<p>I read a Manga years ago that I really enjoyed but I cannot remember the name of it.</p>

<p>The story involved a guy, who is a student, slowly falling in love with the building manager, who moved in when he was about to leave. He ended up staying and tries to win her over but the other people in the building end up interfering. I remember they being really odd characters. </p>

<p>The manager is a widow. She had dark hair.</p>

<p>The genre was a romantic comedy.</p>
