Keitaro's back, but he's got more than he can handle amidst a set back of temporary amnesia. With no memory of his promise to run Hinata House with Kanako, he is further confused by her impersonations of Naru. But there's more chaos in the works: marauding monkeys, a railway chase, and a battle royal with the police make for an eventful volume of America's favorite manga.

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

By A Customer

Keitaro arrives home in midst of the battle at Hinata Inn! He's totally confused! He isn't sure why Kanako's acting so strange. Until he is finally informed that she's his adopted sister! She thinks that since they aren't blood related that it is ok to marry him! Will anything change her mind? Fianlly Keitaro asks Naru to an abandoned part of Hinata House and proclaims his love to her. But he hits a major road bump. Kanako is impersonating Naru at the time of the confession. Just as he finishes this confession and gives her the ring the real Naru arrives! The magical place has already cast a spell over Keitaro and Kanako so they will be bound to be together forever! Naru can't even get close to them! Hurting inside Naru decides to leave town and put all this behind her. Will Keitaro ever get her back? Will the spell ever be broken? Can Kanako ever accept the fact that spell or no spell Keitaro and her will cease to exist? This I'd have to say is the second best in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, July 28, 2003

By	"pattymepattyyou" (Conroe, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

Coming from the perspective of the tv show, this manga just keeps getting better and better. Much more intrincate and, there I say, articulated than the show. A blast to read and the 12th volume just flys past, enthralling to the end. Good buy for anyone who likes silly love relationships/slapstick comedy/escape reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy for You to the Ends of the Earth, January 20, 2005

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

This is the third to last volume in this manga series. This time around, the focus is on the rivalry between Naru and Kanako for Keitaro's love. Even more slapstick than usual this time. It's still very funny, and if you followed the series up to this point, you will want to get this volume too.
