Probably my favorite chapter so far, besides the first. The art is fantastic as always, and the comic fixes alot of the flaws I noticed in the previous volumes.

Art: As usual, the expressions and poses are fantastic, and spice up the comic. The food illustrations also look better I think. Even though I've never had most of the foods they cook, the illustrations make me envision the food better.

Character: For most of the comic the characters have been lacking in personality, besides of course Tsumugi. In this volume I noticed at least Kohei, becoming more of his own character. He feels way more like a father to Tsumugi but that's not his entire character. Kotori also has a bit of an arc, with her learning how to use a knife again or talking to Tsumugi about grief and loneliness.

Story: The story's pretty good in this volume. After 4 volumes, the cooking got a little to repetetive and it became a little boring, as I knew there were still so many volumes. This volume however restores my faith in the comic. It can handle it's themes well. It incoporates the Inuzuka's grief, Tsumugi's youthful energy, the joy of cooking, family, etc, very well. This I think made it a very enjoyable volume.

Still fun and adorable. Still so much fun cooking. Still some surprisingly poignant parent-child moments. I’m loving this series.

The narrative arc is one that remains mostly static, although close reading reveals some change. However, when you're on to a good formula, why stop?
