Love Hina is about a young man, Keitaro Urashima who keeps trying and failing to get into the prestigious Tokyo U university to fulfil a childhood promise he made. He decides to visit his grandmother at the Hinata Hotel which she owns and study to retake the entrance exam, but upon arriving at the hotel, he finds that his grandmother is gone off on a world tour and the hotel converted into a girls dorm, run by his Aunt.

The only reason why I didn't award this manga one star is because of the comedy factor where there were isolated moments of humour that I found quite funny and it's a very short read which I finished very quickly.

However I found it extremely difficult to reconcile the flagrant abuse levelled at Keitaro by the girls in the dorm with the simultaneously incongruous harem factor. It almost seems that this manga is the manifestation of the main character of the artist's subconscious need to be abused because of some deep rooted childhood trauma involving their mothers. For example, when Keitaro learned that he was to become the landlord of the dorm, the girls set about making his life miserable by forcing him to do a great many chores, all of which he does not realizing that the girls have put him up to it.

I did like some moments of the comedy but overall this manga just wasn't for me not even as a guilty pleasure graphic novel, it was unfortunately a badly translated, reverse misandrist mess.
