How about some Love Hina?

I don't go in much for tsunderes, but whenever she's not being a bitch, I think Naru is cute as hell.

Pic not exactly related, since she's probably being a bitch here. But I decided to color it anyway because Juan Gotoh's art is win. At least when he isn't indulging his fascination with decapitation guro, anyway...

Actually, it's a page from a doujin by Juan Gotoh. If you haven't seen his stuff, you may want to look into it. He's really good. Just stay away from his guro works...unless, y'know, that kinda thing floats your boat.

I suggest you take the time to read the manga then, naru actually gets her character developed much better than in the anime. And even though my fav will always be shinobu, naru certainly did move up a couple of spots in my fav rankings when i finished reading it

Hell yeah, Love Hina's a classic.

I remember discovering anime... I actually fapped to hentai before I started watching anime. Anyway, I saw some of those ecchi love hina pics and I thought they were hot, so I thought that maybe Love Hina was some porn or something. Downloaded first episode and started watching... while it wasn't porn I thought it was funny so I forgot to fap and started watching. :)

The manga came first, followed by the anime. The manga was the ecchi, the anime was just a play off the same characters and loosely followed the storyline. If you want laughs, watch the anime. If you want ecchi and (slightly less laughs, if you don't include the humorous ecchi moments) laughs, read the manga.

...

Speaking of which, I think I have the entire manga in png format or something, if anyone is interested.

Naru was my first E-RAGE case, ever.

A manipulative, lying, violent, unestable bitch who initially clinged to Keitaro just to shoo away her own loneliness- but without leaving him get near or AWAY from her, no matter what.

- Enter Mutsumi. Keitaro gets treated with care, respect and equality (Both were hopelesses klutzes) and evidently, Keitaro starts to develop strong feelings for her. Which were MUTUAL.
Of course, Naru goes apeshit and manages to fuck up Keitaro's (early) happy end for good. After all, Mutsumi WAS the girl who made the promise of going together to Toudai, back then. Yes, Mutsumi.

Time passes, Keitaro's feelings for Naru keep growing stronger, Mutsumi gives up for Naru's sake and Neru keeps treating Keitaro like shit, not allowing him to ever think of another girl, but STILL not giving even an inch of space to him. We discover during all this time, Naru has been in love with her tutor (Seto) and since it's not a mutual crush, she decided to cling to Keitaro just to compensate for it and to not feel alone. Bitch.

- After a lot of problems, Keitaro, Mutsumi and Naru get accepted into Toudai. Despite having promised to walk together into the college, Naru ditches Keitaro and goes alone. Meanwhile, Keitaro gets an accident and he spends the first day of classes in the infermery, with a broken leg. Everyone go to visit him, except by Naru, who finally appears at the end of the day as if nothing happened. Caught in the moment, Keitaro confesses her love for her, and Naru abandons him in the spot. Bitch.


She also makes a
>> Anonycat
Keitaro's injury makes him uncapable to attend classes, so he is stuck in home, while Naru enjoys her first college semester and goes apeshit happy. She also avoids him after classes and (after peeking Naru's diary) Keitaro discovers that Naru has totally removed him from her life. Rinse and repeat during the ENTIRE semester.

Enter Motoko. After trying to fool her sister about being engaged in marriage, she gets trashed, disowned and expelled from her clan. Keitaro sticks to her and gives her a place to live while tries his best to cheer her up. Motoko starts to develop STRONG feelings for him, and (ironically) starts to daydream about him in the very same way as Keitaro used to daydream about Him and Naru during the first volumes of the manga.
Point of consideration: Motoko realizes the tremendous impact that Keitaro has caused on her life, and how much has she grown thanks to him. She also realizes her violent behavior and lack of feminity, so she tries her best to correct this and make their relationship easier (of course, she overdoes it) but until now, she is the first, and only girl who has made a real effort to change her ways to be less of a pain for Keitaro. Meanwhile, Keitaro discovers himself having strong feelings for Motoko, and even pondering the idea of marrying her.

