About the series
A gentle, slice-of-life romance from Viz Media, Shortcake Cake (2018–2021) follows a high school girl who moves into a boarding house filled with eccentric older boys, only to find herself caught in a quiet love triangle. Written and illustrated by the creative team of Emi Louie-Nishikawa and Suu Morishita (credited as 森下suu), this 12-issue series is a sweet, slow-burn exploration of first love and chosen family. It matters as a charming example of shojo manga’s ability to balance heartfelt emotion with everyday humor, offering a warm escape for fans of tender, character-driven stories.
