   InuYasha, Ranma et al's fanservice goes way up while any pretense of a   
   story is thrown aside.   
      
   Takahashi's Love Hina never ends satisfactorily and Negima never ends.

   Akamatsu doesn't do his own artwork. (Ducks and runs)

   Takahashi still does artwork? (Ducks and runs)  Akamatsu provides writing??
