Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Love Hina (originally published between October 1998 and October 2001) is a comedy manga created by Ken Akamatsu, and widely regarded as a classic in the Harem Genre.Keitaro Urashima is a clumsy loser with a big dream: to attend the prestigious University of Tokyo. Fifteen years ago he made a Childhood Marriage Promise to a little girl that they would be reunited on the campus of Tokyo U and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, Keitaro has failed the annual entrance exams three times, and is now considered a "ronin": a deadbeat trapped in academic limbo between high school and university.When his parents refuse to support him through another year of studying, his grandmother offers him lodgings as the landlord of the hot springs resort she owns. However, when Keitaro arrives at Hinata House he discovers his grandmother has left on a world tour and converted the building from a resort to an all-girls dormitory. The five female residents take extreme umbrage at the presence of a "perverted boy" in their midst, let alone someone as pathetic as Keitaro.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Through the course of the fourteen-volume manga (and an anime that spans 25 episodes, two movies, and a three-episode miniseries), Keitaro wins over the girls of Hinata House, builds up his self-confidence, earns a career, and finds both love and his promise girl... just not all at the same time, and not without suffering a lot of pain.While considered an archetypal example of the Harem Genre (and a classic of said genre), Love Hina is a comedy with a dramatic thread running through it. The story has a strong ensemble cast that brings together a wide variety of characters and character types into what can arguably be called a family. As one of the first anime to be produced entirely on computers (as opposed to the celluoid method), the art is crisp and clean, and it never suffers from the usual loss of quality that can affect traditionally-animated series during deadline crunches. Although Keitaro is subjected to a large amount of cartoonishly slapstick violence at times, Love Hina is a love story—and the story of his growth into an adult.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Compare this series with Maison Ikkoku. Contrast with Mahou Sensei Negima! (by the same author, and implied to be in the same universe). | |

Green Rooming: Motoko (along with her "groupies") is introduced in the first minutes of the first episode, but she immediately leaves on a training excursion, thus freeing up screen time for introductions of the other characters before she gets her turn to take center stage in the third episode. | |

All Men Are Perverts: All the girls except Mutsumi (and Shinobu, to an extent) seem to believe in this trope – at first, at least – and use it to justify their abuse of Keitaro (Naru and Motoko deserve particular mention). Averted, most of the time anyway. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Sort of happens when Motoko loses to Keitaro the first time. She realizes that he's worthy of at least a tiny amount of respect and starts to warm up to him. In the anime, it happens to Kentaro after he "loses" to Keitaro in one episode at trying to win Naru's heart. He even helps them out, such as flying Naru to the island Keitaro went to in the Spring episode. He does drive his car towards Keitaro in one episode, but it's largely by accident, due to Tama flying at him and distracting/freaking him out. | |

| Love Hina (Manga) / int_203141e3 | comment |
Cute and Psycho: Motoko's older sister Tsuruko is usually calm and graceful, but when Motoko makes the mistake of... erm... being creative with the truth in front of her, out comes her Ax-Crazy side (complete with daemon eyes). Because of this and her Master Swordsman skills, Motoko goes back and forth between admiring her and being scared shitless of her. Kanako is also introduced this way, what with the misery she actively puts the girls through because of their mistreatment of Keitaro. | |

| Love Hina (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Siblings and parents only mentioned in the manga show up in the anime; Shinobu's Dad, Suu's brother and sister, and Naru's little sister. The anime also either adds detail to, or sometimes outright changes, the supporting cast's backstories – leading to exploration of themes such as childhood and growing up, memory, selflessness, love and dreams in a more in-depth manner than simply sticking to the primary plot's story would allow. Unfortunately, this is slightly undermined by the fact that because the second series was cancelled, the primary plot of the anime ends about two-thirds of the way through the manga's story. | |

Parental Abandonment: In both the manga and anime, Shinobu is shown to have an extremely poor relationship with her parents. It's touched on more in the anime, where an entire episode is dedicated to it. Motoko seems to have shades of this as well. Keitaro himself is only at Hinata House because his parents were sick and tired of dealing with his failure and kicked him out. | |

