~Pita Ten~

Pita Ten is a japanese manga created by Koge Donbo and has also been adapted into an Anime series, so you have the choice to read or watch. Quick note, The anime isn't as sad as the manga, you can see for youself on why that is, i dont explain everything you know ^.^

(Contains spoilers!)


The main character of Pita Ten is Kotarou Higuchi (Guy at front of picture with light purple hair). He is a laid back, calm and collective sixth grader who lives alone with his father after his mother died in a freak accident. Katarou is usually seen feeling down or depressed until one day he meets a strange pink haired girl outside his door. Also falls in love with Misha.


Misha (Girl at far left of picture with pink hair) is an apprentice angel sent to Kotarou to make him happy, a mistake with another boy, Kotaroh, who Misha once looked after and died (AHH big spoiler..well i did warn you). She is extremely cute and perky and Kotarou's new neighbour, who also falls in love with him.


When the group win tickets to a hot spring, they meet a girl known as Shia (Girl on far right of picture with brown/greenish hair) who is secretly a demon apprentice. She is however, extremley polite and gentle, also very good at cooking and cleaning (kinda like a mother figure to Kotarou). She is usually very weak, due to Misha's angelic influence. Shia has a tendency to bite Kotarou (so kinda like a vampire) to find details of her past that she has been searching for. In the end (SPOILER D:) we find out that Shia was Kotarou's great grandfathers wife as back the she was known as Shima. She is always seen with a black cat called Nya aka Klaus (a full fledged demon) who erased her memory of Taro (Kotarou's great grandfather and her children).


Takashi (Ten Chan) is one of Kotarou's close friends (Guy above Kotarou with blonde hair in the picture) and very much a ladies man. Despite his popularity he has troubled home life and develops a major crush on Shia.


Koboshi is also one of Kotarou's close friends (Girl on far right with blonde hair in the picture) and has always loved him and worshipped him. She can't stand Misha for always being with him and she's extremley loud mouthed but kind.


Hiroshi (Dai Chan) is an enemy of Takashi (Guy just behind Takashi with dark purple hair in the picture) who is always nagging about his grades and attempting to be the best. He senses Shia's demon-ness and tries to exoricse her most of the time, also has a huge crush on Misha.


Kaoru is Hiroshi's sister (Last girl in the picture at the top with dark purple hair) who has a serious infatuation with Takashi. She can also be quite violent.


Shino is Kotarou's litte cousin who like him can also see demons, angels and ghosts.


Sasha is Misha's sister and a fully fledged angel who has a small rivalry against Nya and tests Misha for her angel exams. Also has a slight infatuation with Takashi.


Taro Higuchi is Kotarou's great grandfather who fell in love with Shima (Shia's past self).


Kotaroh Higuichi was Taro's first child and Kotarou's grand uncle who loved Misha as a child. Knowing that he couldnt be with her as she had to return to heaven, he commited suicide. And is now mixed up with Kotarou, who Misha thinks is Kotaroh reborn (confusing i know).


The manga is a love story, also kinda a love triangle in some parts and is really cute but can also be quite upsetting (depending on what you think).

It's a really enjoyable read and also a great anime to watch, ch-ch-ch-check it out
