Dreamin' Sun series by Ichigo Takano

When Shimura Kameko runs away, she stumbles upon a strange man in the park.  He offers her a place to live on three conditions.

1.  Tell him the reason she ran away.
2.  Find his house key.
3.  Have a dream and fall in love.

Kameko quickly agrees to these terms and moves into a house that immediately feels like home.



This is a great manga series for those who enjoy plucky heroines who find their own way.  It reminded me of Kamisama Kiss or Fruits Baskets without the supernatural elements.  It's a fun, quick read great for teen girls.
