Has Keitaro failed the Tokyo University entrance examsagain? Thats the lingering question in the eighth book of the Love Hina series, in which the freaked-out Hinata House landlord disappears to a far-off island to find some peace of mind and answers. But his female dorm mates arent ones to leave the unintentionally-perverted geek alone for long, for as soon as they find out the exam results, they set off on their own adventures to find Keitaro and return him to Tokyo. But with Keitaros newfound likeness of archaeology and mutantly-giant turtles in the way, its not as easy a task as it sounds. Keitaro and Narus relationship grows a bit stronger and more trusting in this one, with Naru becoming more relaxed and...less clothed around him. The others are just as meddlesome as ever, though, but enjoyably so. The establishment of Keitaros archaeological aspirations also provide a good solid base for Keitaros older years, should they be covered...or should he fail to get into Tokyo U once more.
