O.K., I think that it is a universally accepted fact that Ken Akamatsu is the closest thing to a living breathing deity the manga world has Surprised , and his manga books are nothing short of legendary.

I myself am an aspiring manga artist, and a manga junkie. Love Hina for me is like the fedora hat and bullwhip are to Indiana Jones. Without Love Hina, I would be a shell of a man.

That is why I ask you, no, I beg of you, is there at all a possibility that there will be another Love Hina installment? Are there any websites that hint towards this? I must know!
Shocked
I can't wait 20 years for books like these to come out in America, and if I have to, I will drive a ski do to Japan and live as a samurai Mad !

So please, someone, give me hope! Crying or Very sad please! :sob:[/spoiler]

I have to disagree with you there. He does have a giant fanbase, and is considered one of the current best ... shonen romantic comedy artist out there, but I wouldn't go as far as to all him a universally accepted deity.

On the more Love Hina installments, well, there's always the possibility, but he's gone into a number of new manga projects since Love Hina, and hasn't shown a sign in going back yet.

Sadly...I think you may have to revert to being a "shell of a man." And I'll have to agree with littlegreenwolf on the fact that while Ken Akamatsu has a large fanbase...he's not even remotely close to a "living breathing deity."

Granted the manga was slightly better than the anime, I just hope that the heavens take mercy on us and leave us with only one Love Hina manga.

It's highly doubtful. He was originally finished with the 12th volume IIRC. Because of the clamoring, he did come back and finish out the story and it ended with Keitaro and Naru's spoiler[wedding.] It's done. It's over. While I really enjoyed it, it's better to let things have their end sometimes.

The Love Hina anime is done with its run - and its a firm ending as well, at best all you can hope for is maybe another movie and a short manga that says what they do after the end of the manga. But both are doubtful - your best bet is to find another series that you like and start reading that.

Ok - there will not be another installment of Love Hina. And for that matter, why in God's name would you want another installment. The manga ended perfectly. Another run would only ruin it.

If you want more Akamatsu read AI Love You.

I prefer Nagima over A.I. Love you.

I wouldn't be happy with another installment of Love Hina. It's 14 volumes, get over it, get another manga, and another manga-ka god. Rolling Eyes

I'm pretty sure that they won't make another Love Hina. I mean, they all got happy. Smile In the OVA, spoiler[Keitaro and Naru already got married and are happy.] Razz

Well, not in the OVA, but in the last part of the manga anyway. The OVA's didn't include that.

I was sad when I finished volume 14 of the manga. I don't know why, I just enjoyed it way to much. I think another installment of the manga probably isn't in order and would probably ruin it. But I'd still like to see one. It'd probably kill my new addiction to fanfiction...Anime hyper i hate loving it.

Akamatsu is no God. Perhaps only one man have ever earned and deserved the title and that would be Osamu Tezuka.

No other manga-ka can or will ever come close, EVER.

If you want more Akamatsu, buy Nagima (Which is really a another variation on a theme from Love Hina).

Nagima is good from what I've seen. But I like AI Love You. Its fun seeing Akamatsu's art mature.

Bah, it is Moggie who now draws better Akamatsu. The existance of quality, experianced assitants allows manga-ka to really improve their art and produce the levels they need for things like jump.
