Love Hina
by Ken Akamatsu
Book: 13
(For Mature Audiences)

Keitaro and Naru are finally, officially a couple. And that’d be great if everyone in the Hinata House were for it. However, this time, it’s not the deranged stalker half-sister trying to ruin things – it’s the deadly samurai. Motoko, who over the series has hinted at long-hidden feelings for the Tokyo University-bound landlord, but in this installment, they finally come to fruition…in a big way. Of course, it doesn’t help that Motoko is potentially facing the same ronin fate as her crush once did…but her anger management-lacking sister Tsuruko thinks she’s been accepted to Tokyo U! And Keitaro, well…he has a dilemma of his own when he’s faced with the opportunity to excavate ancient ruins at the Kingdom of Molmol, or fulfill the promise he made to Naru that has driven him thus far. The usual group chaos is in no way lacking in this book, though there are a few things that seem a bit inconsistent, like Su’s place of origin (it didn’t seem like even Su knew) and Kanako’s suddenly sedate obsession with her brother (she barely appears in the book). Still, the story is loads of fun, and puts Keitaro and Naru’s future at the forefront for the series’ finale.
