Send IsaacG a PM notification explaining the badness of natter: natter-fy

Changed line(s) 35 (click to see context) from:

* Ken Akamatsu, writer of ''Manga/LoveHina'', should really have known when to cut a long story short. Most readers figured out pretty quickly just who Keitaro's "promise girl" was, and the plot itself answered the question in the 10th of 14 volumes. So throwing in umpteen further "complications" to spin out the romantic tension ("Is she really the Promise Girl?!!") for its 14-volume run wasn't really effective, especially since he and Naru outright admit that they no longer care if she really is the girl in volume 12 and finally kiss. The same thing happened with Keitaro's TokyoU career: he was accepted after the second year of the story, but in order to keep the protagonist's educational prospects as a source of tension, Akamatsu had a large bell fall on top of him, preventing him from taking up his place there, though it did result in him [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] in the meantime. Considering that Akamatsu is obviously a Creator/RumikoTakahashi fan, we should be thankful that he ended the manga after 14 volumes instead of 45.
