A very soft and gentle read. I loved the recipes throughout the book & the personal touch they gave. I found the characters really likeable and enjoyed watching their relationship develop. Tane added a lot of humour and I really loved watching him move around on each page!

The relationship also felt very realistic and both characters felt like they had a lot of depth to them! It was nice to learn their backstories & history, as well as seeing them grow!

This was such a GOOD read! Had me crying like a baby for sure T.T
If you are looking for a wholesome, "found family" kind of story, this one is for you.

Our Dining Table is honestly the sweetest thing I have ever read!! I was almost in tears from how soft and warm it was. And right now, I just want to start reading it all over again! 🥺🥰

I think the thing I loved the most was that it focused on how food can bring people together. And the love that can bloom from a simple act of kindness. I also really liked the anxiety rep in this. Both Yutaka and Minoru are so relatable in that respect. I’m giving this a full five stars. If you’re looking for something soft and sweet and heartwarming to read, give this manga a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I fell in love with Tane!!! He is just a precious little bean!!! So dear and cute!! There are certain scene that I felt angry. Ie; Yutaka's brother. Damn! Why was he just a dick! I know it was short but geez... Anyways, I know for a fact that Yutaka's family has their reasons but still the level of ignorant and neglect towards Yutaka are just beyond.. I am so glad Yutaka and Minoru found each other's warmth and love in the end and Yutaka are not bother by his family neglegance. Overall, They are so precious family. I love them so much!!!

I really loved this manga. It was so sweet and all the characters were so lovable. The storyline was incredibly easy to follow and I felt satisfied with the way it ended. I really enjoy reading fast-paced things like this to break up heavy reading. This really helped refresh my brain and I really recommend this story!

A very sweet slice-of-life story about a loving found family and delicious homemade food. It was also funny at times and I found myself laughing out loud.
