Love Hina

Love Hina is a harem anime (a genre popularised by such titles as Tenchi Muyo!) and follows the traditional formula: single average male encounters a slew of nubile young ladies. Single average male is crammed into house with nubile young ladies. Single average male is comically pummelled by some and romantically linked to others. The result, in the case of Love Hina, is a finely-crafted blend of comedy and romance helped along by a cast of genuinely lovable characters and surreal situations.
Keitaro Urashima is a man on a mission. At the tender age of five, while playing in a sandbox with the girl of his dreams, the young duo promise each other to enter Tokyo University together and thus live happily ever after. There’s only one problem. Keitaro doesn’t even know the girl’s name. Fast forward fifteen years and Keitaro is still no closer to finding his dream girl.

After failing the Tokyo University entrance exam twice, Keitaro’s parents kick him out of house and home, forcing him to live with his last living relative – Grandma Hinata. Fortunately for Keitaro, Grandma Hinata happens to own a girls-only dormitory. And what’s this? She’s appointed him landlord! With Granny gone, it’s up to Keitaro to manage and maintain the residence while simultaneously coping with the mixed nuts that board within the walls of the dorm. Between being physically beaten by Kendo champion Motoko, blown up by adolescent mad scientist Kaolla and being hit on by booze-hound Mitsune, it’s a wonder poor old Keitaro hasn’t turned prematurely grey. Fortunately, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Resident sweetheart Naru Narusegawa looks just like the girl from the sandbox! Has Keitaro finally found his dream girl after all these years?
