The cast expands as Taeko, a girl from Kaoru's university, joins the odd m'e9nage at the Sakuraba family mansion and Tina, the loudmouth American, buys a pet ferret. Although Taeko is supposed to become the housekeeper, she breaks, spills, burns, and otherwise destroys everything she touches. Aoi--the heiress to zillions--cheerfully cooks for everyone and cleans the enormous mansion by herself. The relationship between Kaoru and Aoi slowly blossoms, but the scenes of them shyly holding hands and exchanging confidences don't jibe with the often gross humor that includes fan service shots of lingerie and jiggling breasts. Another romantic comedy involving mismatched (mostly female) roommates,
i Ai Yori Aoshi
i0 is clearly aimed at
i Love Hina
i0 fans. But Kaoru is so bland, he makes Keitaro look dynamic, and Aoi lacks Naru's rambunctious appeal. (Rated 13 and older: nudity, risqu'e9 humor, alcohol use, comic violence)