Eyes Always Shut: Kitsune. Sometimes both eyes, other times just one of them. Very rarely she opens both eyes at the same time. | |

Su wants to eat Tama. Aside from the Accidental Pervert and subsequent beatings, this is probably the second most frequently used gag in the series. | |

Censor Steam: Opaque enough for the audience, but apparently not enough to spare Keitaro's hide. On a related note, we have, at one point, Censor Suu. This sort involves hanging one strategically-folded Kaolla Su around Motoko's neck, and letting her run around the screen for a few panels before and after to justify her presence. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: Tsuruko ships Keitaro/Motoko. Understandable, as Motoko initially introduces Keitaro as her fiance in an attempt to avoid having to move back home. Keitaro tries to do this with Naru and Seta. Fortunately for him, Seta doesn't see her that way, and instead points out the obvious. Then either Keitaro or Naru will try to deny it. For all her forcing herself on him (drunk or otherwise, but mainly drunk), Kitsune honestly and openly ships Keitaro/Naru. Naru herself tries to do this towards Keitaro and Mutsumi in the manga, while her sister tries it in the anime. The scene where Naru is dressed up like a nerd while Mutsumi is wearing a pretty dress is the same in both versions, although Naru does this herself in the manga, while her sister does it in the anime. Hell, Mutsumi's been shipping Naru/Keitaro since childhood! | |

"Freaky Friday" Flip | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_36754cc7 | comment |
"Freaky Friday" Flip: The Living Souls Exchange skill of the Shinmei-ryu. This sword-based spiritual technique is intended to temporarily transfer the soul of a possessed person and the intruding spirit into a willing host's body in order to be exorcised in cases where their original body is too physically weak to endure the procedure. In the second Tie-In Novel, Motoko tried to perform the technique in front of her sister Tsuruko, but she ended up switching bodies with Kitsune of all people by mistake, kickstarting the plot of that side-story. | |

Beautiful All Along | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_38718ea8 | comment |
The idea is that everything is possible if you try your hardest, even getting into Japan's top university and charming a really hot girl, even though you're a total loser. However, while Keitaro does start off as a really pathetic individual, it does not take long before he turns out to not only be handsome but also a gifted archeologist and martial artist. You'd expect someone who is not really cool or talented to captivate through determination and charm. While Keitaro is very determined, his defeatist, whiny and relatively immature personality, as well as his tremendous clumsiness deeply annoy the girls... It's only when he drops his usual act that the females show any attraction for him, often pointing out that he is very handsome when he is not being annoying. Ultimately, instead of Love Hina being about an underdog accomplishing goals far beyond his reach through determination and The Power of Love, it's actually about someone who was Crazy Awesome from the start but never had the proper motivation to unlock his potential until he met the girl. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: The Urashima family owns an heirloom katana that happens to be the vessel for a powerful demon that nearly obliterated all of Kyoto. The seal isn't particularly strong – simply drawing the sword will unleash the demon, allowing it to possess the wielder. The Youto Hina appears again in Mahou Sensei Negima! In Setsuna flashbacks recognizing it at Tsukuyomi's hands, Tsuruko says this. "This is the magic sword passed down in the East. Youto ‘Hina’. Today, this was lent to us by the East as a lesson." East or Kanto is where Hinata is at. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: As noted various times, the girls tend to humiliate or beat up Keitaro simply because he arrives at the wrong time when they are changing or violate them accidentally. Its even more absurd when one also remembers that they themselves are perfectly all right with it if it's with themselves. Furthermore, the girls frequently "punish" Keitaro for their own mistakes, such as walking in on him naked. One chapter has them worrying about his marks, so they try to cheer him up by letting him bathe with them. When he tearfully thanks them and mentions his score (which is quite high - their concern had made him worry he'd done a terrible job), they attack him, even though they'd assumed he'd failed, and none of them had bothered to ask him how he did. | |