Enters Naru, who stops her fun to throw a wrench to Kaitaro/Motoko's relationship and makes a mess to get them apart until she separates them, thus screwing another possible happy end for Keitaro. (She also makes a sob story to justify having abandoned Keitaro after getting what she wanted and drags him back to her- but STILL keeps him at a distance.

Argh. Just remembering this makes my blood boil, so I will stop here before commenting the rest. But again, Ken Akamatsu's stories have this kind of bitchy characters just to cause this kind of reactions among the readers and so, make them feel empaty with the protagonist. Which is a valid resource, I suppose.

You'd think he'd have told her to fuck off and die after the first emotional ass raping she gave him. I know I would.
>> Anonycat
Ok... so time passes, and Keitaro discovers that he can't attend classes because, with his leg busted and all that, he missed the entire first semester. Seto gives him the chance to go to America as his assistant on a LONG archeology trip that can give him credits for college, and Keitaro (After thinking a lot) accepts. The girls don't like the idea of being separated from Keitaro for months, but they support him anyways. Naru is about to confess to keitaro but (as always) backpedals in the last moment. Oh, and back then she also discovered that the girl who Keitaro ahs been looking during YEARS was Mutsumi. And she not only HIDES it from him, but also make sure he NEVER discovers it. Bitch.

Ahahaha! Enter Kanako, aka Keitaro's adopted sister.
The first thing she does is turn the boarding house into an Inn as in the old days, and makes the girls work for a living. While she remembers them that she is just giving them the same treatment that they gave to her brother when he just arrived to the place. One by one, Kanako kicks the girls out until just Naru remains and makes her live a hell. Naru bitches and Kanako cites Keitaro's letters where he told her all the brutal things he had to endure from her, so Naru STFU but still decides to NOT let Kanako get near Keitaro.

Keitaro returns earlier from his trip, where all the hard work digging out relics (which, btw he ENJOYED AS HELL) mixed with Seto's martial training and a new pair of less goofy glasses has turned him into a badass. Naru greets him with a PUNCH.
>> Anonycat
Shit happens, and among other things, Kanako explains that it was Keitaro who made her come out of her shell and feel not only accepted but also loved into her foster family. She makes very clear that she loves him and will do her best to give him a very happy life, since he deserves the best. (Of course, Keitaro has forgotten that they aren't blood related and for a long while, he pushes her away to avoid wincest)
Keitaro grows some iron balls and tries to ask Naru in marriage, but shit happens and he ends up declaring to his sister instead. On top of that, fate itself seems to support this, and (of course) instead of trying to set things clear with everyone, Naru decides to make a huge mess and then RUNS AWAY, abandoning everyone.
They chase her through the country, and when Naru tries (again) to punch Keitaro, Kanako steps in and gives her a very, very long deserved ASSKICKING. (Yay)
Eventually, Keitaro makes his sister understand and they corner Naru in a cliff. Thanks to her stupidity, Keitaro falls down and (thinking he is going to die) Naru jumps too and confesses to him, just before they get saved by a Deus Ex Machina. Naru kisses Keitaro (The first REAL kiss in like, 3 wasted years) but, as soon the adrenaline wears off, she immediately tries to backpedal and push him at a distance again.

More RAGERAGERAGE soon.

Then Kanako rapes Naru while Keitaro takes Mutsumi and Motoko for his harem.
>> Anonycat
OK... so Keitaro and Naru are now an official couple, but besides of some kisses, still NOTHING OF WORTH happens.

Enters Motoko again. After FAILING HER COLLEGE ENTRANCE TEST. After having promised to her sister (Who scares her to death) that she would be a Toudai student like Keitaro. Who, by the way, was chosen by her sister as a suitable husband for Motoko.

