Furuya has done a brilliant job in creating the characters whether based of real people or probing dreams. Perhaps this is why I love the collection.

None of the characters are perfect, nowhere near it. Dedication, love, need, hopelessness, enjoyment, sorrow all these things are here in these stories, each character has them. However, they all have a particular outlook on life, a particular way of thinking and being. The people we see, the words they speak which we read, are each special. Each story is different, yet in the end they are the same. The stories, eight in all, are each touching in their own way. However, the farther we delve into their lives and their stories the more our eyes open almost in the same way that a newborn baby takes in the world for the first time after leaving the womb. In this collection we touch on various times in various people's lives some seem normal at first, or just quirky.

Most Anime and Manga in the 'Slice of Life' genre are stories you could relate to, or based off real life. I find that the most beautiful thing about the stories. That is how it was for me, I can't promise you`ll have the same reaction, as these stories can be taken differently by the reader. They're put together wonderfully, making the reader want to continue on, either wanting to know more of the characters, their lives, the way they think, or because somehow they connect to the stories and how the characters are portrayed. The collection of short stories is not just a random collection. Happiness written by Usamaru Furuya is a collection of short stories that will, undoubtedly, make you think about life and the people in it.
