Quote from 7godeohs
Love Hina was one of my first manga so it holds a place in my heart - seems like most of it was executed to perfection. I prefer Love Hina over Negima and probably would regardless of what's happening in Negima - but it doesn't help that Negima is ending so soon and abruptly. There was still a lot of potential there that won't ever be tapped into.
Pretty much how I feel, though I have yet to try out Negima.
Love Hina is a pioneer in the Harem genre, & although it gives off a gag vibe, there is an actual continuous story in it that is hard to match.
