This manga is one of my favorite ones. Love Hina is a wonderful read, and after watching the anime and not feeling satisfied with that, I decided to read the manga. I rarely ever enjoy manga as much as I did with Love Hina. It was short, but it was packed with story and character development. I will always remember it.

Story: 9
The story in Love Hina is hilariously crazy and sweetly romantic, at the same time. It has ups and downs, but overall is a very well-developed story and although it starts off a bit strangely, it quickly becomes a memorable one with funny scenes and romantic moments all packed together. Some of the funny parts are so crazy that I found myself in tears from laughing. Sometimes it did get a little too crazy, and at times, it was even a little repetitive (especially Naru's punches and the ecchi scenes), but one thing is for sure: the romance between the main couple did develop well, even though both were initially nervous and reluctant to admit their feelings.

Art: 10
The art is amazing, to be direct. The art in Love Hina is some of the cleanest and cutest, yet also detailed, manga art I have seen in a romantic comedy manga. The shading is especially beautiful, and each character design is fitting for the character. The backgrounds are nice, too. I admire Akamatsu's art.

Character: 9
If this manga series doesn't have great character development, then smack me. Unlike lots of romantic comedy harem manga, each character is developed fully. Sure, the girls fall for the harem cliche personality types sometimes, especially Naru (dat tsundere), but I was able to let it slide. Whatever the case is, each character has a unique and charming personality. I grew attached to each one, even Keitaro.

Enjoyment: 10
So, I basically enjoyed the daylights out of this series. Not much to be said, other than I really loved it.

Overall: 10
Like I already stated, this manga is great on multiple levels. It's a shame this manga isn't as popular now as it was a few years ago, but no matter what, I will always hold on to this series. I overlooked it at first because it was an ecchi harem kind of manga, but after enjoying the anime (although I don't think it's anywhere as good as this), I decided to read the manga. I'm happy I did.
