I generally dont include summaries in my reviews since thats usually readily available on this website. 67 is an average when it comes to rating manga in my case which makes the series by no means a bad one. I do not account Rereadability in the overall score although its obviously a huge plus if the series can be read again because of how great it is. A.I. Love You is most likely one of the first ecchi manga I read in the early 2000s as a teenager. Its an interesting time capsule for the technology in the 90s and proved that Akamatsu was definitely on top of the tech trends at the time. While this manga will always be compared to Love Hina as it proceeds it there are good reasons why. The character design is very similar just rougher and not as refined lacking the finesse that Love Hina had. There is decent character development at least the kind of development you get in manga like this but I think there was clearly more of a focus on the ecchi aspect of things as it probably sold better that way. There isnt much of a story as it takes a more slice of life approach at times which makes for a mixed bag chapter to chapter. Some chapters will be well thought out and entertaining others not so much. I think there were opportunities for better storylines but Akamatsu seems to lose interest towards the end of the series and loses focus on what could have been a better romance manga. Reading Kens works before this one makes it kind of pale in comparison but I think itd be unfair to say its a bad manga. The storylines themselves are decent and the ending was better than expected. If youre particularly looking for the romantic aspect in this one its here and its serviceable. Its by no means the focus of the manga but its there. Considering the length I think he did a decent job of wrapping things up fairly nicely although as previously stated Id say the manga is the strongest through its start. If youve read Negima or Love Hina and like Kens work it wouldnt hurt to give this one a try. Its not technically his debut manga but it is his debut series and certainly a precursor to all of his work afterwards. If you enjoy seeing an artists progression this is a good way to see it. While the art itself is dated now I still like the early 90s aesthetic personally theres a certain charm to it that you dont see a lot in manga nowadays. Would I recommend this if you havent read his more popular work? Probably not as Id just say to start with that and read this series if you become a fan. Alternatively if youre looking to relive the 90s this is a great little series with plenty of references to the technology of that time.
