In addition to the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z manga, I've been currently collecting the Love Hina manga (although I also need to hurry up and get the rest of the series/specials on DVD).

I've recently finished volume seven (out of 14 to be released), and so far have been very impressed with how the story's been progressing. The artwork is also very cute.

Favourite character is still Kitsune.

So, is there anyone else on the board reading it?

I think I read all the way up to the middle of volume 9 some time back, but haven't gotten past that.

I have, on my comp, every volume except volumes 7 and 8. Have read 7, so that leaves only 8 to read. Plus I have Love Hina anime episodes 1-25. Watched all of them too.

I've read the first couple of volumes, and skimmed through most if everything up to 7. Much, much better than the anime (and do not get me started on Love hina Again).

I must borrow the mangas from you, Spanky. Do not deny it from me.

Just started... yesterday actually, looking forward to getting manga 2

I had the episodes 1-25, and the Xmas special, Love Hina again, but deleted them because they took too much space...

Give manga Shinova!

Illegal activities will not be tolerated in my threads.

Do it on your own time, if you must engage in theft.

I've read the whole thing, from 1 to 14 and I can honestly say that the series goes to heck after book 9. After that it's just more of the same.

The only interesting wrinkle is when Kanako shows up, and even that isn't much.

I've seen the anime, and I still prefer the manga.

If, I may ask, what is 'Love Hina'?

Concerning your post title: Whatever. I don't like illegal activities discussed in my threads.

Love Hina is a manga and anime series that features a 20YO third year ronin (college entrance exam failure), who made a promise to go to Tokyo University with a girl when they were five. He's since forgotten what she looks like, and through a series of events has become the land lord of a girls' dormatory in Hinata (owned by his grandmother). Hijinks and cutesy romance ensue.

Spanky, up to what issue do you have of Dragonball Z? Which saga?

I have up to volume ten in both DB and DBZ. DBZ vol. 10 (really DB vol. 26) is probably in the last third of the Freeza Saga (Freeza's in his final form, Goku goes Super Saiyajin in the next volume).

I also have Gundam The Origin up to issue three.

I've seen the Anime (and the Live Hina concerts) but don't have the Manga, you can't really get translated copies over here very easily... unless someone from th Uk can correct me there.

Tokyo Pop publishes the translated manga (but I'll warn you, they sometimes have left out text here and there, but thankfully very rarely).

I'd assume you could get them through Amazon.com or such.

not from Amazon.co.uk and if I get it from Amazon.com I have Airmail and possible customs charges as well.

Still Hopefully Otaku.co.uk will get some in stock soon.

I've volumes 1-3 of the graphic novels and 1, 3, 4 of the original Japanese manga, Both versions are legally owned. For the anime DVDs I waiting for the boxed set and/or if by chance used DVDs of it.

I've got all the US-released volumes of Love Hina (as well as GTO, Kodocha, Kare Kano, Ah! My Goddess, Evangelion, Angelic Layer, Cowboy Bebop, Marmalade Boy, Chobits, Lupin III, and Nausicaa), and all the currently-released DVDs (plus the box, of course).

I haven't read past volume 8, but I did have up to 14 on my computer at one point. Much better than the anime, although still frustrating. 8 goddamn volumes for Keitaro to get even the slightest bit of a spine.
Of course, it never happens in the anime. Later episodes effectively ignore any progress made in the Christmas and Spring Specials.

Ken Akamatsu's got one hell of a style, though.

Ive seen the Love Hina series as anime and I ive gotten the first volume of the manga so far.

I like some of the humor better in the Manga than the anime, but at the same time the characters in the manga are a little different than what I was used to from seeing the anime.

Overall its a great series and I plan on getting the entire manga set eventually.

My friend lent me once his DBZ which was the final vol. Unfortunately, it was in Chinese so he had to translate it for me...

I've read the first 8.
