I've read the Japanese versions and I've already finished the series.
Take it from me, this manga is enjoyable from beginning to end.
Though the storyline starts to get a little complex (yes, quite surprising if you aren't that far in the series) at Volume 10 (and it only gets a more complex from there, and I'm definitely not joking about that).
Anyway, I'd say the ending is a bit sad, but I'd say it's pretty appropriate and satisfying (although really confusing in the last chapter, since it's not explained completely).
Characters in here are quite interesting, too. I especially like how the mangaka actually pays attention to the other characters besides the main pair (Karin and Kenta) by giving them backstories (she's even made a one-shot Maki special in Dragon AGE's May 2008 issue. Awesome.). If only more mangaka actually did this. -_-;
I'm sad it's not a more popular manga considering how funny and cute it is.
I highly, highly recommend this series to anyone, because it's shounen with some shoujo elements which means most people should like it because of this unique mixture of two genres.
