Shortcake Cake (ショートケーキケーキ, Shōtokēki Kēki) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Suu Morishita. It was serialized in Shueisha‘s shōjo manga magazine Margaret from November 2015 to March 2019.

Plot

When Ten Serizawa starts high school, she has to take the bus for two hours every day. At first, this doesn’t bother her much, but when she becomes friends with her classmate Ageha Haruno, Ten doesn’t have much time to do anything. So one night, she secretly stays overnight at Ageha’s dorm, where three boys of the same age live. Ten likes it so much that she moves into the dorm and no longer has a long commute. A room had become available after another girl moved out. This girl had fallen in love and moved out because the dorm rules against having someone of the opposite sex in the room.

After moving in, Ten gets to know her roommates better. Chiaki Kasadera is helpful and impresses her with his education and good looks. Riku Mizuhara, on the other hand, is also handsome and admired by many girls, but annoys Ten with his brusque manner in rejecting female admirers. She tells him this clearly, making an impression on Riku. He can’t get Ten out of his head either. And since both girls long to fall in love someday, the dorm rules become a problem for them as well.