Of course, Motoko is a mess- she used to treat Keitaro like crap for failing at his test exams AND for having lied about being a Toudai student, which is precisely the SAME thing she's doing now. Motoko also notices how much has Keitaro changed since they first met, while she is still the same.
Keitaro notices Motoko's predicament and decides to help her in the best way he can- by studying with her and making her take a new Toudai pre-test, which, if she passes, will count as the same as being a real student, so Motoko's sister doesn't eat her alive after discovering Motoko's lie. Of course, Motoko accepts, but this time she feels uneasy around Keitaro- and she knows why.
She never truly gave out her feelings for him, but after noticing all the shit that Keitaro endured for Naru's sake, she realizes that she doesn't have neither the chance or the right to butt in.
And then, Motoko starts to dream about Keitaro defeating her in combat and dumping Naru to marry her. To make it funnier, Motoko's daydreams now go beyond their college days and include the 2 kids she could have with Keitaro.
Is here when he can see the biggest character developement after Keitaro himself: when they are alone studying on Motoko's room, Keitaro accidentally spills a glass of juice on Motoko's chest. Instead of punching him away or even giving him a disgruntled look, Motoko simply asks him to turn around while she gets a change of clothes. (Keitaro is amazed by this change of behavior, and by now, his old feelings for Motoko are starting to return)
>> Anonycat
The moment goes to hell when Motoko's sister, aka Tsuruko enters in the room, after listening their conversation and discovering about Motoko's lie. She gives an inhuman beating to her sister (despite everyone's attempts to stop her, including an atomic canon used by Kaolla- Tsuruko is THAT badass.) and before she could expell her from the clan, Motoko manages to stand and quit from the clan on her own- she admits that she screwed it big time and is unworthy of carrying her family name anymore.
Then she grabs a knife and cuts her hair, announcing her descition of living as a wandering maid in pennance for being a failure AND a lier.
>> Anonycat
Of course, Keitaro isn't going to allow that shit and sticks to her, no matter what Naru may think. And so (after a little help from his sister) Motoko accepts to keep studying under Keitaro's wing so she could enter in Toudai and that way, getting her sister's trust again. We also discover that Motoko's sister wasn't really serious about disowning her, and that she also knew that Keitaro was going to stick to her like the last time- Tsuruko was a hell of a woman.
By now, Motoko has fully accepted her feelings for Keitaro, and thinks what could have happened if they had met before Naru appeared in the picture. Her sister challenges to a last duel, accepting her back in the clan if she wins- and Motoko, inspired by Keitaro's courage fights and wins the duel, confessing her love for Keitaro while she was giving the final blow.

2 more points of consideration: by then, Motoko was the FIRST character to make a love confession on her own will, instead of doing it while caught in the moment.

In an interview, Ken Akamatsu admits that he had considered a Keitaro/Motoko ending for the manga, but he was running out of ideas and so, he decided to wrap it fefore Love Hina became stale.

After her amazing love confession, Motoko calms Keitaro by admiting that, while her confession was something she needed to do, she wasn't going to butt in between him and Naru's relationship and expected to continue being friends with both of them as always. Of course, Naru had to make a ruckus and blame Keitaro for everything, despite having nothing to do with it.

More shit, and Naru's ULTIMATE SELFISH BACKSTAB later, or perhaps tomorrow. Too sleepy now.

"In an interview, Ken Akamatsu admits that he had considered a Keitaro/Motoko ending for the manga"
Having also read the books it would have made a much better conclusion with him winding up with Motoko than that whiny, psychotic bitch Naru. Lets face it, Mokoto truely loved him.
I always hoped somewhere along the storyline Keitaro would finally have had enough & thump her one, but having Kanako give her the "Time for some payback Bitch!" left hook was good enough. Also notice after Naru was sent flying across the pool, no-one came to her aid, the girls & even Motoko stood beside Kanako.

I love you! You and I share the same perspective on Love Hina. I NEVER liked Naru and as I went through the manga I got behind a Motoko/Keitaro ending more and more and still wish it ended that way.

Thanks for telling us what a horrible bitch Naru is!
>> Anonycat
Ok, here is the final part- thanks for your attention AND patience, btw.

Finally, things have calmed enough, and a new year of college is about to begin- this time, Keitaro and Naru are about to fulfill the promise they did during their ronin days: walking and entering together in Toudai university. Of course, someone else disagrees.

