As a child, Keitarou Urashima made a promise to enter Tokyo University with a girl and be together with her. Now, at 20 years old, he has failed the required exam twice, leaving him disappointed and unsure about his future. One day, when Keitarou receives a call from his grandmother who tends to an inn, he believes that moving out will be a chance to focus on his studies. However, as Keitarou arrives at the building, he discovers that it has been transformed into an all-girls dormitory! Residin...
Love Hina received ICv2's Anime Product of the Year award in 2002.
A hapless exam‑flunker becomes caretaker of a chaotic girls' dorm, chasing love and a forgotten promise.
Keitarō Urashima’s life is a comedy of missed chances. At twenty, he’s flunked the Tokyo University entrance exam twice, still haunted by a childhood promise to meet a mysterious girl at the school’s gates. When his eccentric grandmother calls, urging him to take over the family inn, Keitarō sees a fresh start—until he discovers the “inn” is actually an all‑girls dorm called Hinata House. The resident quartet—Naru, a sharp‑tongued future scholar; Mitsune, a carefree freelance writer; Kaolla, a hyperactive engineering prodigy; Shinobu, a shy newcomer; and Motoko, a disciplined kendo aficionado—each greet him with suspicion, teasing, and occasional outright hostility. Undeterred, Keitarō becomes the reluctant manager, juggling laundry, midnight snacks, and endless misunderstandings while still clutching his dream of passing the exam and finding the girl from his past. As the series rolls, his earnest, often clumsy attempts to help the girls lead to slapstick mishaps, heartfelt confessions, and a growing bond that blurs the line between friendship and something more. Amid the chaos, the promise that started it all remains a flickering beacon, driving him toward both academic redemption and a tangled, harem‑filled romance.
