota now teaches at an art school in the afternoon, which Hiromu and Ayumi attend.

[6][7] Shueisha compiled the 131 individual chapters into fifteen tankōbon volumes published between July 1990 and March 1993.

[14][15] The complete series was released in a second edition of all fifteen volumes in the original right to left orientation between May 2004 and April 2006.

[49] Video Girl Ai was adapted into a six-episode OVA produced by IG Tatsunoko (now Production I.G).

[50][51][52] In 2018 a live-action television drama called Den'ei Shōjo ~Video Girl Ai 2018~ ran on TV Tokyo.

The series is set 25 years after the original manga and the main character is the nephew of Yota Moteuchi.
