My first manga!
@Lindy was right - it took me a while to adjust to the back-to-front, right-to-left-pane arrangement, but once I figured it out, it was easy peasy.
Cute slice-of-life story of the lives of two disparate men, with recipes. I enjoyed it!

Lindy 🎉 🎉 🎉😁 5y

LeahBergen I want to try this one, too. The only other manga I‘ve read is another Japanese cooking series called

Oishinbo: Japanese Cuisine, Vol. 1: A la Carte

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @LeahBergen Oo! I‘ll look that one up! 5y

The realism & character development in this series keeps me coming back. There are sometimes inadvertently funny #translations, as in the case where Shiro finally buys baking powder (he has used pancake mix in past issues as a workaround, ie in making brownies). This time, Kenji convinces him to make pancakes from scratch. Even though Shiro gives in, he doesn‘t understand the love of “powder-based stuff” (ie baking powder based). #LGBT #comics

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I want to try these! This will be my first manga - looks so charming. 5y

Lindy @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled It is pretty charming, even though there are some awkward translations. An even better choice for your first manga, especially if you are interested in food & drink, is

Drops of God: Les Gouttes de Dieu

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Oh, thanks!! I‘ll check that out! 5y

Lindy @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Allow yourself to go slowly. It might take a little while to get used to the right-to-left flow of the images and text boxes. 5y
