For this reason he has tried to get into the prestigious university, but has failed the entrance exam two years in a row. When his parents kick him out of the house he tries to find lodging at his Grandmother's inn, but unbeknownst to him it has been changed into an all-girls dormitory. He is allowed to stay in the position of kanrinin (dorm manager) but his clumsiness tends to land him in trouble with the girls. To achieve his dream, he studies to pass the Tokyo University exam along with Naru Narusegawa, who has her own reasons for wanting to get into Toudai.

Introduction and Plot Summary:     (Note : This may contain spoilers !!!)

The story is a shōnen comedy that takes place in the Kanagawa Prefecture, and centers on Keitaro Urashima, in his attempts to fulfill a childhood promise that he made with a girl to enterTokyo University together. However, he has forgotten the name of the girl and hopes to be accepted into Tokyo university in order to find her. Although he has already failed the entrance exam twice, he becomes manager of the family owned Hinata House (日向荘 Hinata Sō^?, also known as Hinata Apartments) which is now an all girls dorm, and must balance his new responsibilities with his attempts to pass the university entrance exam and find the girl he made the promise with. At Hinata House, Keitaro meets Naru Narusegawa, who is also studying to enter Tokyo university. Naru ranked first in the whole of Japan on the practice exams, and Keitaro convinces her to help him study. Keitaro accidentally reads a small section of Naru's diary and as the two grow closer through their studies, Keitaro becomes increasingly convinced that Naru may be the girl he made the promise with. On the second day of the Tokyo University exam, Keitaro asks Naru about the promise and is stunned when she tells him he is mistaken. Despite their studying, and Naru's mock exam results, they both fail the exams. The pair then have an argument and independently run off to Kyoto to clear their heads. While on their trip they settle their differences and meetMutsumi Otohime, who lives in Okinawa and is also studying for the Tokyo University exams.

After a break following the trip, Keitaro and Naru decide to retake the exams. Eventually Mutsumi moves to Tokyo, and the three study together. During this period, Naru becomes convinced that Mutsumi is Keitaro's promise girl, but Mutsumi states that she made a promise with Naru, not Keitaro. During the Tokyo University exmas, Keitaro believes he has failed them once again and runs away before finding out his results. Naru chases after him, and the rest of the residents of Hinata House eventually chase after them and tell them that they all passed. However, at the opening ceremony, Keitaro has an accident and is unable to attend the University. As Keitaro had missed three months of university, he chooses to study overseas with Seta. As Keitaro leaves, Naru finally confesses her true feelings to him at the airport and decides to wait for him to return.

When Keitaro returns, He and Naru finally begin to express their feelings for each other. After they deal with new obstacles, Grandma Hina returns to Hinata House and reveals Naru is the girl of Keitaro's promise. Three years later, a Wedding Ceremony is held at Hinata House for Naru and Keitaro as they finally fulfill their promise to each other.

My musings :

Love Hina is my personal favourite, I've always enjoyed romantic comedies with a little bit of ecchi thrown in, and this one's is a perfect mixture of all the required ingredients. Why i found this manga to be more appealing than others is because of its closeness to real world scenario. Keitaro's portrayal as a nerd who keeps failing in the Tokyo university's entrance exam is highly realistic. I've actually seen guys around me just like him, who always wished to go in the top universities and spend years preparing for it , but with no luck. Keitaro's shy nature, and his getting into trouble now and then is hilarious and thought provoking in itself.  

Besides Keitaro, the in depth character development of all the other female characters of the story is highly appreciable. Ken Akamatsu, who wrote the manga, has done  a terrific job in showing emotions and thoughts of all the characters. The reader actually starts to care about the characters, which is a high point for this manga. Personally i believe that this is what makes manga different from western comics . 

The only low point of this manga is the introduction of Keitaro's step sister, she doesn't plays any part in the entire series except in stretching the storyline futher. At this point, one tends to think that Mr. Akamatsu had run out of ideas to continue with the storyline.  However apart from this minor glitch, the manga is almost perfect, it gets you hooked till the end. 

Highly recommended !!
