I'm a big fan of food manga! And food, too, now that I think of it... :) The characters aren't very likable, but the food was great! And I think that if I stuck this out (which I don't think I will...) the characters would probably grow on me, too. Potentially worth reading!

I didn't like this one. The food prep was actually cool. I was able to enjoy the friendship rooted in frugalness, too. The first ML was rude and unlikable. I won't continue.

This is definitely an interesting manga that focuses on the relationship between a lawyer and a hairdresser as they work through how society will perceive their gay relationship. I first caught wind of this manga because I was looking for more food based manga series to pick up and this was on the list. It more slice of life than anything with some interesting conversations. I think I may give it a couple more volumes before I make the decision on whether I want to continue or not.

Strange. Part slice of life gay romance/part cookbook.

I like the idea of it being half slice of life and half cookbook. 

It’s primarily a wholesome time with a side of issues faced by gay people in Japan. I don’t know if it’s the translation but I just don’t feel like some of the social issues raised are handled all that well. Sometimes it doesn’t gel with the comedy. And it just gets me thinking too much and too sad to make the other bits of the manga enjoyable.

I probably won’t continue the series.
