Happy Cafe Vol 1 Kou Matsuzuki 9781427817303 Books

Happy Cafe is the story of Uru Takamura a 16 year-old Japanese girl who recently moved out of her parent's house and takes a job at Cafe Bonheur. There she meets her two quirky coworkers; narcoleptic Ichiro and dour Shindo. Art and story are by Kou Matsuzuki and translation by Lori Riser.

There's really not much here. Uru is a Pollyana always trying to be cheerful, her coworkers stand around and look handsome in a shoujo manga sort of way. There's little drama and little humor.

Matsuzuki includes a couple of notes to the reader about her fear of bullet trains, her lack of friends and how much she wants us to like her book. They are easily the cutest and most touching things in the book.

She has real trouble giving her characters distinct faces or even consistent ones, usually we have to tell them apart by hairstyle. Sometimes she just draws outlines, little better than stick figures. She also uses a lot of distracting zip tones. All of these are common problems in shoujo manga, so if you don't mind them elsewhere you probably won't mind them here. But there's really nothing here that makes Happy Cafe stand out among dozens other shoujo titles that have been translated in recent years.

Finally it does have the wonderful line "Even if you're attacked by a pedophile, don't kill him with your Herculean strength" so it's not a total loss.

Happy Cafe Vol 1 Kou Matsuzuki 9781427817303 Books Reviews

NOTE I am reviewing ALL of the chapters. =]

I got Happy Cafe volume 1 from 3 years ago, it was pretty much the first manga I ever read (I had just got into anime at the time.).
I thought it was very cute and funny. Took me a while to have the pleasure of reading all the chapters, due to reasons and the wait was very hard. >_<

Before I finished Happy Cafe, I had become a huge Shojo manga addict and was reading any I could get my hands on, I just love romance and all the cute sweetness of shojos.
Now I am aware of all the cliches, art styles, typical stories, etc of the shojo manga genre.

Happy Cafe was cliche, and it had typical shojo moments, but that didn't stop it from being a wonderful, heart warming, adorable romantic comedy manga that it was.
Happy Cafe is now one of my most favorite mangas ever, it holds a special place in my heart and I could read it over and over.

THE STORY
The story was simple, with shojo cliches, but it was touching. I even cried a few times. ')

THE CHARACTERS
I feel in love with nearly all the characters, especially the main 3 Uru, Shindou and Ichirou. The art was wonderful and the guys where very hot/handsome. D
They had the feelings characters should have, to make you like them. (Unlike a lot of manga characters that you don't 'feel' anything from or for and they just fall flat.)

THE ART
The art was beautiful (imo), very nice and clean and of course cute. Even the food looked good and made me hungry. xD

OVERALL
I. LOVED. It. =]
Out of the 100s of shojo mangas I have read, Happy Cafe is one of my favorite and is one of the best. ^_^
(I wish Tokyopop hadn't gone down, now I don't know where to buy all the volumes. T_T)

I loved Happy Cafe, And I hope you do too. =w=b
Everything was fine.,
so, the volume was shipped between two sheets of cardboard paper glued together. The seller creased the book corner whilst putting it into the "package" and the top corner of the spine was in terrible condition. Of course, I bought the book used, but the description said "like new" so I assumed it would be dull corners and maybe a stain . I do not recommend buying something from this seller.
what do you get when you mix super strength, violence, and narcolepsy? The answer is Hilarity and Uru, Shindo, and Ichiro, respectively. At first glance, shindo and ichiro are the typical bishonen; pretty with great hair. then they start interacting with our enthusiastic heroine and their personalities break through. When Matsuzuki-san calls them the demon lord and weirdo I thought she read my mind. Uru is clumsy and adorable, she makes decisions based on what she thinks is best for everyone but her self.

The art is perfect for the feel of the book. The backgrounds are simple, but the story is about the characters. The uncluttered landscapes would actually make this series a good first-time manga. The characters are well drawn. Uru is very expressive and tends to get huge puppy dog eyes when she is excited, which gives comic contrast to her stoic coworkers.

In short, this is a great manga if you enjoy shojo. There is a formula that this book does not break from, but you should never go into a book expecting it to break new ground, especially when it is part of a genre that relies heavily on its tradition. If you have only contempt for shojo manga you may want to steer clear of this series.
I love this manga! It’s hilariously funny so glad I picked this up. The storyline is less romance and more development with friends with a dash of romance more towards the end of the series. I found myself laughing while reading and getting weird looks at the airport. I should have recommended this to them!
