Still a very solid manga, but Shiratori wears weak-sauce cloaks that look too fugly and girly. Wait, he has no testicles to start with anyways. The other characters save his lack of manliness.
Overall I think it's a great series. Extremely funny for people who can appreciate the kind of humor used. Shiratori is the main problem with the story, I know he's supposed to be caring and what not but he has no manily features at all from what I've seen. Some jokes are used to much throughtout. Overall a good read though.
as usual, can't really stand Shiratori-type protagonists... even though i enjoyed Keitaro (Love Hina)... I guess LH's success spawned a whole generation of weak-perverted spineless men as protagonist of romance comedies... anime was very well done, (kid friendly too!) and manga wasn't all that special anymore...
