Also, from what I hear (I don't buy very many English mangas, so I can't speak from personal experience), KareKano is done very poorly, both in editing and translating. Some people I've talked to have sworn off all TP releases after reading volume 1 of KareKano. And these are people who generally read just about anything, so it hit me kinda hard. Anyway, this is my favorite shoujo manga of all time. I love it more than is natural for a man to love a manga written for 16 year old girls.
I wouldn't know - at least, not yet. I'm slowly adding to my Japanese manga collection now, but my English one comes first since it's much easier to read.

Book 15? Hasn't #16 been out for awhile now, though? I thought that I had seen it on the shelves for the past few months...
