Salad Days

I miss that manga...

I recently came across the phrase "salad days," which reminded me of this 18 volume manga I read a long time ago. It was, essentially, a series of one-shots (yes...18 volumes of one shots) about various aspects of romance. It was important to note though, that some of the stories DO get continued with another chapter, and some of the protagonists of one story may serve as supporting characters in another.

Yet there were also a few stories that didn't have a continuation...and they really should've, because they were awesome.

Did I mention that I can't find it anymore? The manga? Yeah, not on my new computer, I'm guessing it's on my old one though. MIGHT be there...I should look eventually. The site I got the series from is now long gone, can't find it at all.



Oh? What does the phrase "salad days" mean? From wikipedia...

"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person."

It was originally from Shakespear's Anthony and Cleopatra, the quote also from the wiki entry.

"...My salad days, / When I was green in judgment, cold in blood..."

Ah, my own salad days...actually they weren't too long ago. I think I'll probably consider this moment as part of my salad days too, a bit down the road.

I miss those days, but the times change, as with the people. Just got to keep on looking forward...

To our own salad days!
