an akamatsu manga without fanservice is like a Takahashi manga without excessively stubborn main characters (remember, Akamatsu was/is a hentai doujin)
the fanservice of Love Hina is tame compared to the Get Backers (2 page picture of Hevn in tattered clothes bound up screaming her lungs out anyone? oh and when i mean tattered...well...you gotta know...Hevn doesn't wear much to begin with...) or most other shounen manga (ESPECIALLY mahoromatic...for crips sake she's buck NAKED for 5 pages in the first chapter alone!)
manga doesn't have the same limits that anime (televised) does, so excessive manga fanservice and excessive anime fanservice are different...
