LN volume 1(no spoilers):

Went through the first volume of this a while ago. If I had to compare it to something...it would be Dawson's Creek? In the sense that the characters are typical teenage kids in maturity, but are much more smart, articulate and verbose than the anime norm. Two of the leading female characters in particular are very smart, and they go on and on about ontology and the like. The romance in the book are also handled maturely, more like how real teenagers would approach romance (part of this is attributed to the fact that the guys and girls actually think about sex) than how most anime teenagers would. The characters, despite their "maturity" are still very likeable and adorable. Needless to say, I find the characters very well done.

The supernatural part is what makes this series a bit wonky. I won't say much more than this cause anymore would be spoiling.

So in short, I can vouch for the source material being in my opinion pretty good(the first volume anyway). Its no K-On! that's for sure.