Shinobu, Motoko, Kanako, Kaolla and Kitsune aren't happy with the idea of losing Keitaro (with different degrees of interest, of course) and decide to make a final stand- by disguising themselves as some kind of Power Rangers wannabes and ambushing them at Toudai's entrance to screw up their promise so they still could keep a chance with him (I guess Akamatsu reused this idea in Mahous Sensei Negima with the Baka Rangers group- oh well)

The girls end up backstabbing each other by changing their lines to suggest that Keitaro should pick *insert name here* and while they are sistracted yelling and bitching at each other, Keitaro and Naru (Who by the way, weren't fooled by their disguises at ALL) walks away and finally, enter together to Toudai, fulfilling the promise they made almost 4 years ago. Happy end? Hell NO.

Seconds later, a plane (chased by a goddamn flying ARMY) appears from nowhere and picks Keitaro before flying away- it's Seto, who "recruits" Keitaro to help him to fix a big screwup he did with certain country's national treasure. To be exact, Kaolla's homeland, where, by the way, she is the royal princess. (Of course, NOBODY is happy with this sudden twist, and while Naru and company fly to Kaolla's homeland to recue Keitaro, Keitaro himsef yells to Seto during the entire trip.)
>> Anonycat
Now in Kaolla's homeland, after everyone gets together again (Including Haruka, aka Keitaro's young aunt and Seto's old flame) we discover that years ago, during an archeology trip, Seto stole a relic (the country's national treasure, actually) and now, after realizing his screwup, he is trying to return it.
Out from nowhere, Kaolla decides to play a "game" to have fun and make things more interesting: since she is the royal princess, she uses her power to get Naru and company imprisoned (forcing Keitaro to battle his way to recue her, like a live RPG and without malice from her part- Kaolla is just a big kid) while the other girls *immediately* change sides and offer themselves to serve as mid-bosses between Keitaro and Naru.

We also discover that the stolen relic, placed in a special place at a special time, can bring eternal happiness to a married couple. Hmmm...

Keitaro makes his way all alone through Kaolla's flying fortress (Seto is shot down by Kaolla's guards) and we can watch the *last* attempt they girls do to steal Keitaro from Naru- Shinobu (wearing just an apron and wielding a frying pan as a weapon) confess her love for Keitaro while remembers him that she is now 16- the legal age for getting married. After getting whacked in the head and trapped in a room bt her, Keitaro politely rejects her and eventually, Shinobu (totally broken) decides to let him go.
Kanako tries her habitual S&M sex moves on him (only to get conked in the head and scolded by her brother before he continues running to Naro. Lol.)
>> Anonycat
Motoko pops out from nowhere, using her strongest attacks to stop Keitaro on his tracks, furious and asking WHY he can't have her instead. She knows what Naru means for him, but she is still decides to get Keitaro's love no matter the cost, even if she have to cripple him. (!)
Seeing that talking is useless, Keitaro limits himself to dodge Motoko's Ki attacks and, (In the manga's GARest moment) he picks a broken pipe (Motoko's attacks are tearing the place) and using it as a "sword", releases his *own* ki attack that nullifies Motoko's tech and defeats her in a single move. While Motoko tries to pick her jaw from the ground, Keitaro explais that after being hit by that tech so many times during all these years, he ended up learning it and making it his own. Of course, Motoko is broken- she has been totally defeated and if weren't by Naru's existence, she and Keitaro could have been happy together. Keitaro comments that he feels the same, but things are like they are- And he loves Naru.

