So here's a manga that isn't well known, but one that I absolutely adore. Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume. Also known as Happy Cafe. Its about sixteen year-old Uru and her adventures at her part-time job at Bonheur, a pastry cafe. Even though she's small and she looks like an elementary school kid, she has super strength. Her co-workers Shindou and Ichiro make work interesting for her. Ichiro with his randomness, while Shindou, the second in command, keeps them all on task.
There is definitely some fluff, and it is overall a cute little manga series. However, if you are looking for romance, I suggest looking elsewhere. This manga is more comedy, with a hint of romance. Seriously, I mean it when I say HINT. Kou Matsuzuki makes you sure of that. Romance is hinted at all the time, but most of it is just build up. Uru doesn't actually realize her feelings for anyone until the final book. So if you are looking for a romance novel, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for something cute and funny, this is what you want to read.
Personally, this is one of my favorites. Uru is absolutely adorable, and she's pretty blind when it comes to love. She's always thinking about others, and like most manga protagonists, she brings people together. I highly recommend this manga. Just saying. I can't stress how much I enjoyed reading this. I laughed a lot and Happy Cafe made my day countless times. I hope you'll read it and maybe it will make yours too.
