Love Hina Vol. 4
Summaries by Contributing Writer: Hiro Daioh
:
The Hinata gang finally returns from their "Vacation" and it
turns out that they've arrived just in time for Naru's High school graduation.
However, something is amiss when she comes home in a really somber mood
after having been reminded of the reason she was trying to get into Tokyo
U.Since it is time for the Hinata cherry blossom festival the gang decides
to use that as an excuse to cheer her up with them all having their own
thoughts as to her sadness. On the way to the festival with the necessary
alcohol Keitaro runs into a stranger who helps him out, and then strangely
vanishes. That evening the gang's plan to help cheer her up ends with
success.
: It starts
as a normal day for everyone until Su attempts to scarf the new resident
of the Hinata house Tama the turtle. Oddly enough it flies off to another
part of the house, taking Naru's watch with it. A chase ensues that reveals
what the rooms of the other residents are like from the over cuteness
of Shinobu's, to the wild side of Su's, along with the truth of one of
Motoko's weaknesses; all of which could have been avoided had they simply
read the manual.
When Keitaro accidentally walks in on Motoko changing, this causes her
to challenge him to another fight, where if he wins she will do whatever
he says, but if she wins he must go through her family's training. However,
things go horribly wrong for her when he manages to block her blade with
his bare hands. Because of this she must do what he says, however it proves
to be quite a challenge for her when he asks her to be more feminine for
a while. Will she be able to take the other girls' rigorous training,
or will it prove too much for her?
Due
to Su and the others draining Keitaro's life savings, Keitaro is forced
to try to get a part-time job during the recession going on in Japan.
However, he soon finds out just how hard it is as he is turned down over
and over. After landing a job though Kitsune shows up to ruin it. She
then tells him about the man that tutored Naru during High School and
who inspired her to try for Tokyo U. Will this help him understand her
better or make it worse?
Keitaro finally lands a job as a "Stuff Mover" for none other
than the man who had helped him before doing the Sakura Festival. However
Naru isn't very happy about this because Keitaro has given up on Tokyo
U. After almost getting ran over by his new boss Keitaro learns he's bitten
off more than he can chew as he is forced to fix all the Earthenware that
was destroyed by Seta's driving. However this is just the beginning of
his problems as he learns of Seta's "daughter" Sarah who makes
his job miserable. Will he be able to take it?
After another battle between Sarah and Keitaro, they get
an unexpected (and unwanted) surprise. Seta has to go to Osaka for a conference
and needs Keitaro to watch Sarah for him. Both take it pretty badly. However
so decides to take advantage of the situation and weasel her way into
the hearts of the Hinata girls and make Keitaro miserable. Will Keitaro
be able to get through this?
After
a conversation between Seta and Sarah, she mentions the name of the Hinata
house and decide to go for a visit. At the same time Keitaro and Naru
get in a fight again over breakfast, after which Seta and Sarah show up
and meet a surpised Kitsune. The Hinata girls team up to stop Seta and
Naru from running into each other by any means necessary.
After another
short lived battle between Keitaro and Sarah, Keitaro goes to Seta's classroom
while it is empty and reminisces about how badly he flunked. Over lunch
that day Keitaro discovers that Seta used to be pretty stupid just like
him. This inspires Keitaro to try get into Tokyo U again, as is Naru.
The two of them talk about how their trying again. During another bad
day of driving again Naru and Seta are reunited.
After Seta
and Naru are reunited Naru runs away in joy, causing Motoko and the others
to stop her. Afterwards Naru and Seta catch up on old times. During this
conversation Naru is acting like Keitaro. Later the whole Hinata gang
decides to help Naru get Seta. How will it go?
