The obnoxious amount of hitting and misunderstandings in this manga make it almost unreadable. Like the way naru is your typical "beat his ass now and don't even give him a millisecond of time to explain himself later" character, it makes it even worse. Honestly except for shinobu and Suu and the MC, I literally think that every other woman in this manga is a bitch. Now, I haven't finished this yet so maybe by the end of this manga all those girls become complete saints and are the best females in the world, but until then as far as I'm concerned except for the three people I mentioned earlier everybody else is in abusive, bipolar sorry excuse of a human waste of sperm. I mean honestly, who wants to read a manga where the MC is just constantly battered on made fun of physically and emotionally abused, but just acts like everything is okay and ignores all of it. I get that this manga is old and back then this was the most popular romance plot line back then, but reading it now just makes me so mad. so like I said before, unless all these girls become saints by the end of this manga, except for the people that I mentioned every other girls a bitch.

And now that I've vented out all of my aggression towards this manga I feel satisfied, my statement has been made.

Also @Bluee I think I lost my last 2 braincells trying to read that shit.

Classic, enjoyable read. It does get repetitive, admittedly. One step forward ten steps back in terms of progress.

Yooo the cover is one hell of a spoiler

 

[mangadexuser00]

@Cerisine yeah, was about to comment that. fortunately i already knew the ending, so that cover image was fine with me. but, yes, definitely a spoiler for newcomers.

By itself, a fun harem that brags itself for far too long. The story drags on for far too long despite the romance question being obviously solved. In particular near the middle, most chapters are fillers to sell more copies rather than develop the story. This drag means the story is best read a couple chapters at a time rather than binged. Development picks up again in the final third.

Character development is strong. Keitaro begins the story as a complete loser, a pitiable existence of a human being. Throughout the story, he becomes a fantastic character to be looked up to. He also does this while remaining the same clumsy and happy guy at his core. Other characters also go their own arcs that leave them better people than before.

Despite being nominally harem, its really a romcom. By the first quarter its already clear who's going to win and true harem hijinks don't begin until the reader knows who will win. This allows each character to develop themselves as more than harem candidates for Keitaro and instead be independent characters in their own right. When they lose the harem battle, the reader knows these characters have lives they can keep living.

The manga's is timeless, barring its text. Each page is a wall of text that makes reading through good chapters great and bad chapters a drag. Each chapter has two or three chapters worth of text. Otherwise, the artwork holds up surprisingly well, even if clearly aged. The story itself remains fresh and exciting seeing Love Hina became a classic.

Its best to read and study Love Hina simultaneously. The story by itself is fine, but the influence this manga had on the harem genre is unmistakable. The amount of works that are derivatives of this format leave Love Hina as a classic to be studied, to see where this harem came from. Its not the best harem, even from this time period, but its good this model was selected as the one by future author rather than other harem formats.

7/10.

I'm not sure you'll ever see this but I just want you to know I just recently began reading manga about half a year ago, I just picked this series up and read it in 2 days. That being said it's a read I'll never forget, despite being a troupe filled echhi / harem the story never failed to make you really feel. So many modern harems and ecchi modeled after love hina are heartless and soulless. But not once did love Hina feel that way, I truly cared for all of the characters the entire time and was invested with their relationships. All of that to say, yes a modern reader can still enjoy this classic.

Hope this finds you well

An ok at best series that apparently pioneered alot of the annoying tropes that are seen in the modern harem genre.

You mean you don't like "domestic violence: the comedy manga"?

 

[Tony_Mushah]
