Description
From Solaris-SVU:

Though his name may mean good luck, Daikichi is far from lucky. Losing his home and his job, he narrowly avoids being homeless when he finds an old abandoned apartment building. But the apartment isn't nearly as abandoned as it first appeared, as it's being occupied by the ghost of a girl who committed suicide there many years prior.

 Surprisingly Good

I didn't expect this manga to be that good but it is. The relationship between the two characters is bittersweet and they have a innocent atmosphere even though there are ecchi scenes. The character development with the two protagonist is good with some good comedy mix together. I like that the plot is simple and there are no wasted chapters.

The things that I kind of didn't like is that we don't get to find out much about Kana.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
It really sucks that we find out that Kana killed herself at the end with no explanation of why she did it. I really liked the ending because the author could have ended the manga on a sad note but instead leaves it as a open ending.

It makes me feel sad for Daikichi and Kana because their relationship is like a doom fate sort to speak because we know that their relationship will end one day.



Overall its a great manga to read and it may seem like just another ecchi manga but it's not so don't miss out on it.

Loved it. Story about a man so broken that he feels he could have ended up committing suicide becoming a man that loves life. All due to ghost who he falls in love with.

Story is great, comedy is great. Only one problem. I felt it didn't have a clear cut ending. I mean it isn't actually needed but my preference would have been to have 1 last "story arc" in which Kana goes through various troubles and finally find out why she died in the first place.

This series was a delight to read because it always had a refreshing feel to it. The main relationship was playful yet intimate, simplistic yet exciting, and gave me something to look forward to.

The manga gives off a relaxed, everyday atmosphere. The character's relationship isn't so much romantic as it is pleasant and is handled in a mature and sex-positive manner. Everyone clearly has drama, but they spare us and keep it to themselves. The plot never contradicts itself, staying internally consistent.

The first volume has a nice climax and wraps it all up nicely. The 2nd and 3rd are standalone stories that keep to the theme of the series, with only one exception. I got the impression that volume one said it all and the rest was delicious icing on the cake.

It feels like bliss, feels like summer rain, feels like a calm starry night at the countryside, with mild cold breeze, shivering the body... that and all other amazing feelings that are hard to explain but cherished close to heart... That is how this manga feels to me.

 Fanservice, ecchi and satisfing story   
Rating: 9.9 / 10.0

What can I say, the story is interesting with day-to-day life humor (so it's not enough to be a comedy) with almost no development after the first 3 chapters that is appealing.
This manga is a very good read for the ones that like small drama and "advanced" romance that leads to ecchi that leads to almost hentai.
If you don't like one part don't get upset, if you continue you'll find always variants of the main story during the manga, happy reading.
(Y did I give 9.9 instead of 10? I'd like it to have more comedy smile)

The story is so amazingly done. The first part is sort of all ecchi, but I really feel the love going on between the 2 characters ie the protangonist and the ghost. They're so cute! This manga gives such a "feel good" feeling to me and it's so refreshing to read a story like this. Gave me a few chuckles too. A Definite Read For Anyone.

At the beginning, this is indistinguishable from porn, but as it drifts away from this as it goes.

Not sure what other people are referring to with sucker punches - the story is pretty much entirely positive and heartwarming. There's a bit of bittersweetness mixed in, but the sweet far outweighs the bitter.

 Just a nice, ecchi slice of life

Pretty much a down-to-earth, take it easy story about a guy and a ghost falling in love. It's one of those feel good stories that tells you about love, pain and the true meaning of death.

I would have liked it more if the author gave some more info about Kana, especially the reason she took her life and what kind of life she was living before that but didn't get the satisfaction of that. Anyway, good read though.

 But is it a sucker punch if you know it's coming?

A calm, relaxing series, and more that a bit ecchi. Although it seems fairly happy, and plays that way more that just a bit, there is the looming knowledge that in the end the relationship just can't work out, and that's going to ruin my day. Awesomeguy says it's a suckerpunch, while I'd say it's more like a sword of damacles.
