Himari Momochi is an orphan who finds out that her parents left her a house (good news), but once she gets there, she finds three pretty young men (good news...?) who are squatting on her property (bad news). So, in typical manga fashion, Himari ignores their exhortations to leave the property and instead decides that the best way to stake her claim is to clean the house.

Definitely a lot of similarities with Kamisama Kiss, especially considering how much Nue (the white haired bishounen with cat ears and a fox tail on the cover) looks and has the same personality-type like Tomoe. And I don't know if it's because I've been reading shoujo manga for a long time, but the instant attachment (insta-love) between main characters Himari and Aoi feels shallow. Himari feels empathy for him because he has to bear the burden of being the house's protector, but is that enough to feel love? And what's Aoi's motive in this situation?

Probably not for me, but the art is pretty enough, and it may be worth reading if you're watching the anime since the manga tells the story a lot more clearer than the anime does, so far.
