Your Feelings Categories Jan 1, 2008 Hilarious Parts by radiantfire Context: For this review, I'll be analysing Ai Kora. It is by Inoue Kazurou who is probably most known as the author of Midori no Hibi. At the time of this writing, I have read 58 chapters of this manga. Story: Ai Kora revolves around Hachibe Maeda and his endless attempts to glorify his favourite parts. It is a creative attempt on the world of fetishes and takes the notion of "objectifying women" to another level. Each chapter is episodic, in that, they often highlight a particular fetish being promoted. In this sense, those who enjoy short quick shots of romance and comedy will definitely enjoy ...

Honestly I feel a bit like I wasted my time. It's not really bad or anything but it's not all that great either. The story is a cliche among cliches. Boy gets to live in a girl's dorm. Wow. Haven't seen that before. I expected better from the mangaka.
The characters are weak. They don't evolve. They are stereotypes and have stayed the exact same up to the last volume I read (the fifth). I would be lying to say I could distinguish all the random scenarios in this manga from the billion other similar ... Jul 1, 2011
Ok, my friend from Thailand was reading this waaayy back then like 3 years ago when I was 12, 13. At that time only the first few volumes came out I think. I saw him reading it and I read the first few chapters from him and thought it was pretty. However I couldn't remember the name so I spent like a whole hour trying to find it like a few days ago hahaha. Anyways this story was really good and I liked it. Every single chapter was worth it to a certain extent, though some just seem off-plot, but overall it was good. So

Star Rating (out of four): **
(This review is based on having read the first chapter.) I think Ai Kora would really be worth reading if it didn’t feel so much like a Ken Akamatsu rip-off. Akamatsu, as you recall, created the famous Love Hina and infamous Negima!, two harem comedies that redefined the genre. Ai Kora does no more, it seems, than copy Akamatsu’s technique. Two of the four girls in this manga look like descendants of Asuna and Nodoka from Negima! Identical appearances are fine by me - except that they also seem to share the same personalities. One, named Sakurako, has long orange hair and ... May 26, 2010
Ai Kora is a story of a boy living in a dorm with the girls with his dream parts. At first I was quite hesitant to read since I was against reading ANY ecchi manga, but it turned out to be something i never expected. Although it's a shonen manga, the balance of comedy, romance and drama can make girls hooked too. the characters are also quite remarkable because there's a tsundere, the quiet and girly type, the "small but terrible type" etc. You will also find it's romatic parts qite different from most romantic comedy manga. The art is cute, although the hairstyle are

What is nice about Manga is that one can choose something to read whatever his mood is. Be it deep, intelligent, kickass or even stupid, there is a genre for every taste. Ai Kora is pretty much a manga one would read to pass time, and it’s actually a good one at it aswell. A typical story where a boy lives in a girl dormitory, this seems like a recreation of Love Hina isn’t? I’ll have to say that you should never jump to conclusions.
The story of Ai Kora resolves around our main protagonist Hachibei and the relation he has with the girls of ... May 29, 2008
First, a basic overview:
Story: Ai Kora's premise is just like Love Hina's: a boy is conveniently allowed to live at a girl's dorm. Art: Ai Kora's art is just like Love Hina's: even the characters bare some resemblance. Character: Ai Kora's characters also share some resemblance to Love HIna's characters. There's a ninja, an older alcoholic, a 'tsundere', and an innocent. The characters in Ai Kora do change throughout the story (despite what some reviewers might tell you), though, these changes are either changes in self esteem, their views on Hachibei, or, some combination of the two. Hachibei himself does change throughout the manga (though it is a slow paced ... Sep 22, 2019
I have read this manga about 4 or 5 times now and it is still so good. There are a few problems I have with it however. The ending was kinda odd for what the whole story was. Several chapters felt like throw away chapters. They felt like the had no impact on the actual story. There weren't really many "arcs" if you would call them that. They were usually 2 or 3 chapters that shared plot. This story is very interesting and is very good early on. It does kinda get into a slump midway, but it is still fun to read none the
