This manga follows the life of a man after he loses his house and his job, ending up having to live in a run-down house. In fact he feels so sad that he even contemplates on commiting suicide. However, in the new run-down house he is in now, he meets Kana. A girl ghost which changes his outlook on life.

The story is told in first person, mostly from the man's perspective, sometimes from Kana's perspective and sometimes from the perspectives of other character in the story.The story is very simple, sweet and beautiful. Nothing too complicated, no harem, no stupid love triangles, no gender benders, no overly dramatic situations or awkward/wimpy acting on part of the characters. Just how two people live together everyday. Almost each chapter has its own short-story.

Now this manga contains several ecchi scenes but they are gracefully executed (compared to other similar mangas) and this blends in with the romance element fairly well. Nothing like the cheap fan service you would get from your typical ecchi/shounen manga. Also, don't think you'll get the same disgusting stuff that you get from your average hentai.

Characters are pretty decent. Each have a nice personality which remains pretty consistent throughout the manga. Steady character development is present and nothing seems rushed.

The art is good too, a bit different from your average look. I personally liked it, especially how the mangaka drew Kana: who looks very appropriately drawn, fitting her character/personality perfectly.

Overall, I found it to be better than the others in its genre. The slow pace and calm setting was a breath of fresh air from your average "OMG! he did this, she did that" kind of romance manga and this was exactly what I was seeking. The relationship between the main characters is relatively well-developed and leaves you feeling peaceful after each chapter. I liked it so much that I avoided reading the last 2 chapters for 10 months just so that it wouldn't end soon.

Read it if you're looking for something different; calming, slice of life-ish in a romance manga. Definitely a 10 as it simply out-shines its competitors in the sea of romance mangas that we see today.
