Love Hina

Love Hina
by, Ken Akamatsu

Love Hina is a Manga graphic novel and tells the story of the Hina House girls who are left alone when Keitaro leaves to study abroad.

I truly struggled with this book. I had never read a Manga novel before, and I found myself struggling to follow the plot. This book is part of a series, and I think that some of my troubles were due to the fact that this book is in the middle of the series, and I didn't have a firm grasp of the backstory.

I also struggled with the content of this book. Although not a main part of the story, the book is sprinkled with explicit sexual references and references to drug use. The back cover of the book suggests that this book is recommended for older teens, age 16 and above. I definitely agree with this recommendation, and I would not encourage younger children to read this book.
