Moyoko Anno (安野 モヨコ) is a Japanese manga artist and a fashion writer, with numerous books published in both categories. Her manga and books have attained considerable popularity among young women in Japan. Though she primarily writes manga of the josei demographic, her most popular series, Sugar Sugar Rune, (serialized in Nakayoshi) is targeted at primary school-aged girls. In a recent Oricon poll, she was voted the number eight most popular manga artist among females and thirteen in the general category. Her manga Happy Mania was made into a television series in 1998, followed by Hataraki Man in October 2007. Sakuran was made into a movie in 2006.
In the movie Japan Sinks, she has a cameo role alongside her husband; their characters were also married. The movie was directed by Shinji Higuchi, who, like her husband Hideaki Anno, is a co-founder of Gainax.
Anno won the 29th Kodansha Manga Award for children's manga in 2005 for Sugar Sugar Rune.

Shigeta didn’t have any sex in this volume! That has to be some character development for her lol
And she turned someone down!!!!
And as much as I want Shigeta with Takahashi, I want her to WANT to be with him …

3 out of 5 stars.
Happy Mania is a mature 18+ Josei manga.
Shigeta, a girl in her 20s, wants to find true love but doesn't seem to date the right men. this volume starts with her breaking off her engagement and being slapped by her bf...seems like a pretty good relationship to escape from to me. As the story progresses we see that her bf is still hung up on her and maybe there is a future for them after all...unless something bad happens.
I liked the lesbian love confession. Shigeta gets all confused, if she dated a girl would people think it was because she could not find a man? Is she attracted to her friend, a lesbian dream sequence (Oh that's why it's rated Mature!) suggests she is. Then she has a bit of a ridiculous revelation that she doesn't love her and that's why they shouldn't date...riiiiight.
It is likable enough, albeit a little on the silly side, I will not be picking up any more volumes.
