Welcome to Litsy!

Shiro & Kenji, a gay Tokyo couple, have been together 13 years in volume 13 of this manga series. I didn‘t feel compelled to try anything Shiro cooked up this time (almost all of the veggie sides had meat) but I looked over his shoulder with interest as he prepared things like octopus & horse mackerel. And stuff going on with the couple‘s relationship, their work situations & their friends keeps drawing me back too. #LGBTQ #comics #translation

This depiction of mask-wearing in Japanese culture has made me pause and reflect. I used to be sceptical about the efficacy of face masks in preventing the spread of respiratory illness, but not anymore. 😷

It‘s been awhile, but I‘m glad to be back in the kitchen with Shiro.
