About the author
Ken Akamatsu
641 books231 followersKen Akamatsu (赤松 健, Akamatsu Ken, July 5, 1968 -) is a Japanese mangaka from Tokyo.
In his teenage years, Akamatsu failed the entrance exam to Tokyo University, and applied for Film Study instead (it is speculated that this is where he got the idea for Love Hina). Eventually, he became famous as an illustrator featured in Comiket (short for Comic Market, a comic convention bi-annually held in Japan). He used the pen name Awa Mizuno (水野 亜和, MIZUNO Awa). Akamatsu, still in college, then proceeded to win the Weekly Shonen Magazine award twice. His "A Kid's Game for One Summer" was awarded the coveted 50th Shonen Magazine Newcomer's Award soon after he graduated.
After a big hit with A.I. Love You, he finally made a grand success with his new manga, Love Hina. The series appeared in Weekly Shonen Magazine and has been collected in eleven volumes (with fourteen volumes in total), which have sold over 6 million copies in Japan, and received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen in 2001.
Akamatsu had added elements of his own life experiences to the story, and this was said to have induced a unique feeling to the manga especially for Western readers, whose lack of familiarity with Japanese culture for the most part added to the effect. The series, published in America in 2002, was especially well received in many overseas countries - Akamatsu was surprised that even foreign readers found Love Hina to be "cute" and to their liking.
He is now married to his wife 'Kanon' Akamatsu, who was previously a singer/idol. He is currently working on his latest manga series, Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, which is his longest running manga so far. Like Love Hina, has also been made into an anime series. A second independent retelling of Negima was made called Negima!?. Both series were produced by XEBEC (Negima!? was produced by SHAFT).

Just to single out one feature of these books that I really like, there is a brief introduction to the characters and a quick review of the story at the beginning of each volume. This synopsis is limited to the recent past and the characters most likely to appear in the present volume. This feature is of great value to the reader.

The story presented in this volume was mediocre. That being said, Volume six was still enjoyable.

Disappointingly mostly filler plot...

OK, so Santa-san actually gets to be the hero in this one, and fight off a zombie horde! Plus, the obligatory bathhouse scene, and yet another reference to Negima.

This series just gets better and better. In this volume, the case they've been working on is wrapped up and the current arc is completed. There is tons of action and battling ... with zombies!!. All our heroes face some serious injuries, these are tough dudes to fight. In the end, the volume finishes with a new member added to UQ and a mysterious woman appears setting the scene for the next arc. Loving this manga. This is one of my 15yo son's current favourites, too.

This series is starting to lose me! Can't tell if it's too much happening or not enough. Just disjointed.
