While my wife is the one who owns this series, I've read it just as many times as she has - it's just that good.
This series is a beautiful supernatural romantic comedy/drama. It has frequent moments of intense hilarity, yet treats very mature topics (poverty, fatherlessness, isolation, rejection, loss of a family - and of course REAL romantic love) with all due seriousness.
Karin (the female lead) is one of my favorite "top-heavy" (ahem) ditzy manga heroines, in no small part because the author never puts her in anything more revealing than slightly tight turtlenecks. Modest heroines are a rarity in manga, sadly.
The male lead, Kenta, ranks right up there with Keiichi Morisato (of Oh My Goddess) and Yusaku Godai (of Maison Ikkoku) as a normal but GOOD man who works hard both to find his place in the world and to win the heart of the woman he loves. (So, if you're a man and enjoy either of those series, you'll love this one!)
The main story is 12 volumes, every one of them worth reading multiple times. Enjoy!
