Read as part of a recommendation from Stephen Weiner's The 101 Best Graphic Novels. Not really my cup of tea. Edition was designed to have authentic manga feel, reading right to left - design was well done as this reading style fell in very quickly.

In this story, our hero accidentally calls a goddess help line one evening and is granted one wish. He immediately wishes the goddess will stay with him always. Forgetting he's in an all male dormitory, he and his goddess are kicked out and their misadventures begin. It's one saccharine tale after another...I know there are fans, I'm clearly not the demographic.
I read this series a while ago, but I still love them. Its a really sweet story of two people becoming friends and really understanding each other. There is a equally sweet romance there too, but it isn't overpowering.

I've read all of the series and liked them all!
timeless tale. Fujishima's art is very fluid and humorous. The action moves at a very quick pace. This is the first of twenty-plus volumes of the manga series. Many readers will want to be completists and read the entire series.
A nice start to an interesting series. I'll put a full review on Bureau42
