As much as I didn't like the anime I loved the manga. Thew manga seems to flow off the pages were the anime, for me, just set there and pretended to be Love Hina. The art shows me that there was a genuine love for the work because it is detailed and vivid. The story was interesting and kept going and kept me reading. It was a little perverted but not so much that it took away from the story, most of the time it was used for humor purposes. This was the first manga I picked up on a whim and have yet to put it down. It is defiantly worth reading.
