This is by far my favorite manga of all time. xD
Ken Akamatsu is a genius and this manga is the reason I even began reading manga.
Not only is it very compatible for guys, what with the fan service and all. But girls will also enjoy it! The story line is hilarious. And every character has a very unique essence to them which may help you relate to them much better. This allows the story to be brought to life fully, and you can easily understand the emotions of all of the characters. The art is very well done, each character looks very beautifully detailed and their appearance really fit their personalities. There's a laugh on almost every single page, and what with the fan service, it is quite a remarkable manga, with one of the most fun plots, filled with random moments that will never bore you. The ending is magnificent and anyone who doesn't enjoy the book must have been spacing out during it! How could you space out with all the beautiful girls on every page. xD This a guaranteed read over at least more than once! If you finished reading it, wait awhile and read it again! It will still make you laugh and love it!
THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS A GOOD LAUGH A LIL' ACTIONS, and ROMANCE STORIES! MY FAVORITE MANGA OF ALL TIME! read more

I love this manga. It was my first read and is still at the top of my list. The artwork lent itself well to anime translation and the writing is outstanding. I really found myself wanting to learn more and more about each of the characters all the way down to the bit-players.
Despite the violence inherent in their relationship, you can see very early on just how much Keitaro and Naru care for one another. Oh, come on...don't tell me you couldn't tell just looking at the covers! I could tell you the end and it'd still be worth reading. Don't worry, I won't...just sayin'.
I love Akamatsu-san's attention to detail. He really takes the time to delve deeper into the supporting characters. Everyone gets a chance to tell their story and give you a glimpse into who they really are.
Loser or not, you gotta love Keitaro. Lady luck just had it in for him from day one it seems...he just can't get a break! Despite all that, he's a decent guy with strong morals and the biggest heart. Of all his shortcomings, he still comes through when it really counts and that's what matters.
I think what gets me is just how well Akamatsu-san conveys the emotions of the characters. Although first impressions give a good deal of information about each of them, they all grow and change over the course of the series and in the end...well, you'll just have to read it to find out.
I know plenty of people who would laugh at a nearly-30 straight male reading something like that, but I don't care. It's a great story, funny as hell, and it really connected with me. I even shed a few tears when...LOL...don't worry. I know better. Just read it, ok?

Both protagonists are in essentially identical situations, where the main character are nearly clones of their counterparts in the series. They have the same behaviour, reactions, and similar appearance to the character(s) in the other series. Love Hina is probably more ecchi, but that's not saying Ai Kora isn't ecchi at all.
Both revolve around male protagonists who begin living amongst a number of female characters; most of which become romantically attracted to him in one shape or another. As such, romance and comedy are emphasised in both titles.
While Keitaro is often accused of being a pervert due to clumsy accidents and bad luck, Hachibei is the exact opposite: he's a bona fide pervert. This "Parts-lover" ends up, like Keitaro, at a girl's dormitory, with each of the girls there possessing one of his ideal parts. Hilarity ensues.
Both are the generic harem scenario where there is a guy surrounded by many cute girls. In Love Hina, it is more of a romance than Ai Kora (Love Collage). While Ai Kora has a more innocence sense to it. how Hachibe does everything he can to make the girls that he likes be happy. They both have this somewhat tranquility sense to it but both are great series with great unexpected endings.
A boy starts living in a dorm that consists of only GIRLS! Both series begin with the boy characters are misunderstood by the girls in the beginning that they're leeching perverts (although there is a slight difference, in Ai Kora the boy actually is a pervert but in Love Hina he isn't). Gradually over time both boys and girls in each series start developing feelings for one another and both go through a series of hilarious, heartwarming events and scenerios. If you love one, I can guarantee you'll love the other.
Its 2 guys living in a girl's dorm.
Its both harem
The girls have similarities
Action scenes are both extremely exagerated
Though, the art styleis completely different.
Ai Kora have a lot of chapters that dont advance the plot.

Both are created by Akamatsu Ken. Negima and Love Hina both start off with the harem phase but Negima quickly turns into something else while still maintaining that Love Hina feel. Some characters look strikingly similar to each other as well.
The 2 most popular Ken Akamatsu’s works. Typical harem setting, comedy, ecchi, randomness. In both manga the protagonist is a megane guy loved by most of the female cast, and in both manga the female main character is a brown-haired tsundere. The only difference is that Negima! has magic.
They both harems.They're kinda ecchi at the same time.They were both written by the same author and they're really funny and well written and drawn. Love Hina has a hopeless guy trying to find his childhood girl and Negima is a young wizard looking for his father when he meets a whole bunch of girls and goes through crazy adventure.
Same author. Lot of the same elements. And actually, a lot of the characters in this series were based on characters from Love Hina. This has a lot more action, seeing as the main character is a wizard.
If you liked Love Hina you will love Negima. Why? you ask. First the author is the same, so the story line is similar, there are similarities between them, the fact that a boy is stuck not to 5 or 6, but to 30 girls now.
For starters, they're by the same author. They both have heave romance / comedy elements, as well as being harems with lots of ecchi. The characters also have a lot of similarities. Negima is pretty much Love Hina with a some typical shounen elements, like adventure and action, and a much larger cast of characters.
