Kotarou Higuchi, a [[Cute Shotaro Boy]] and classical [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Grade School Student]] suffering from [[Parental Abandonment]], suddenly finds himself [[The Glomp|glomped]] by his new [[Verbal Tic]] -afflicted [[The Ditz|Ditzy]] [[Genki Girl]] neighbor, a girl named Misha. She assures him that she is an angel in training and she is on Earth to take care of him. She then proceeds to demonstrate it enrolling in his same school (although since she is seemingly older and assigned to the High School section, she still escapes to the elementary wing to watch over Kotarou), following and glomping him at the minor chance and often without excuse, for amusement of Kotarou's best friend Takashi Ayanokouji (aka Ten-chan). This is to the great annoyance of Koboshi Uematsu, a girl who has a crush on Kotarou, who immediately sees Misha as a rival.

Kotarou Higuchi, a Cute Shotaro Boy and classical Ordinary Grade School Student suffering from Parental Abandonment, suddenly finds himself glomped by his new Verbal Tic -afflicted Ditzy Genki Girl neighbor, a girl named Misha. She assures him that she is an angel in training and she is on Earth to take care of him. She then proceeds to demonstrate it by enrolling in his same school (although since she is seemingly older and assigned to the High School section, she still escapes to the elementary wing to watch over Kotarou), following and glomping him at the minor chance and often without excuse. This situation causes great amusement to Kotarou's best friend Takashi Ayanokouji (aka Ten-chan), and great annoyance to Koboshi Uematsu, a girl who has a crush on Kotarou, who immediately sees Misha as a rival.

Complications (and hilarity) ensues when, after Kotarou discovers that Misha is really an angel, a demon apprentice named Shia arrives in town. But, while Misha is just inefficient as an angel, Shia is absolutely awful as a demon, since she is anemic, sweet, considerate, and a perfect housewife. Then, when Misha and Shia move in together, even with both girls being aware of each other identity and alignment, it doesn't take long to predict that things are not going to end well.

Pita-Ten is incredibly sweet and light-hearted, even with the dark past of almost all the cast. The original manga of this series was drawn by Koge-Donbo, the mangaka who designed Di Gi Charat and A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, so expect the same kind of Moe Moe character design.
