Female-oriented, no romance. One chapter in the table of contents was titled "Ah," the next was "Ah-ah," and so on. They weren't all just "Ah," though; there were others too. I think I remember one called "Gah." It was a really funny story.
The heroine Linnai lived on the street because her father was in debt. She became homeless because she rescued a dog on the road, and was taken to her small "home" by the dog - an abandoned shrine. The homeless Linnai had no choice but to settle down in the shrine, starting a life that she had never expected.
