I borrowed this manga from one of friends a year or two ago. Yup, it was a good series. I couldn't put it down and even got scolded by a teacher for reading it in class. XD
If there's one thing Tokyopop is good at, it's writing vulgar and hilarious speech. I love when a company shows that they enjoy their work and goes out of their way to make you laugh. Same thing with dubbing companies. Like with the scorpion scene....(ROFL) Keitaro squishes a scorpion which makes Naru happy but then he goofs up of course and she sends him flying. In Tokyopop's version, she screams, " Scorpion, my ass!" In the original one she screams, "What are you doing!?" I prefer the latter...^_^

Yeah.. "scorpion, my ass" sounds much more Naru-ish than the boring literal translation.

It is one of the "classics" of harem-style comedy - somewhat reminds me of an old Jerry Lewis comedy where he's the male bellhop/houseboy in an all female boarding house. The series is pretty messy, derails into confusion at various points and you'd like to kick some of the characters at times. But it has some memorable sequences and a few characters who are just unforgettable.
Watch Motoko the sword girl... she gets a substantial amount of character development over the series and remains one of my favorite characters of any anime or manga.

About 60-70% perhaps. It's rare to find perfectly animated manga with the right plot. The TV series follows up to... Spoiler for those who haven't gotten a long way with the manga:

Besides that, the anime cuts out the end. The farthest the anime got to was Love Hina Again (in a butchered and shortened form), which is manga volume 12. However, there are 14 volumes in Love Hina manga, which means two entire chapters were not animated. So that's the ending to Love Hina which wasn't in the anime. So is it worth it to see the manga? Yes.

heh, for myself it was Motoko, Haruka, Shinobu, Kanako ... period.
Sometimes I'll reread a book or two.... the lame parts get lamer and the better parts get better, ymmv.

Wow, two other people that don't completely loathe Kanako. And I thought I was the only one
I wonder if her low reputation may be due to the 50cc's of total fail they doped her up on for Love Hina Again |

I always figured it was her actions in the manga (I don't even think about the mess the anime made of her).... she was pretty focused and apparently vindicative to characters we'd all grown attached to. I wasn't really fond of her "mask" trick either. But I liked her core personality and goth-edge.
I'm always surprised when *anyone* mentions Haruka in a fave list.... (having seen Nobue in Ichigo Masimaru.... I suspect she grew up to become Haruka ... heh j/k). (since we have new readers of the manga, I'm trying not to spill spoilage)

I dunno i always liked Haruka as well but I am old enough to think that most of the girls are underage :P as for Kanako I just can't get over the comon theme in Japan of brother/sister love. I have seen it in a few manga sometimes it is cousins but it happens pretty often and you also see it a lot in bishujo games, example Kana little sister. As for the good parts getting better and the bad ones getting worse, i would add that the wierd parts get wierder. As for a second favorite I like Shinobu, that sort of pure character who always admires the hero no matter how retarded he is appeals to me. Probably why I also like Mutsumi.
