Love Hina

Description

When Keitaro Urashima fails his entrance exams to get into Tokyo University for the second time, he's officially an unemployed and uneducated slacker. To make things worse, his parents have kicked him out of his house. Fortunately, his grandmother owns the fabulous Hinata Lodge and has agreed to take Keitaro in as caretaker. What he doesn't know is that the lodge is actually a girl's dorm and he's the only guy around! Most guys would kill to live with five sexy ladies, but if Keitaro's not careful, this job will kill him. (From Kodansha USA)

Awesome Series

I wish I never read this series...JUST SO I COULD READ IT AGAIN WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. Honestly this series is amazing, its funny, cute and romantic. Naru and Keitarou are probably the best couple I have ever seen in manga. Insanely good series, even people who aren't into the harem genre might enjoy it. This is one of my favorite manga.

One of the BEST

Love Hina was one of the first manga I've ever read and the only one which was able to make me forget about the time completely. I was so into the story that when I started reading for the first time, I couldn't stop until i finished it which took like 24hrs without me realizing. Truly amazing. Although the storyline may not be fascinating or too appealing, its blend of romance and humor will surely be able to capture your heart.

This series was simply beautiful. I began by watching the anime and then later reading the manga, both of which were excellent. Though there were times when this manga dragged out, I still feel that the manga was too short because I really enjoyed reaing it. This manga presents a humorous, yet beautiful romance story that was well presented. I'm really surprised I was interested in this manga because I usually like more shounen-based stories, but this story is now my favorite.

this is a truly amazing manga... it has an amazingly satisfying ending, a good story line, and many funny aspects too... this manga has and will continue to set the bar for harem romance based mangas for a long time... if you ever get a chance read this manga, you will have no regrets 🙂

Fantastic Manga.. one of my favourites

Love Hina is one of the best manga's of it's genres or any for that matter. The story is bizarre and hilarious. Even with all the comedy this manga has a real deep romantic story to it which is perfect. One moment you can have two people about to kiss in the moonlight...only to be stopped by well read it to find out!!
Great fun and Great romance.

It has a great story that will make you fall in love with everyone in the it. The characters are one of the most awesome group i have ever read about. Every character is developed greatly and thoughtfully, and everyone has a purpose. It's hard to pick a favorite when everyone is so damn awesome and you'll love everything about them.

The art is also great for the story. It's well drawn and detailed, yet it looks simple and sort of unrealistic, but that's what makes this manga perfect since this manga its self is bizarre at times 🙂 . It does have ecchi moments but it doesn't take away from the romantic and comedy side of the manga (it is really hard to put it in words)

All in all, with a fantastic storyline, one of my favorite cast of characters, perfect romance, bizarrely hilarious humor, great artwork, all put into one makes this manga a total knockout. This is a must read for anyone who read romance/comedies (with a bit of ecchi), or even if it's not. this is a great read which many will come to love.

boring

I picked this up at the library a few years ago thinking it looked cool, and it was popular but it was rather boring. If you're a guy who likes harem manga then maybe its your thing but for the ladies don't bother. 😛

On the must read list for the genera

Though not perfect throughout as it had its ups and downs in story telling and the ending though not rushed felt like a race to get through, its well worth the read. It's one of those stories like Ichigo 100% and I''s that's on my must read list for this type of manga.

A bit frustrating

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

This series might have held up well at its time, but now it felt very repetetive, i think i went through the same scenario at least twice. Though when it did something new it was fun, it sadly suffers in the end though, as it kinda was one of the first ones out there doing this kind of story. Its a classic but i dont think its great its just ok.

Now that I think about it...

by asudake

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I read this about 2 and half years ago, and I gave it a 10, but now that I think about it... About 90% of the manga was a 10, the rest was either Ken Akamatsu not knowing how end his series or he had some sort of stupid meaning behind it.
(There is no need for a Spoiler Alert but If you haven't read this and you don't Like Spoiler's don't read this although skip to the last Paragraph)

The ending is what you'd expect Keitaru and ____ are ____ and they are very ____. Although that doesn't seem like such a big deal, It's as the Anime calls it "Love Hina Again" a shoujo manga basically towards the last 10% of the manga or so. So it's ___ trying to go after ___. The most frustrating thing is that the second of the aforementioned ____ has completely changed from the beginning of the Manga, and it's very depressing and misleading to those who read the manga and enjoyed it, only to find that the first 90% was pure BS and unnecessary. I give it a 10 - 1 for the Horrible 10% and that equals 9.

All in all if you want a GREAT read, read this, just if you want skip the last 20-30 chapters or so (Don't remember really) and Imagine the way you would like it to end because to me it was lacking. Anyway enjoy and Have a great day, 9!
