Love Hina, Vol. 1 by Ken Akamatsu

***Thoughts after reading***
I can't rate this. There are too many memories attached to it. But re-reading it... I will tell some of the jokes made me uncomfortable but most of the time I was laughing at the dumbness of it all. Not because I thought it was funny.

A.I. Love You, Vol. 1 by Ken Akamatsu

I have no idea why I started collecting these. I think I bought a few and couldn't stop? My little brother did enjoy them and although I liked these more than Love Hina... I can't remember what it was about. Weird because I can remember what Love Hina was about.
