Synopsis

Taka takes advantage of Takahashi’s amnesia and fools him into thinking that she is his girlfriend. But he senses that all is not right and sets out to discover more about himself before he is forced to marry Taka. He ends up in Kyoto and takes a job waiting tables while Shigeta, also in Kyoto, visits a temple famous for granting the wishes of those who visit. So close yet so far, the two lonely souls wander Kyoto aimlessly, searching for someone or something that will bring them happiness.

Story by MOYOCO ANNO.

From the Inside Flap:

Anno has reimagined the romance story as an action comic, and the result is a graphic novel that keeps a narrative momentum moving far past the age-old question of 'will she or won't she?'...a deliciously guilty pleasure. -- Publishers Weekly

The simplicity and elegance of the art not only punch up the emotional impact of the story, but have a beautiful sense of graphic design about them so that each page could almost be a piece of art in its own right. -- Adi Tantimedh,Artbomb.net

Whether you know a Shigeta, used to be just like her, or find yourself doing stupid things for love right now, Happy Mania offers a laugh and a shudder of recognition. -- Shaenon K. Garrity, Animerica