Umbrella of Togetherness | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_51041191 | comment |
Umbrella of Togetherness: At end of the series before the epilogue, Keitaro shows Naru the Time Capsule they and Mutsumi buried in the old sandbox, and one of the items inside is a sheet of paper with a drawing of an umbrella with Naru and Keitaro's names under it, with Mutsumi's name over to a smiling face next to it. | |

Invisible Parents: Keitaro's parents are never seen, although he does mention them early on, and his mom can be heard in the first episode of the anime. Also played straight with Su, Kitsune, and Motoko, although the other girls (Sarah, Naru, Shinobu) avert this trope. | |

Sand Bridge at Low Tide: In the Festival Episode, Sarah and Su strand themselves on an island, where they are soon joined by a "shipwrecked" Kitsune. After a night of worrying how to get themselves rescued, help comes to them across a bridge of sand revealed by the tide. The same happened in the Beach Episode, but to Naru, Keitaro, and Sarah. They spend the day on the island, until nightfall, when the tide lowers and they're able to walk across and make their way home. | |

Big Ol' Eyebrows: A minor case, but Mutsumi's eyebrows are much more prominent than anyone else's. Strangely, this makes her cuter. Kitsune's eyebrows are noticeably thicker than the rest of the main cast as well. A case of Author Appeal, too, as Akamatsu admitted he likes designing cute girls with these. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When it's played for comedy, the person (usually Keitaro) is certain that the beloved (Naru) would be happy with someone else, and doesn't waste a moment to let her get a word in edgewise. Kindhearted Mutsumi manages to be this and Victorious Childhood Friend at the same time for the same boy. Naru tries to do this to Keitaro with Mutsumi in the manga, although it's touched on a little in the anime as well. Virtually all of the girls towards the end of the manga do this towards Keitaro, so he can get together with Naru. Even if Kanako is the only one to visibly begrudge her decision. | |

We Really Do Care: Keitaro and Naru go off on their own vacations separately but wind up together anyway. Everyone else in the house believes they're going to commit suicide together, and rush out to stop them. They really weren't, obviously. Happens again in Volume 8, when Keitaro becomes so despondent after believing he failed the Tokyo U entrance exam again that he fled the country. Naru leaves to bring him back the second she finds out. The others leave a few days later when neither of them return. | |

Referenced and actually played for drama during the climax of Volume 13 as a manic Naru accidentally launched herself off a cliff (she wasn't Driven to Suicide, she was trying to escape northwards to avoid confessing her feelings to Keitaro and there was no more Japan to run to) and Keitaro jumped after her to save her... | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_6f07b093 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: You could practically make a drinking game out of the number of times Keitaro tries (and fails) to confess his feelings for Naru in the manga. And when he finally gets around to it, he passes the trope right over to Naru, who arguably has an even harder time with it. Particularly since he always knew how he felt, whereas she tries to vehemently deny her own feelings. Which causes a lot of problems because several girls who like Keitaro call her out on it (mainly Kitsune), and wonder why she won't let them near him (due to her tendency to knock him into the air when he's with another girl) but at the same time invokes this trope. Reaches its most logical extreme in physical circumstances when half the Japanese media is chasing after her due to thinking she's a terrorist. | |

Amusing Injuries: Happens to Keitaro Once an Episode, but everyone in the anime series and manga get at least one of these. In volume 9, Keitaro gets a giant onion dropped on him,note (that was in fact the ornament that rests atop the Nippon Budokan. Even Mutsumi had a Heroic B.S.O.D.!) breaking his leg for a week. Su asks him: | |

Tsundere: Naru and Motoko make up opposite sides of this coin. Motoko, with her aggressive attitude (particularly around men) embodies the tsuntsun, while the somewhat more soft-spoken Naru (who usually only goes ballistic around Keitaro) embodies the deredere. | |

