Product Description
When Keitaro Urashima fails his entrance exams to get into Tokyo University for the second time, he’s officially an unemployed and uneducated slacker. To make things worse, his parents have kicked him out of his house. Fortunately, his grandmother owns the fabulous Hinata Lodge and has agreed to take Keitaro in as caretaker. What he doesn’t know is that the lodge is actually a girl’s dorm and he’s the only guy around! Most guys would kill to live with five sexy ladies, but if Keitaro’s not careful, this job will kill him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradise, Parakelese style, October 27, 2004

By	Johnny Heering "trivia buff" (Bethel, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, August 1, 2003

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Hina series rules! :~), February 9, 2003

By	William A Miller (Carrollton, MI United States) - See all my reviews

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!
