I really like this manga, I just didn't give more because I didn't like the "pre" ending. About the last 3rd and 2nd chapters... I never liked that "dark" thing oh "suddenly a story" that many tend to give, never liked that. Otherwise, it's a very funny story with interesting characters where just about any single "weird thing" is explained somehow. Just try it and see if you like how the story flows and the kind of comedy this was. You will, most probably, really like it.
The story was actually done quite well, there were many foreshadowings that were referenced to way later in the story.
Every character got their own story, each was well told, leading to good character development for everyone.
No character was unlikeable.
Comedy was good.
Many experimental approches to manga presentation were woven inbetween, which was quite good, especially some of the 4koma intersections. Also totally nailed the card trick while presenting it to 8 people at once, so, good advice there!
On a sidenote, I think kuroko in to aru kagaku no railgun might be completely based on tamami, it's as if they were twins.

I recommend it. Sometimes the chapters a bit confusing at first but it's explained towards the end of it and it all clicks then. Some chapters were also presented in very interesting ways. A+
After I read the first volume I almost didn't read any more because it seemed kinda boring, but then I read volume 2 and began to like it a lot. Maybe it just took me a while to warm up to the characters, who have memorable personalities and antics. This is a very character driven manga. The manga is generally light hearted and funny, but there are some serious themes as well to help keep things interesting.
*update now that I've read the whole series* The ending is REALLY good. Certainly worth a read for anyone who likes romantic comedy. I will be buying the japanese books to support the author.

This is one of my favorite manga of all time. Fun story, great characters, not too much fanservice. If only I could finish the manga...
The anime it was quite well done, and I gotta say that I got to know Mahoraba from there, but as it happens in various animes, it lacks a good closure. Since the anime was finished BEFORE the manga ended, then it was expected. The manga still has some storyline to get done, and I think it is quite noticeable that the manga storyline is better and the all the charachters, including the side-charachters are more well developed than the anime.
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...
Honestly i didn't like some of the characters and the first half was pretty boring. But the 2nd half is where its at. It didn't feel rushed either.
It depends on how boring you think it since some of the comedy is hit or miss. Personally i enjoyed about 30% of the comedy if you enjoy like 50% i think you'll like this series though the 2nd half makes this series worth reading Anyway

They all meet, share some time of life, or even depart , here, Narutakirou.
Many events some happy while some sad (mostly happy).
All tenants here are so much friendly,good peoples, lovely.
This story is touching, said about friendship said about love said about family. It's part of life that's so cute.
Only problem is too many character (110+ characters included animals and dolls that have named) but it's worth 10/10