Nerd Glasses: Keitaro and Naru both have them, although Naru only wears hers when studying. Invoked by Shinobu as part of her attempt to become more like Naru. Motoko also attempts this with fake glasses (expressly to follow in Naru's footsteps) when studying to enter Tokyo U. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Happens to Motoko who, through most of the first half of the series, constantly ridiculed Keitaro's repeated blunders in getting accepted into the University of Tokyo. By the second half, however, she finds out firsthand that it's not as easy as it looks. Naru also finds herself on the receiving end of this in the third quarter of the series when having to deal with Keitaro's sister and is subjected to the torture she put Keitaro through in the first half (specifically trying to drive him out by overworking him when the girls initially didn't like him). Naru even wails out an apology for doing so (and rightly so; she did it out of anger for an out-of-context comment from Keitaro). Worth pointing out that Kanako succeeds in driving all the girls but Naru out using this method (though everybody returns just a few pages later). Misplaced Retribution: That being said, however, while the other girls deserved some punishment for the way they behaved, Shinobu, who had been nothing but kind to Keitaro since she met him, was subjected to the same treatment as the others despite having done nothing to deserve it. | |

Animals Hate Him: Ken Akamatsu seems to get a kick out of this – if one character is particularly depressed and runs away, they're likely to end up getting bitten in the hand by a dog when they try to pet it. This gag is used TWICE in volume 9. On the way to the Tokyo U entrance ceremony, Keitaro is suddenly attacked by a pack of wild dogs and then a murder of crows for no particular reason (that is, other than making him a Cosmic Plaything). | |

First Kiss: Played with. Keitaro and Naru both had theirs with Mutsumi. Shinobu makes it very clear she wants Keitaro to be hers; it ends up being Su. Motoko gets hers when she's assaulted by Su's automatic kissing machine. In the anime, Episode 13 focuses on this, with primary emphasis on Shinobu, although other characters talk about theirs or get involved. | |

Stealth Clothes: Keitaro wears the bandana-tied-under-the-nose getup when trying to move out of Hinata House without anyone noticing. It fails, but not in the common way (he is spotted, but he escapes and isn't recognized until Naru finds the report card he left behind). | |

The Ace: Seta seems like an average archaeologist until Motoko challenges him to a fight during the play. He dodges or parries all of her attacks, to the point where Haruka believed them to just be using some kind of special effects. Special mention to his insane driving skills. His van seems to take a lot of damage, but it always somehow drives away, even if the vehicle is turned on its side. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: If anything turns you off of this series, it will be this. Had any of the genders been reversed... they'd quickly be arrested. The anime has it somewhat less frequently, but gets correspondingly more violent when it does happen. Kanako does call them on it very late in the manga, subjecting the worst offenders to almost a volume's worth of A Taste of Their Own Medicine. Motoko even beats up Haitani and Shirai for talking to the girls while they're on the beach. Averted when Motoko gets a stern warning from the police for hitting a man who supposedly groped her. There's a joke amongst the fandom that Keitaro should have studied Law instead of Geology at Tokyo U; that way, he could get payback by filing excessive force lawsuits against the girls, and win really big. | |

Ill Girl: Mutsumi, until about halfway through the series, when she finally gets into the University of Tokyo. Also Naru in flashbacks. In fact, had Naru not nearly died from severe asthma, she would not have been taken to the Hinata Hotel as a little girl, and thus she would've never met Keitaro and Mutsumi. | |

Seppuku | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_c78d3e08 | comment |
Seppuku: At one point Motoko offers to help with the ritualized suicides of the Ronin who have not managed to get into the University of Tokyo. And after a failed attempt at femininity, she misinterprets one of Keitaro's comments as suggesting that she kill herself, and she asks Su to be her second. Thankfully she soon reverts to her normal self. Something that makes this dramatic scene hilarious is that Motoko is holding a sharpened knife near her abdomen: a "proper" woman would commit suicide by cutting open her jugular, as stated in the paragraphs above... so if she actually went through with it, she would've failed at femininity again. | |

