Characters: 

Satou Yuka ~ She's a strong and stubborn 16-years-old girl with black short hair and big eyes (which are common for shoujo girls). She goes to all-girls-high school where her new big brother is teaching. 

Satou Taichi ~ He's Yuka's new big brother with incredible sister complex. He's a little subid and childish and always cousing troubles for Yuka. Even though he is really gentle person and doesn't want to hurt anyone. But only those who dare to come close to his cute little sister. 

And many many other characters, but I'll tell only about main pairs. 

So what makes it good?

The plot of the story is really funny. That's one of the strong points of this serie. You can find humor almost every page and it's good to read when you need something light without serious angsty teenage love problems. It's pretty easy going but still takes readers attached to it. Female lead character is also very special. She's not typical always crying cute and small girl but very strong willed one. That's good that there's also this gind of girls in shoujo manga. And this isn't also one of those "way too quick" mangas. The story is proggressing slow enough but still not too slow to get bored. The pace is just fine.
