The "other work" is Love Hina for anyone wondering, which is a name I've heard but didn't know anything about. Looks like it's some sort of ecchi harem thing.
Anyways, looking through this guy's Wikipedia page is like:
Akamatsu: "We should resist the expansion of copyright law!"
Me: "BASED!"
Akamatsu: "I have made out-of-print manga freely available online without DRM!"
Me: "POGGERS!"
Akamatsu: "We should strive to preserve old video games in a playable state!"
Me: "Sounds great!"
Akamatsu: "We need to protect freedom of expression from foreign pressures, too!"
Me: "Oh dear..."
Akamatsu: "I am referring specifically to..."
Me: "NO... I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS... BAD... NAUGHTY... DON'T DO THIS..."
Akamatsu: "That we should NOT revise the CSAM law to include sexualized drawings of children!"
Me: "God dammit, Akamatsu!"
Akamatsu: "Also I'm gonna put My Wife is an Elementary School Student on my out-of-print manga website"
yeah pretty much. thought i will say that love hina is THE ecchi harem thing. it permanently shifted the genre into being forever dogshit. previous ecchi harem things (like ranma or tenchi muyo) would focus on things like jokes or having characters that you might enjoy watching in screen. love hina was what flipped the switch into harems being the exact same dreck every time, in pretty close to the form it shows up in today whether in isekai slop or pure harem
though there have been some shifts, i feel like most harem stuff nowadays avoids even the pretense of any of the girls not being madly in love with the bland self insert protagonist