FINALLY, he reaches the top of the fortress, where Kaolla has tied Naru to a stake and prepares herself to attack Keitaro in a mecha suit. (She is merely playing her part as the Final Boss)
Shit happens, happens and then happens again. The suit goes haywire and explodes, sending Naru and Keitaro flying away, until (after a LOT of crap) they end in an old temple, where everyone is awaiting for them: the same temple from where Seto stole the relic that caused all this mess in the first place.
Seto and Haruka appears from nowhere, and finally, Seto can return the relic: now the temple is again in condition to be used to marry couples and make them happy forever. And coincidentally, Naru and Keitaro are there: guess what will happen now?
>> Anonymous
They all go out for sno-cones?
>> Anonycat
WRONG.
The girls immediately suggests Keitaro to marry Naru in the spot, but Seto objects: he just fixed an old screwup, and now he wants to use this chance to fix ANOTHER old screup of his: he wants to marry Haruka, his old flame. The catch? Only ONE couple can get married, so Keitaro and Seto fight each other to earn the right of getting eternal happiness, and Keitaro loses (but he doesn't regrets it, he knows that Seto and Haruka deserve their happiness after all what they have awaited- and he is the first to cheer them)
Seto and Haruka gets (finally) married, everything if fine and the gang returns to Japan to resume their usual lives. Is here when Naru starts to ponder their relationship with Keitaro, with all the shit he has been enduring for her, and how, despite all the crap she has been giving to him, Keitaro stays with her AND her friends gave up her own happiness for her. She realizes that she has barely done anything or worth for him, and the relationship has barely advanced in 4 years, so she decides to take it to the next level: She drags keitaro to a love hotel to have SEX and consumate everything.
And then she beats the crap out of him out of panic in the last moment- and Keitaro seems to finally have enough of Naru's crap.
Back in the boarding house, she attempts to do it again: this time, trying to have sex with a Ko'ed Keitaro, while she drinks a whole bottle of sake to get courage- but she gets totally plastered and passes out while she is on top of Keitaro- this makes her realize that the relationship doesn't works because of her fault (Gee, really?) and (after everyone left the boarding house for a lot of personal reasons) Keitaro awakes to find himself completely alone- Naru has escaped AGAIN, and this time looks like she left for GOOD.

Not the way I remembered it. I recall from the start of volume 14 that Naru and Keitaro were going to have sex off-camera between volumes, but they stopped because Keitaro didn't have a condom--prompting an exasperated Kitsune to utter probably the funniest line in the entire manga.

Also when they went to the love hotel they got interrupted at the last second by Nyamo randomly flying through the window on that big fucking turtle from volume 8. Naru did punch Keitaro out of reflex, but she immediately apologized and Keitaro didn't look upset at all. Notice how every time she punches him he's never really hurt?
>> Anonycat
Keitaro chases Naru and finally finds her in the train station, decided to leave to stop screwing up everyone's lives. She boards the train (Keitaro follows her) and while they are discussing, Keitaro's cellphone rings.

It's GRANDMA HINA. The old lady had enough, so she is finally coming back to put everything in order, no matter if they like it or not. Keitaro and Naru escape, but Grandma keeps calling them (she seems to know each of their moves) and, after toying with them for a while, she brings out the big guns to get Keitaro's attention:

SHE KNOWS WHO IS THE PROMISED GIRL.
The girl who Keitaro has been chasing for over 20 years.

Keitaro's face immediately cheers, and, despite having a relationship with Naru, she begs Grandma to tell him who the HELL was the girl who promised to go to Toudai university with him when they were both kids. You know, this is the moment the poor guy has been waiting for almost ALL his life, and the only thing who gave him strength to endure his lonely teen years -AND- the crap he had to endure during the fist volumes of the manga.

And before Grandma Hina could tell him...

... Naru disconnects the phone.

THE FUCKING, SELFISH BITCH FUCKS UP THE MOMENT THAT KEITARO HAS AWAITED FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS.

Keitaro is shocked, while Naru yells histerically that he must ot pay attention to Grandma's words, because the promised girl is "HER" (she creams her name a lot of times here) and that's all what he must know. (Actually, the promised girl was Mutsumi, and Naru did her best to hide this from Keitaro during the entire manga)

And this was when I officialy felt that Naru was the fist fictional character that made me feel pure hatred towards it.
I mean, we have seem lots of bitchy characters, but THIS EPIC SELFISH SHIT was epic.

Now you're just fucking lying. Grandma Hina shows up at the very end of volume 14 and says Naru is the promised girl.

