Love Hina manga, volume 13.
This is the infamous volume where Suu sort of becomes "the villain" for a while

She decides to kidnap Keitaro, bring him to her country, and marry him instead of her brother.

In two instances in this volume, she refers to her kingdom as "Molmol".
(Remember, read right to left <------------- )

And again...

Of course, earlier, it's also called the "Para Para Kingdom", but I am more convinced that it's "Molmol" since Suu calls it that herself, and more than once.

ANd also, this is only according to the fan translation. I dunno what Tokyopop will call it, but I would bet on Molmol. The fan translation of volume 13 is really good.

There appears to be a (black) cabbit in the bottom right-hand corner of that manga scan

Somewhere in the anime at least in the fansubs. Su is said to have come from the great desert of Japan. Go figure.

It's name is Kuro, which of course means black... Kind of an uncreative name, but oh well.

Big mistranslation. Much like the mistranslation of many parts of Love Hina fansubs. It's all thanks to the mad ruch of bad translations that came out. The series was subbed by at least 5 groups, probably more. It was a fiasco, and most of the subs were wrong, contrived, copied, or otherwise crappy.

Then of course, there's the North American DVDs... Great translation.. but the subtitle text sucks ass and has glitches.

Guess ya can't win.
