A.I. Love You
8 volume manga

Released by Kodansha originally as a 9-volume series. Later, a new version for a total of 8 volumes were released (this version is also the one Tokyopop based on for the North America release). This year a special "big size" version with lots of extras is being released.

As Akamatsu Ken's first official work, it shows a very interesting "pre-Hina" style that you can find in the first volume of Love Hina. Well to tell the truth, it is not the best work Ken-san did. However, a true fan of Ken-san should pick this up. After all, without A.I. Love You, there will be no Love Hina ...

Also worth noting, Kobe Hitoshi is perhaps the most ecchi main character Ken-san hsa ever come up with...
