Love and Collage is about a boy, Hachibei Maeda who envisioned the perfect girlfriend, from the shape of her legs to the sound of her voice to the size of her breasts to even the appearance of her eyes. Even though he envisioned the perfect woman for him—he’s still a pervert. Anyway he moves to the big city in search of the women who have his “ideal parts.” Once he arrives to Tokyo, he finds out that the boy dormitory burned down. Luckily, the teacher in charge of the girl’s dorm with a few girls already living it offers him a place to stay. Each of the girls in the dorm including the teacher possesses one of his ideal parts. The story basically revolves around Hachibei’s encounter with his ideal parts and his relationship with each girl.

* Even though it’s a little ecchi. It’s not that bad. I for one enjoyed this manga; I just overlooked the rare ecchi scenes.
Characters:
Hachibei MaedaHe has ideal body parts for almost ach part of the body. His dream is to find the girl who possesses all the parts. Once he finds a girl with a part, he becomes extremely protective of that part (more of the part than the girl). Usually he is a simple minded, soft guy but he goes crazy if you mess with his ideal parts. He learns to let go of his desire for a part in order for that girl’s chance of happiness. In the end, he finds someone who he loves that exceeds his love for parts.
I am gonna be totally honest here, despite his perverted ways, Hachibei is my number 1 favorite character. I would give him a Oscar. He is not a Bishonen in my eyes, but he is unique and funny and sometimes even charming. Whenever I am upset, I reread some of his scenes because his personality is just... just....GOLD. XD