I always felt bad for Kitsune.
Motoko liked K because she pretty much grew up a swordswoman/nun.
Shinobu liked K because he was like the ONLY positive male influence in her life.
Su liked K because she liked everybody.
Kanako liked K because he was the only one of her family who defended her.
Mitsumi liked K because she liked K. a lot.
Naru liked K because Mitsumi did. And then later because he put up with her shit.
I don't really have anything against Naru... I liked how it ended, whatever. Now they can be happy. ...
K loved anybody and everybody because all men are desperate perverted nerds who deeply love the first thing that shows them any kind of kindness... or some shit.

But Kitsune? man. She had to put up with Naru's constant cockblocking from the get go. Constantly under Naru shadow no guy even looked at her. Why do you think she drinks all the damn time? And she still ended up with no one.

Eh, I would have preferred the series ended on a happy note for everyone and not just "we want to jump Keitaro's bone like everyone else but since we can't oh well." I’d love to see some sequels where they each in turn find someone.

But that’s just me.

The promised girl is MUTSUMI.

When Naru was a little girl, she was taken by her parents to the Hinata Inn (future boarding house) and 2 older kids befriended her while she was bed ridden (Naru was athsmatic, the marine air of the place was supposed to help her)

These kids were Keitaro and Mutsumi, who spent their time making company to Naru and eventually they became good friends. That lasted until Naru's health improved and it was the time to say goodbye, but the kids didn't wanted to get separated (Naru took a liking to Keitaro, and Mutsumi, aware of this, decided to make a bet with her- they were going to have a rock, paper and scissors match which she lost on purpose- Naru was too little to play it correctly.)
Then, Mutsumi promised Keitaro (On Naru's place) to go to Toudai university so they could be together again, but Keitaro had no idea of this- for him, the promised girl was always MUTSUMI.

When Mutsumi finally reveals this to Naru, Naru gets crushed by Mutsumi selfness, and when Keitaro asks her what were they talking about, she simply changes the topic and never brings it again.

When Keitaro and Naru return to the boarding house, Grandma Hina is waiting for them and before Keitaro could ask her anything, she tells him that the promised girl is "Naru" and that's all what matters.

So if what matters is Keitaro's happiness, why are you foaming at the mouth? Can you imagine what it would have done to Keitaro's psyche after he invested two years of his life working to get Naru, a real girl and not an abstract memory who made him feel like his promise was less and less important, only to be told he had promised some other girl, maybe someone he didn't even know? A guy with as fragile a psyche and lack of self-confidence like him? Can you imagine how stupid and despairing he would have felt? Naru cut that phone off for his own good as much for hers. She was scared to lose him, but if he had been told he was living a lie it would have destroyed him.

Mutsumi made all three of them promise to go to Tokyo University. She did lose to Naru on purpose, but then turned around and made Naru promise to her in turn that they would go together as well so nobody would forget. She says so at the end of volume 7, she never promised Keitaro--her promised one was a girl, and that was Naru.

By the way, Naru spent pretty much all of volume 7 trying to hook Keitaro up with Mutsumi for the sake of him being happy. How selfish of her.

People like you crack me up; I used to write in the Love Hina fanfiction section five or six years ago and I was always amazed at this virulent hatred. It must be cultural because the Japanese don't seem to share this homicidal dislike for Naru people like you have. People get way too emotionally invested in slapstick comedy characters. Sorry if I seem a little condescending but I'm not the one who keeps misspelling Seta's name.

Hey, it's a free world. You are free to think whatever you want. (I can see you are a Naru fan, so it's natural to see you defending her, and I can understand your stance.)

Seto/a's name... yeah. I only have the old Dual Translations/Crunchy Cheese Love Hina scanlations, so I bet I screwed up more than just a name, here. (I could swear that the condom comment was just a thing made up bt the translators, because Naru and Keitaro suddenly trying to have sex seemed out of place and out of character, too.)

I will try to get my hands in the official manga edition to clear some stuff.

Love Hina threads ought to just be banned. I've never seen one that didn't fill up with this kind of faggoty.

Good lord, who the hell wrote that copypasta of Naru hate? Get over it, man.
