Love Hina (ラブひな)

I gaze up from the rooftops and feel the sun's warmth.

Looking into the sky, you can feel the energy building up inside!

That's so wonderful!

I feel so alive!

I can't stop, I can't ever give up!

I'm saying goodbye to those days when I felt so down.

I've got these feelings bubbling up from inside!

You've gotta nurture those flowers that'll bloom over and over!

It's comforting to run away into your memories,

but you've got to break free from them and live for tomorrow.

Your time to celebrate will come, but you've gotta hold your arms out wide.

Days of struggle and turmoil will go on and on,

and you'll swing back and forth between heaven and hell.

You've gotta nurture those flowers that'll bloom over and over!

You've got to run and run until you find true love.

Any pain along the way is welcome news to me.

Your time to celebrate will come, but you've gotta hold your arms out wide.

Stretch your arms out wide...

...and hold those hands up high!

Did you know that if two people who love each other go to Tokyo U,

they say they'll live happily ever after!

When we grow up, let's go to Tokyo U together, okay?

Kei! Bye-bye!

No! Don't go!

Promise me you'll go to Tokyo U!

We'll see each other there when we grow up!

Okay... Tokyo U, here I come!

"Accepted Applicants for Tokyo U" Okay... Tokyo U, here I come!

"Accepted Applicants for Tokyo U"

"Keitaro Urashima"

I knew you'd make it in, Keitaro!

Congratulations!

Yeah! Now I'm finally a Tokyo University student!

"Tokyo University Party"

I'm sorry, girls... My heart already belongs to someone else.

Kei...

I've waited so long for this moment...

Come on, let's live happily ever after!

Just like we promised, the two of us...

...will go to Tokyo U together and eat lunch on campus!

Handmade box lunches made by her, of course.

And we'll go to tennis camp together at Karuizawa, just the two of us!

And then one day, we'll have a student wedding!

It's good to be alive!

At age 20, Keitaro Urashima is the happiest man in the world!

Keitaro!

Congratulations, my dear little grandson!

Stop, Grandma! Y-Your mustache!

I'm Keitaro Urashima, and I'm 20.

The only girl who ever liked me was that one little girl,

and I can't even remember her name.

My hobbies are drawing and collecting photo stickers.

But I'm the only one in them.

This is the second time I've failed to get into Tokyo U.

I really wish I had a girlfriend...

"All-Girls Dorm with Outdoor Bath: Hot Spring"

Man, what a disgusting dream...

What's the matter, Kei? You're not feeling well?

Oh, look at this... Do I have to do everything for you?

What are you doing, Keitaro?

What do you mean?

The prep school says your chance of getting into Tokyo U is a 'D'.

You're still trying to get in there?

It's okay, Mom. I'm trying really hard.

Some things are impossible no matter how hard you try.

We can't afford to keep feeding you forever, you know!

Fine, I'll get a part-time job and move out! Is that what you want?!

Really?! You'd do that for us?!

Hey, Keitaro! Telephone!

It's from your grandmother up at Hinata!

It's Grandma?

And so, I'm quitting my job as apartment manager here...

...and will be leaving to get a change of air for my health.

Y-You quit?

But what'll happen to the building without you, Granny?

Without a superintendent, I know my parents will...

Now, don't you worry. It'll all work out.

Wait, Motoko!

I'm sorry, but my club's training camp starts today.

I'll go along with whatever you decide.

- Out of my way! - Wait!

Su?

Kitsune?

Please, lemme sleep some more...

I'm hung over from my coming-of-age party...

Can't you take this more seriously?

Don't you care what happens?!

Man cannot live on dreams alone.

Dreams are themselves a reality.

It's hard to remember where the dream ends and the reality begins.

One more time. Just one more time...

I can never figure them out...

Keitaro Urashima got the highest score in Japan on the practice exam again!

How do you do it, Urashima?

I don't do anything special, really.

You wanna shake my hand? Okay.

Sure! Not a problem!

Uh...

Huh?

Nationally, you rank 27th from the bottom.

Should you be hitting on girls now?

Two months from now, we're probably gonna be third-time losers.

- Third-time losers? - T-Third-time losers?!

Don't touch me! What if your grades are contagious?!

l-I'm sorry.

Ow...

Pink... I mean "ow"...

Hey, he's alive. What's with her?

You don't know her? They say that somebody from our prep school

got the top score in Japan.

- It's her. - What?!

Oh, well. That's got nothing to do with me.

Come on, Keitaro. Face facts and give up on Tokyo U.

But...

Can you spot me some money?

I forgot, I have to go to my grandma's place.

Hey!

Gimme some money!

Next stop is Hinata Hot Springs, the end of the line.

I don't remember it being like this...

Beware your dreams.

Excuse me?

Right! That girl's face!

I just can't remember...

What am I doing?

I really ought to go straight to Grandma's and find out what she wants...

That's a nice smile.

Huh? No, this isn't...

If you don't mind, could you tell me your name?

Interesting...

Hey! Give that back!

How could you? That's mean!

No, it's just that my hand has a mind of its own!

Bad hand! Bad hand!

My sketchbook!

No, I can't go back there now!

I really need to get my imagination under control!

I know this street!

I came here all the time when I was a kid!

Right at the top...

...there's the Hinata Lodge!

Grandma!

Grandma Hina?

It's Keitaro!

Great, I come all the way out here, and nobody's home...

Damn it, I should be looking for a job so I can move out...

"Bath"

Right, there's an open-air bath here!

Awesome!

Hey, if I asked Grandma to let me stay here,

maybe I wouldn't have to get a job!

I'll have to ask!

So there are guests staying here...

Hi!

Nothing beats a bath in the middle of the day!

W-Who is that?

You know, my breasts have gotten bigger lately!

Kitsune?

I can explain...

Somebody!

Stop pulling! Stop pulling!

Get away from me!

Then let go!

Damn, this must be a women-only bath...

I've gotta apologize, and fast!

I'm so sorry!
