I don't know in other places, but here in Brazil, ''LOVE HINA'' is a big success. I personally find it funny, but not awesome: I had a good time laughing with some scenes and situations, but there is not any kind of innovation in this anime that makes it special like Evangelion, for example.
It is a romantic comedy, but it is full of provocative scenes, where Keitaro always get problems with his clumsy and shy personality. And to be honest, it is hard to find any character who have received more punches than he, because of those problems. I read basically the whole manga, but I didn't see all the anime episodes to say all the differences between then both.
Keitaro is a 20 year old guy who dreams to be accepted in the excellent University of Tokyo in order to fulfill a childhood promise. He also becomes the manager of the Hinata House, a kind of a dormitory only for girls, that is a property of his family. OF course, being a manager for a place like that, he will start to meet all the girls that are going to be part of the plot in special Naru, the girl he has more feelings for, but as any Japanese romantic comedy, they only will declare to each other their true feelings close to the end.
