«Love Hina, Tome 1» is the first volume of the romantic-comedy manga series by Ken Akamatsu, published by Pika in paperback (190 pages, in French).
Keitaro Urashima has just failed the Todai university entrance exam for the second time and needs to find work. His grandmother Hina gives him the position of manager of a female boarding house, and the young man must balance his studies with a group of eccentric residents. The story mixes humor and romantic entanglements around the promise Keitaro made in childhood to a girl: to enter the prestigious university together.
This is volume 1 of the Love Hina series, originally published in Japan in 1999 and translated into French by Anne Mallevay for this 2002 edition.
Recommended for readers of shōnen manga looking for classic romantic comedy with a boarding-house setting and everyday mix-ups.
