I simply love her work... her manga characters. and I really like how she puts a taste of reality in one of her work. I think it was Cappuccino. Though I wished it were longer. I read most of her work, though i cant remember the plot by now, might just re-read her work when I'm bored. :)

I've read a couple of her mangas and never noticed they were by the same mangaka!!!! Lucky I checked cause I was always thinking heyyy doesn't this art style look kinda like Marmalade boy~ I was reading ultra maniac at the time too~ I love her works XD

@ Dunkjoe

One of Wataru's works, Cherish, has Happiness as a synonym name.
Maybe that's the one you are looking for.

Um I thought she has a manga called Happiness (YOSHIZUMI Wataru)? Is it in MAL? Or is there another name to it? It has 2 chapters.

i just wanted Spicy Pink to be a little longer. It was so fast. I wanna read more mangas about mangakas and stuff, it's so fun :(
