Let me tell you about this series. I love it.
It was mostly the characters that drew me in-they're all interesting and although very different. They're also very pleasing to the eye-no generic anime/manga character art here.
Now, I'm going to contrast it with another popular and well-known manga it's been compared to a lot, and which a lot of people think is very similar (it's not).

I saw the anime before I read the manga but it was so well done that I decided to see what extra things I could get from the manga. I've got through vol.3 and plan on reading the next two.
Fan service overdose! Not the most original of stories but still a good read.
This was a funny ass book dude i loved it
It is just like Chobits
