It looks like Inuyasha is causing some trouble for poor Ranma... Well, while they get it sorted out, can you help me? I'm thinking of this old series but I can't remember its name...

Throwback Thursday (or #tbt) commemorates the anime, manga, and games of yore. (Yore = original debut in 2001 or earlier.) Based on the provided clue, can you tell me the title of what I'm thinking of and its original Japanese release year? I'll give you 3 random single cards for your trouble!

This classic harem comedy features a would-be college student trying to fulfill a childhood promise he made with a girl that they would attend Tokyo University together. Unfortunately, he keeps failing the entrance exams and his parents kick him out, leading him to stay at his grandmother's hotel, which has been recently converted into an all-girls dorm! When he's made the manager of this dorm, he slowly gets to know all of the girls who live there - one of whom he suspects may be the girl from his past. The story follows the twists of their "will they or won't they" romance and the protagonist's repeated attempts to enter Tokyo U.

This round will end August 7th at 6:00PM EST. Sorry this is late, I've been very busy this week. ;; Prizes will go out for last round soon.

Last round's answer: Chrono Trigger, released in 1995. Closed!
