Have we heard of nostalgia? Love Hina , one of the manga and anime of the 2000s, is celebrating a milestone – its 25th anniversary!. Therefore, the series' author, Ken Akamatsu , surprised fans today (21) by publishing a moving artwork in commemoration of this special moment.
Love Hina – Author publishes art in celebration of 25 years
Check it out:
On Twitter (x) he commented on the post: 25 years ago (1998), today, October 21, 2024, the first chapter of "Love Hina" was published in Weekly Shonen Magazine! It was at this moment that the beautiful anime girls entered the magazine, which until then had focused on Yankees and sports. We received support from students who took the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo. I wonder if there are any plans for a revival or dramatization????
Therefore, fans were already grateful for the image in the comments and, most importantly, for Ken Akamatsu to pop culture in general.
Synopsis:
It's safe to say that Keitaro Urashima isn't the luckiest person in the world. At 19, he's never kissed a girl and has already failed three times in the entrance exam for Toudai, the highly competitive University of Tokyo. Disillusioned, he leaves home and goes to his grandmother's boarding house. Keitaro never imagined that the place had been converted into a girls-only dormitory. Since his grandmother decided to travel the world, Keitaro ends up becoming the manager of Hinata Boarding House. Amidst much confusion, little by little, he wins over each of the residents. At the same time, he begins to work even harder to get into Toudai and fulfill the promise he made to a little girl as a child. They would enter university together and live happily ever after.
Finally, the series was published in Weekly Shounen Magazine from 1998 to 2001, and had 14 volumes. In Brazil, the manga was published by JBC.
