mehsi's review against another edition

I got the Humble Bundle which included various manga including this series. I did enjoy this volume but at points it felt more like a cooking/recipe book, yes, I do love getting recipes (and some I want to try), but I want them to be a bit more integrated in the story. There were random bits with Shiro in it and well Shiro is a prick. I still don't get why these two are living together, I mean, does Shiro even like Kenji? I don't see any spark between them. It feels like they are just brothers or acquaintances rather than lovers/best friends.
I will give it another volume, hopefully things get better. Maybe more Kenji x Shiro see their relationship a bit more, less cooking or better integrated in the story, and more fun stories so it is not all about recipes.

Another installment in the flawed middle-aged gay couple universe. The food still going strong

Really left me with a meh feeling overall. Not great, not horrible, just meh

I like this graphic novel - odd mixture of graphic novel and cook book - makes me so hungry.

Volume 2 continues to delight and entertain, though I enjoyed the first one a bit more. Maybe it was the initial novelty of it. I'm glad the humorous and/or informative asides are back, as well as the cooking sounds. Who knew just reading the sounds that food makes could bring on a hunger attack? Again the recipes tantalize, but I don't enjoy cooking enough to seek out the ingredients and give them a try. I'm content to just read about them, and appreciate the food artwork.
In this volume, we gain a bit more insight into the main character's backstory. Some of Shiro's work is explored, but not as much as before. Similarly, less family issues are discussed. I felt like there was more food shopping, pondering, cooking, and eating going on.
Still good, I'll seek out #3.

nesse volume algumas coisas me incomodaram mais. eu sei q esse é um mangá de comida mas agr eu só vejo uma repetição, n vejo a comida sendo utilizada como um meio de comunicar afeto, pq parece q o shiro nem se importa com isso :( queria mais do desenvolvimento emocional dele, na cirurgia do pai dele ele praticamente n sentiu nada durante o tempo todo sla achei estranho...... enfim vou aguardar os próximos capítulos
