Typically manga tends to develop much more lengthy plots, which at times can seem redundant and filler-ish. Love Hina is certainly no different. The characters often find themselves out of Tokyo on strange side story arcs. Many of those side arcs-for those of you who watched the anime-were made into specials, or completely ignored. Now, while I am not writing a review on the anime, I can almost guarantee you that these side story arcs are much more lengthy and definitely more enjoyable in the manga. So, while some of the arcs do seem like fillers, at times, they more funny than the actual plot. Furthermore, the manga uses these arcs to develop all of the awesome characters.

Often the problem with harem is that the readers are often split apart in who they want to end up with the lead. However, while each character in Love Hina comes to love Keitaro, they end up supporting him and Naru. Thus, even if Naru is not your favourite character, it is hard to be disappointed with Naru and Keitaro.

The Art is outstanding for a harem. It's not outstanding because it's particularly original. However, it is clear, and consistent. The details in the background, as well is the characters are carefully done and full of detailed. As a side note, the clothes they wear are also very cute (and of course, so are the character designs) :>

Anyone who enjoys harem, or even romantic-comedy, should read Love Hina, as it is a classic. read more
