nihongo|"Salad Days"|サラダデイズ| is a romantic shōnen manga created by Shinobu Inokuma and was serialized in Shōnen Sunday by Shogakukan. The manga is a collection of romance stories in a high school and college setting similar to the several "Boys Be..." manga series.

"Salad Days"' main theme revolves around romance: the premise of the series is to tell various short stories about romance and relationships from finding love, to dealing with it, and the pain that can come from it. Almost all of the stories are standalone with one exception that becomes a recurring storyline at various points in the last two-thirds of the manga. While the stories are standalone, characters featured in other stories will often show up in the current story as part of the supporting cast.

Originally, the term "salad days" is said to have originated from Shakespeare’s "Antony and Cleopatra" of 1606, in the speech at the end of Act One in which Cleopatra is regretting her youthful dalliances with Julius Caesar: “My salad days, When I was green in judgment”.

Shinobu Inokuma also features this line in one of the stories, thus making it clear from where he took the title.
