  2. Although I liked few of the chapters, Keitarou is starting to get on my nerves I just hope he will evolve somehow and won t be that dumb forever D I liked the Valentine chapter very much I just wish my bf could make that kind of cake D D D Anyway, as I don t remember what happened next, I am interested in if they make it into the university I don t think Naru is Keitarou childhood friend and I hope I am not mistaken because if yes, well, I don t like these kind of coincidences happening in the s [...]

  3. Kan Akamatsu is a clever artist The story is rather simplistic Boy sees girl naked, girl hits boy with a roundhouse punch or kicks him in between the legs and sends him flying Nose bleeds follow But if you can get past the Japanese idea of teen comedy, the artwork is very engaging Negima his later work is a much better story.

  6. More of the same Keitaro being an idiot and the girls tolerating him Shinobu s character annoys me slightly because she s too meek It s ridiculous, she gets offended at the tiniest things and goes off to cry I mean I get that s the character development but its a bit frustrating Keitaro is possibly one of the least likeable main characters I have ever encountered They show nothing but his bad sides Hopefully his good ones will come out soon.

  7. I ve just read a couple of these volumes one after the other and they have kinda all rolled into one Keitaro gets into perverted mishaps in this one but the girls are starting to worm to him Well apart from Naru who spends most of the book pissed off at him for one reason or another Not as good as the first one but moves the story along nicely.

  10. The nonsensical slapstick fanservice begins to calm down to make room for genuine personality development of the residents of Hinata House Keitaro begins to suspect Naru really is the girl from his childhood, but will any of that matter if he becomes a third year ronin I does make me cringe how pathetic Keitaro is at times, but the other characters make up for it.

  11. The second installment in the Love Hina series is much funnier than the first The story begins to center around the main character s childhood promise and less around the fact that he is a pervy boy ronin living in a house full of girls In this novel we find out who the girl from his past is now.

  15. Actual rating 2.5 stars More of the same Slapstick and sexual awkwardness At least I was given something to root for in this volume As much as I m unimpressed with these characters I can feel the desire to see them succeed.

  16. This book is basically the same as the first volume, except perhaps MORE nudity I did like the minor development of characters and the first big exam It gave the story a sense of progression, even if everything else is going at a snail s pace.
