Is the manga by Akamatsu, A. I. I Love You, not in the manga encylopedia?

"Love Won't Stop"

This is a good example for another thread that different translated names can cause a lot of confusion, and removing links of alternative titles may worsen the situation.

Huh? I guess they changed the title for the American release, I wonder why, the original sounds fine to me. Anyway, thanks for the assist.

Tokyopop has it as A.I. Love You, so I don't think they changed the title.

My understanding is that "Ai Ga Tomaranai" is the original Japanese name, and "A.I. Love You" is the English name. I've never heard of it refered to as Love Won't Stop. But then again, i'm not very familiar with the series.

"Love Won't Stop" is a more direct translation for "Ai Ga Tomaranai." A.I. and "Ai" ("Love" in Japanese) is, quite evidently, a pun.
