I highly recommend Love Roma. It's comedy/slice of life/romance.
I've got 5 volumes of it now (in the US through Del Rey books). I don't remember exactly how I found it, I might have picked it up randomly in a bookstore.
The art style is a bit simple, but the writing more than makes up for it. A lot of tsukkomi/boke style gags. Hoshino is usually the boke, and Negi is the tsukkomi. She is also a bit tsundere.
One of the interesting things about Love Roma is that while it is about love/relationships, courtship is not the primary focus of the manga. Hoshino and Negi start dating in the first few chapters. Rather, the central focus of the manga is Hoshino and Negi's relationship. The things that happen during a first relationship, trying to make it work through boredom, jealousy, etc. (I am a big fan of slice of life stuff).
I find all the characters funny, and I definitely recommend checking it out. It's not that hard to find, but you might have to Amazon it. Del Rey is #3 behind Viz and Tokyopop, iirc.
How ya doing, buddy?
