SpoilerI felt like this volume focused more on the characters and some small events in the community. I liked the little "battle" regarding the best seasoning and the introduction of the bard. The last chapter when everyone shows up early and had breakfast was very wholesome.
lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

It's Fall in Eiteriach, so the menu at Otherwordly Izakaya is changing.
Pumpkin! But - pumpkin and squid? Well, all the customers seem to love it.
And - Hermina is pregnant!
Stories developing within the series seem to be firming up. And some hints on story lines to come.
On to Volumes 6 and 7 - which arrived on my porch today (thanks USPS for delivering packages on Sunday!).

Watched the anime first, wanted to see more.
All these fried food can't be healthy though.

My least favorite in the series to date, mostly because the plot points and recipes alike both feel like repeats of things we've already seen. Cozy, yet not very substantial.
