hmm i'm a bit frustrated everyone seems to only recognise Ken Akamatsu's work whit Love Hina but he has another series to you know Maho Sensei Negima, though he is one of my favorites.
mm then there is Kazuki Takahashi the mangaka of Yu-Gi-Oh
and then it is Yumi Hotta the mangaka of Hikaru no go
sheesh i have too many favorites
but i guess i would like to meet one of these three
