Besides how adorable this manga is, I really liked the mangaka's way of presenting each person's relationship with food & grief :
Yutaka - Bullied for the way he looks while eating, and was pushed into a corner of miserably eating alone to the point where his food was tasteless.
Minoru - Craved his deceased mom's cooking, and feels no joy eating food while trying to do his best for his younger brother.
Tane - Just a cute baby enjoying food.

Throughout the story, there were several heartwarming scenes of the new family eating together, and I loved that there was absolutely no shaming in how each one of them enjoyed it, and they simply wanted to have it together as a family

ok, now I should stop reading at 4 am
