| | Love Hina, Vol. 1: Moving In (2000) |
 | | The characters in Love Hina will seem familiar to Anime fans of any experience: we have the angry, smart girl (Naru), the violent kendo star (Motoko), the shy and sweet Shinobu, the excitable and odd foreigner (Su), and Keitaro himself, a standard male with a good heart and poor self-esteem and worse study habits. |
 | | Luckily, Love Hina deviates from the formula enough to keep it interesting, such as downplaying the romantic interest a girl might have in Keitaro, and also makes the characters fond enough to seem like old friends and not just hackneyed plot devices. |
 | | It is nice to have a small gallery of images devoted to main characters, along with a short bio to go with them. |
