The story so far: Keitaro remembers making a promise to a girl about attending Tokyo University so they could live happily ever after together. Unfortunately he doesn't know who this girl is but he thinks it may be the most abusive resident at Hinata House! It turns out that she isn't as bad as she seems when she offers to help him study for the entranace exams since that is her goal too.
In this volume, Naru becomes upset after failing her entrance exams and finding herself a ronin. She trys to runaway but Keitaro follows. As she trys to get away from him they end up running into eachother everywhere! They end up at the same hotel (turns out they're both using the smae travel guide) and the woman there is a room short and puts them in the same room! A Honeymoon Room! Meanwhile back at Hinata House, the residents frantically try to find the two fearing that they may have tied the knot! This thought causes panic in the residents because although they don't want to admit, they have a crush on Keitaro! My favorite of the first three is this one! by far the funniest!

Love Hina volume three, by Ken Amatsu, may be the best of the three volumes released at this date.
Keitaro and Naru have both failed the exams, and independently decide to take a little vacation to relax after all that hard work (studying, racing to the U, etc).
Well, as you may have quessed, they run into each other, quite literally, on the train.
They continually run into each other (not so literally this time) over the next chapter or so, and turns out, they were both using the same travel brochure ((-_-;)).
They begrudgingly decide to travel together.
Along the way, they aquire a waif-like girl named Mutsumi, who might be considered the female Keitaro ^ ^.
Unbeknownst to them, everyone from Hinata House is searching for them, from Suu to Shinobu. Well.... much craziness ensues.
To find out exactly what happens, I guess you're just gonna have to read the book.

Love Hina is always funny, but this is the place where the series takes a bit of a shift towards really developing the characters. I can say that this is where I fell in love with Love Hina.

Excellent series. Extremely funny. Great artwork. Great storytelling. Recommended for any one who likes manga.

Ken Akamatsu, Love Hina vol. 3 (Tokyopop, 2002)

And here we are-- it's time for the big test to get into Tokyo U. And is Naru the girl Kitaro made his promise to fifteen years earlier? He can't quite recall, but when she lets slip she's trying because of a promise she made as well, Kitaro's feelings get to falling all over each other as much as his feet do. Series remains strong and witty. ****

Love Hina book three was great. Definetly NOT an upset to a Love Hina avid reader. The book entrances you Keitaro and Naru's long sought journey of finding tranquillity after their disappointing fail of their Tokyo University entrance exams. I'm not going to dish on ALL the details, though. If you want to know so bad, just buy the book! I guarentee you won't regret it!

This is a great book, but you really should start with the first book in the series. If you like that one, then you can read the rest of them. This is a very funny series. I don't want to give away the plot, but suffice to say that things continue to go wrong for our "hero". This chapter also introduces a girl who may play an important role later in the series. That is just speculation on my part, I haven't read past this book yet.
