Another hilarious volume in this manga series. This time around, most of the action takes place on the island of Parakelese. There is also a resolution to one of the main storylines in the series. In fact, the book actually reaches a climax this time around, instead of ending with a cliffhanger. But this is not the end of the series. There are six more volumes after this one, which I will definitely be reading. I recommend this series to anyone who likes funny comic books.

in this exciting volume of Love Hina it's test time again. This time instead of Naru and Keitaro taking the exmas Mutsumi has joined the party too! Naru hoping not to be a second year ronin and Keitaro and Mutsumi hoping not to own the shameful title of 4th year Ronins they set off to do they're best at the exams. But on the day the exam results are posted he runs off! Naru sets off to find him while the Hinata House Residents go to look at the scores. She finds herself on an island that she and Keitaro soon get lost on. Naru's already made the preparations in case she gets in but Keitaro still has all his stuff! Is there any hope for Keitaro? What about Naru and Mutsumi? Find out in this volume of Love Hina!

Love Hina is one of the best Manga's I've ever read. A fantastic romantic comedy. Wish there were more like it in the US.

Volume #8 takes off right after #7, and while a bit reminiscent of the last time he ran away, it is still a very exciting, funny and exhilarating story! The whole cast appears in this volume, as well as a new cute girl... Could it be a long lost twin? Hmmm I'll let you find out but I'm not saying of who! Seta knows, I'm sure, but so far he hasn't said a word!

Lots of action, swimsuits (and yes that is a leaf bikini Naru is wearing on the cover! LOL), and plenty of Su's creative hi-tech hi-jinx!

So did the Ronin Trio get into Tokyo U? You find out on the last page, and no peeking!

I laughed so much at this one from the huge turtles popping up all over to poor Keitaro luck--even Naru's saying he's immortal or something to live thru so much. The tension is high as the girls try to get to him in time for him to enroll at Tokyo U--he only has 5 days from the posted results. Seta's back & weird as ever--is he a secret agent or something? His van can go underwater(guess it has to be indestructible the way he crashes into things constantly) & he manages to show up just when they need him most(like when Poor Keitaro, stranded on an island, is eyballing his pocket lint for food). Tama-chan is adorable as usual & terrorized worse than ever by a romantic giant turtle. There's a few mysteries to be solved as well--great volume.

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

Ken Akamatsu, Love Hina, vol. 8 (Tokyopop, 1999)

The exam results are almost posted, but Keitaro, convinced he failed, has run off on the first boat, only to find himself stranded on Pararakelse Island. Hinata House to the rescue! This one's a light, fun break from the rest of the series, with the gang off on another seaside adventure. Another very good offering in this strong series. ****
