I like how Inokuma came up with the phrase "Salad Days" as the title. The idea of collaborating different short stories was really well done, along with 1 major story with Futaba and Yuuki. The ups and downs that we all experience while riding the love roller coaster is what this manga really conveys. And more so, to put it in as short chapters was just really enjoying to read. There was alot of funny, sad, happy times that made this manga so good. There wasn't a lengthy drifting storyline which would bore the reader, so I compliment Inokuma by doing so. Furthermore by ending the manga with the concentrated couple, was indeed a satisfying ending.
In the end, I came up with 2 favorite chapters. They were:
Cape Tryst and Uniform
What were your favorite chapters? |

I just like any chapter that has Futaba and Yuuki in it.
But I also liked that Run Sabu! or something. That funny looking dude that always wear a smile. |

Haha, Sabu was a funny kid, indeed. That one was pretty good, and yes Futaba and Yuuki ended nicely. |

| One thing I didn't like is that Futaba is secretive (with the painting chapter) If she had said something, it wouldn't have been a sad chapter. Hell, I'd do the same thing that Yuuki did if my girlfriend came home late every day with no explanation other than "I was busy" |

| Great manga for the romantics out there. Talk about revisiting the past. |

| I like romance manga but I don't know about salad days, I just didn't like the way the mangaka did the stories. I always wait before judging mangas so I kept reading it but I got tired of it. Couldn't continue really. ^^;; |

Good point there, Salad Days is really all about school romance or whatever. |

Well, the synopsis did say "A collection of short stories" so I was satisfied with the manga. |

Well, if all the love stories turn out in a good way, what are we expecting from the manga then? Got to have some heart-breaking moments! |

this was the greatest of the romance mangas i have read so far
even though the stories are short the stories i really enjoyed were the ones about futabara and yuuki which is the main story
though i wish it was longer to show the end
i guess this is how all good romantic mangas end
i hope they will continue the series again one day
one day |
