Unique and fun series

This manga is fast paced, goofy, and hilarious. It's very entertaining! The art style is loose and appealing. It's not "slick" but instead has a hand-done, slightly rough look that I really enjoy. The story moves along quickly. The style of comedy is very random. The main character reminds me of Yoh from Shaman King - blase and a bit detached, coasting through life, but willing to get serious when things get tough. Overall this is a really good, fun, light read.
