Not Love But Delicious Foods Make Me So Happy! by

this is basically a sorta autobio by the mangaka of long-running BL series "What Did You Eat Yesterday?". it's from 2005, so there's some dated humor (sexism, transmisogynistic joke near the end, arguably homophobic joke about the nature of her work), but not nearly as much as I expected + it had elements that surprised me in their more progressive nature (her being super attracted to a fat friend was refreshing to see!). it was cool seeing that the mangaka behind such a food-focused manga like WDYEY is just as into food herself and has a lot of knowledge to back it up. I also honestly appreciated her talking to her gay friend about her yaoi works and how that conversation was handled. it's got a lot of elements of 2000s josei manga that I like, so it was an enjoyable enough read for me but I wouldn't say it's a must-buy unless you're nostalgic for 2000s autobio comics or like 2000s josei as much as I do!
