Next, she borrows some money and finally scores her own place ... but ends up letting Fuku crash there on the latter's wedding night. Meanwhile, Takahashi is working on a bee farm, and desperately trying to forget everything Kayoko means (meant?) to him.

Series Description
Love and relationships are explored in this revolutionary new manga series.
Shigeta, a young woman of 24, spends her days working at Tanaka Books and fretting over her love-life or, more accurately, the lack thereof. The thing is, though, the biggest obstacle between Shigeta and a satisfying relationship seems to be Shigeta herself. When it comes to men, the poor girl has exceedingly poor judgement, exacerbated by her even poorer self-esteem.
Think of Happy Mania as a sort of Sex and the City, manga-style.