Big Secret | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_d1b5778b | comment |
Big Secret: Multiple times, usually hilariously smashed somehow. First with Keitaro accidentally convincing the girls he's a Todai student rather than a prospective applicant (that doesn't last long and ends Keitaro getting punched). Later, Naru tries to convince herself and everyone else that she totally doesn't like Keitaro (she eventually admits the truth, which ends Keitaro getting punched). Kanako trying to hide the fact that she and Keitaro are Not Blood Siblings (he'd already figured it out, but it ends in him getting punched). The biggest secret, though, is what Old Lady Hinata knows about Keitaro's "promise girl" (amazingly, this revelation does not end with Keitaro getting punched). | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Motoko and Tsuruko just love slicing rocks in half. WITH WOODEN SWORDS. She also managed to slice a log and have it turn into a mecha figurine upon hitting the ground again in episode 6, although she feels a little ashamed having to do this for money. Tsuruko is introduced SLICING A MOVING TRUCK IN HALF just as it was about to run over Keitaro. And the driver (who was drunk off his ass) survives! | |

Supporting Harem: Only Naru and Mutsumi ever had any chance with Keitaro (Shinobu is too young), and he made his choice pretty early on. In a lot of media, Naru is usually portrayed as the most prominent girl, either shown as the biggest character on the cover, or in the middle if they're all lined up. | |

Naru also finds herself on the receiving end of this in the third quarter of the series when having to deal with Keitaro's sister and is subjected to the torture she put Keitaro through in the first half (specifically trying to drive him out by overworking him when the girls initially didn't like him). Naru even wails out an apology for doing so (and rightly so; she did it out of anger for an out-of-context comment from Keitaro). Worth pointing out that Kanako succeeds in driving all the girls but Naru out using this method (though everybody returns just a few pages later). | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Happens often to Keitaro, especially from Mutsumi who's too innocent to pay attention to this. In the manga, when Kitsune, Motoko, and Mutsumi are trying to get a ride to the airport, Kitsune lifts up Motoko's shirt to entice travellers... and promptly causes a 20-car pileup. A scene in the manga has Keitaro distracted from a Panty Shot of a random girl before take a train...and get an headbutt on the close door! | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Kitsune can hold enough liquor to turn a normal human's liver into foie gras. Not that she can't get smashed, though. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: At the end Keitaro gets everything he dreamed of and then some more, but before that he goes through a SHITLOAD of pain, both literally and metaphorically. | |

Snow Means Love | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_f7eda5d8 | comment |
Snow Means Love: The Christmas special, in which Naru and Keitaro spend a good deal of time wandering around feeling lonely. As well, it is snowing when Naru finds Keitaro after he ran off in an early episode of the series. | |

RunningGag | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: When the Amusing Injuries go to the extreme (the first time being when he is thrown off of a terrifying and rocky cliff, only half played for comedy), Genre Savvy characters start remarking that Keitaro is immortal. After this turning point, the joke is used here and there throughout the rest of the series, usually in an offhand way. Su wants to eat Tama. Aside from the Accidental Pervert and subsequent beatings, this is probably the second most frequently used gag in the series. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Keitaro almost gave Sarah a spanking in the manga when he was getting sick of her antics, claiming she "had it coming" – too bad he tried to do it IN PUBLIC and all Sarah had to do was scream loud enough to make him chicken out. Would Hit a Girl, though, when it comes to Kanako, because she's his sister, adopted or not. | |

Cherry Blossoms: The opening credits show the Hinata Inn amidst a grand flurry of cherry blossoms. And the opening theme is "Sakura Saku" ("the cherry blossoms will bloom"), no less. | |

Master of Disguise | |
| Love Hina (Manga) / int_fd7267dd | comment |
Master of Disguise: Kanako, to the point where she can dislocate her skeleton to change her body shape. Defied by Keitaro; he can see through them easily. Shinobu in the manga was able to tell that "Naru" was "not herself" when smiling, even though the smile was visually perfect. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Keitaro and Naru of course. No surprise considering this is a rom-com, especially since one half of the couple suffers from Cannot Spit It Out for most of the series. Very late in the story, They Do. | |
