This series is strange because you can really see how similar it is to Ranma 1/2, with some characters having direct parallels with characters from Ranma 1/2. I would go as far to say that this series is Ranma 1/2 if it were written to not have any supernatural or fantasy elements.

That being said it is just as worth it to read this series. Jun is extremely different than Ranma and is a great protagonist in his own way. He comes across as naive but really, really likeable. All of the side characters are hilarious and I actually prefer the tag-team side characters of the pretty boy and the yakuza boy who are interested in Jun over Ranma's Kuno. Gags are hilarious and Ayano and Jun are well-rounded and deep characters.

I noticed a quality drop in the last volume where it started to veer into a strange idol subplot with new characters but that's about where the scanlation ends so it's not a big issue.

A real funny story. Tohru's early artwork looks very different from his modern style, but the crazyness is still here.
