Love Hina



Yea, this is also one of the other mangas I have read recently...

So Love Hina tells of the story of Urashima Keitaro, an accident prone guy who accidently stumbles into his grandmother's inn, not knowing that it was now an all-female dorm. Clumsy as he is, he ends up unintentionally touching some one's breast, or stumbling into the hot spring, or even pulling down their pants...

Keitaro is a 2nd year ronin, he has been taking exams to enter Tokyo University (Todai) for 3 years, failing twice, and this is his third time taking it. He wants to enter Todai to fulfill a promise it made 15 years ago to a girl whose name he doesnt even remember. Naru is trying to enter Todai for the first time, all seems well for her as she got national first for the practice exams...

other characters include Haruka (Keitaro's aunt), Kitsune (a freelance worker), Motoko (a kendo girl), Kaolla (a princess of Todai(country in Pacific, nt sure if real)) and Shinobu (usually the "maid" of the house),

overall its a fun experience reading the manga, the girls sooner or later develops affection for Keitaro, whether consciously or not, other non-tenants, including Mitsumi and Konnako also falls for Keitaro (typical manga...X3) the later being the adopted sister of Keitaro...talk about weird...that's how Japanese are really, they get all sorts of weird ideas...to think they invented the toaster...

what probably affected me most was Naru, and later Keitaro's efforts on studying....i sure wish i had their drive, both target Todai due to promises that they made, and they strife to keep the promise...the way they study is real..how to say...it really sorta challenged me to out do myself...it made me wonder why i should work hard for my SPM and I thought, its my last chance to get a straight A, so might as well try my best and not regret it...though i wont go as far as them to actually study 48 hours non-stop, reading flashcards on the train..that I think is lifeless...
