Fun romantic comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, but also isn't exaggerated and unbelievable. The drama is pretty minor and nicely resolved. Main couple are sweet, awkward, and well matched, and so far the side characters (particularly the brother) are just there for convenience. Update: the side characters feature much more prominently as the series progresses, and one of the later ones, Aki, became my favorite character :)
There's some interesting slang and expressions here and there. Certainly the first time I've seen 所帯くさい! Good manga for casual speech. Also, it's full color and full furigana :D
In case you care about things wrapping up cleanly: vol 10 is the final volume, and it really didn't wrap anything up. It's too bad, the development was starting to improve at that point. Overall, decent shoujo though.
