Akamatsuverse Love Hina - Lover of Honey Cakes

[HotelKatz]

Decided to make a topic for this, since the memories of the discussion popped back into my mind and refused to leave.

I might make this into a fic. Keyword, might.

Here's the first post from the idea topic.

So some things I thought about...


---

What is Keitaro's reason for going to the Hinata and Tokyo University, if the promise girl isn't it any more?

Is he still trying to go to Tokyo University, thinking the Promise girl would still be friends?

Is he going to another college that's close by the Hinata Inn?

Did Granny Hina invite him to visit, but is trying to get him hooked up with Naru by doing the same things like in the anime or Manga?

Or was he merely visiting Haruka for a chat and maybe advice about if he should still try for Tokyo University if he failed once at it? And he somehow gets roped into being the manager. Either because it happens like canon or Haruka likes the idea of him living nearby?


---

Should Haruka be a bit more protective of Keitaro, since he and her are probably harmlessly flirting playfully by the time the fic starts? I'd like to think so, but I'd like to hear your guys thoughts on it.

---

What should Keitaro's stance on Seta be? Should Keitaro know about Haruka's relationship with Seta before the fic begins or he learns of it during the fic?

---

Should Su get an idea and temporarily reduce Keitaro's physical age, so she can see if he'll suddenly start flirting with her and the other tenants?

Yeah, this is another idea from the Love Hina idea topic. Thought it might be interesting to mix the two suggestions together and see what brews.

I'd imagine Keitaro would get ticked off when Haruka, Tsuruko, and Amalla all suddenly become the type to want to cuddle him to death the moment they see his child form.

---

Should Naru and Keitaro attempt to date, but it doesn't go well or Keitaro realizes that he's merely repeating what Haruka and Seta did, so Keitaro does his best to break things off peacefully?

Or does Keitaro refuse to date Naru?

Or maybe he gets strong-armed into giving Naru a date by the other tenants?

Hmm, perhaps he remembers the Promise Girl as being a few years older than him. Or in his initial quest to get into Tokyo U, Keitaro had become smitten with a female tutor or instructor that has ties to Tokyo U. Say a student teacher from Tokyo U went to teach in his high school, and Keitaro later finds that she became a published professor at the college. That could explain how he'd still have a desire to go to Todai.

Boy will he be disappointed.

The only one I can think off the top of my head:

(Kaoruko Fujiwara, from Minamoto-kun Monogatari)

Which speaks DOOM for the hinata girls, especially if they become targets to her research.

 

[Antimatter]

Could be as simple as Keitaro, who by canon had little luck with women his wn age, grew to idolize (and fantasy) about the older women he interacted with. Teachers, housewife customers of his parents pasty shop, tutor, you name it.

 

[shioran toushin]

[jk] and then he enters the paradox off younger women wanting him, him wanting older women and those near his age being weirded out

 

[PCHeintz72]

The thing I can easily see happening, is because he seemingly is outright rejecting them as viable women... they are not only offended, but insist on seeing how far it goes, meaning how far they have to go to get him... in a ever increasing round robin of either dares or hijinks.

This despite the fact they actually in point of fact do not really want a relationship with him.

It's not like I like you or anything, i'm just pissed you aren't getting flusters by my flirts!

 

[HotelKatz]

I wonder how clumsy Keitaro should be?

As clumsy in canon?

Less, but still clumsy?

Or not clumsy at all because he doesn't feel much, if any attraction to the Tenants?

One thought I had for a scene was Keitaro attempts to flirt with Mutsumi's mother, Natsumi. Then the tenants of the Hinata back away from Mutsumi, who now has the scary black aura-flames of anger and jealousy, while still looking like her absentminded self.

Ahhh... but as far as clumsiness goes, how much of it is Keitaro, and how much of it is the Inn itself.

 

[HotelKatz]

That is possibly the hardest question to answer.

 

[PCHeintz72]

That is possibly the hardest question to answer.

It boils down to belief.

If you believe it is all Keitaro, then realistically, with no interest at all around them he should be less distracted, and thus less incidents.

However, if you believe it is more the Inn than Keitaro, then no interest on his part toward residents might in fact mean the Inn must attempt to overcompensate to attempt to force the issue.

My own personal belief is there must be more than Keitaro being clumsy... And we know from canon that the Inn tends to attempt to enforce promises made on its premises.

 

[AJ_Katon]

This is pure comedy right? When I heard the inn forcing things, I flashbacked tl "for his own sake" by karndragon.

I did not mean it had to be a serious story, I merely was asking as to whether the author believed or was taking the approach that all the clumsiness was really Keitaro, or if the 'magic/curse/allure/draw/entrapment' of the inn/dorm played any role in it... because it would depend on that aspect whether the amount of clumsiness portrayed would go down or not with him less distracted due to lack of interest.

I was *not* implying it had to be a serious approach a la 'For His Own Sake'... (besides, that was mainly Keitaro going against the manipulations of Granny, not so much against the draw of the Inn)

 

[AJ_Katon]

Does the inn do so under a romantic angle or is it just the "bow chika" type?

 

[Antimatter]

I can see them finding out about said curse, and testing it by say, rubbing a ball all over keitaro, then dropping it, and watching as it bounces down the hall and lands square in Kitsune's cleavage.

 

[HotelKatz]

Well, in canon, I thought Keitaro's clumsiness was a mix if his own and the magic of the inn at about 50/50.

for the fic, I'd be kinda tempted to have the inn's own magic try to make the girls clumsy around Keitaro and him around them, in some weird attempt to get him to go after them. But all it does it annoy Keitaro. as no matter how many times his face gets shoved into the tenants' T and A, he still prefers older women. After a few chapter, I'd plan on the inn giving up, so the gag doesn't drag on too long.

Heh. now I can envision a scene where Keitaro sees Tsuruko, the inn detect that he lusts for her a little bit, so the Inn makes both so clumsy around each other that almost everyone around the two thinks Tsuruko is trying to cheat on her husband with Keitaro. Of course, that's assuming that Tsuruko's husband is alive and not divorcing her.

It would be nice to see the inn work both ways. Though there was that one fic where apparently when a girl was wearing pants, they somehow changed into a skirt when Keitaro tripped.
