Well, if you don't know by now, Naoki Urasawa is my favorite mangaka. So far I had read Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto, and watched the anime Yawara!! all done by him. I've just spent the whole day reading this series by him, called Happy! and I found it to be really good.
The manga may be called Happy!, but this manga is everything but happy. The main character is thrown into alot of hopeless situations in the hopes of earning enough money to support her 3 sibblings. The manga features plenty of cool characters, and one of the biggest backstabbing bitches I've ever seen. She's not killing people, but she might just rival Johan from Monster and Friend from 20th Century Boys as far as evil scheming manipulating characters go.
Anyways, many cool character interactions and a cool story to read, and a bit of tennis thrown in for good measure.
So anyone here reads this? I sure hope so, would like to discuss it with someone.
