Happy Sugar life is the best romance anime/manga Ive ever seen/read. the story of a love seen as forbidden, which would never be tollerated really moved me. This manga showed a very new side of that kind of craziness you find with yandere type characters, as the main character (particularly in the manga) has a simple, but also complex and stirring character. Satou Matsuzaka (16) finds Shio Koube (8) randomly on the street, takes her to her home and begins living together with her. For the very first time Satou feels the love and happiness she has always tried to feel, tried to understand and ... searched for since her aunt told her about her understanding of happiness when she was a child, which she could not understand and since then, tried to find her own explanation of love. (a little spoiler warning here) As we see in the manga later on, Satou revealed her sadness about not feeling love for anything no matter how hard she tried, which is why she is able to justify anything, also the mureder on her best friend and others by her love, she did not live at all before she meet Shio.(SPOILER END) Also, the fear of never being able to feel true love, feel truly happy and the need to guard it, no matter what needs to be sacraficed, is probably the most hitting and relatable thing Ive ever seen, no matter if fictional, or real. Although I am relating a lot to Satou, Shio has a very special charcter as well, with her being seen as a pure girl being kind and nice but also having her issues Satou helps her with like she helps Satou. with their love for the other. A lot of people, who did not like the manga/anime, I saw argue with it being unrealistic and losing its enjoyment due to not being able to experience the story as if it would be real. Besides Shio and Satou, the rest to me are just some weird people, not necessarily completly unrealistic, but made to tag along the story and create the drama we see in Satous character. But, as long as you understand for yourself that Satou and Shios love is nowhere near absurd or unrealistic theres a good chance you will enjoy/ did enjoy this manga. The strong emotions are also supported by beautiful art, complimenting the events incredibly well, as well as an still, with all those despiseable charcters decently exciting story line, although what really makes it so special to me is everything around our two main protagonists. For me romance stories, all I ever experienced all lacked this kind of complexity with other feelings then sadness happiness and maybe jealousy. it was just all the love in the world, so simple and overlooked, something that is more additional than necessary, its just wrong. Happy sugar life displays the need to feel love for someone, true love to be able to keep on living or find a life with love, its difference from the thought that love isnt eternal is just what I think makes this story more beautiful than any other romance ive seen perfectly shown on Satou and Shio. I do not think that everyone will like this story but for some people it surely is amazing.
