Cooking & Food Manga Recommendations

Hi everyone,

This post is for fan entertainment, I am not being paid.

Recently I hit a slump in my manga, my normal tastes are cozy/slice of life, mysteries, and cooking. Recently I want more of the cooking manga, but I figured I would post my favorite cooking manga here in hope if there is people out there in the same boat as me right now they may get inspired and see if these recommendations are for them.

Sweetness & Lighting by Gido Amagakure- this was my first cooking manga. This manga is amazing. Our main characters are Kouhei Inuzuka he is a teacher and a widower, he is a single father raising his younger daughter Tsumugi. Unfortunately, he isn’t the best at cooking and relys on take-outs and bento. Wanting to give Tsumugi a healthier lifestyle. Also one of his students opens her family’s restaurant to them and they all learn how to cook. I feel like I cant do this series justice, this has the coziness of a warm kitchen and also at the end of the chapters they have the recipes.

Beauty and the Feast by Satomi U- I love this one as well, this manga was really cozy to read with some heart felt moments along with some comedy bits here and there. The story centers around Shuko Yakumo 28 year old woman that lives alone after becoming a widow in a apartment complex, and our male lead Shohei Yamato a freshman in high school that is a baseball player. Yakumo feeds Shohei, which is a feat in itself since the boy could eat enough food for like 3-4 people. Shohei lives in the apartments by himself because he applied to the school late and there was no rooms at the dorms for him.

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today by Hitsuzi Yamada- This manga was one of the weird finds that I came across but I am happy with it. Saku is a office lady, in front of her peers she has this air of professional office lady that has her life together. But when she goes back home to her cat she turns into a slacker who loves drinking and loafing around her apartment. Her cat is the one that help put her professional look together the cat is name Yukichi and he is a huge back cat that can stand on his back legs. He can cook, sew, clean and dance along with his idols Umyu-Sea. This cozy slice of life manga is prefect it has some heart wrenching moments but you can see how these two care for each other.

Restaurant to Another World by Junpei Inuzuka- I remember watching the anime and I loved it, I got the light novel and read that I love it (the light novel at the time had a lot more people that the first season didn’t introduce) and when I got the manga I was happy but also disappointed, the light novel is still going while the manga is done with 4 volumes. A normal restaurant 6 days out of the week that’s Western Restaurant Nekoya but on Saturday Nekoya opens its door to a special cast of clients. These clients are citizens of another world. Lion people, mermaids, witches & wizards and dragons the food and conversations are really relaxing.

Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu by Natsuya Semikawa- Yes! This manga/anime is up there with Sweetness & Lighting. I am disappointed that they stopped releasing the manga (I am still holding out hope we can get vol 11). This manga was the one that introduce me to what an Izakaya is. Much like Restaurant to Another World where a door leads to another world, however this manga there is no special day of the week that the door opens to the other world, the front door leads to a medieval world and the back door leads to the modern world. The cast of characters are too funny and the food looks so good. I really do hope they will make more of this.

The Way of the House Husband by Kousuke Oono- When I first read the premise of this manga, I thought this was both awesome and weird (the good kind of course) ex-yakuza member turn house husband. Like this is the most random thing to put together. I am wondering how much longer the manga is going on (not that I am complaining). One thing I want is a detailed account of how Tatsu met Miku. We got a glimpse of it.

She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki- I didn’t know what to think about this manga. I like it, the food and the togetherness that the characters show is my favorite thing. This manga also has some LGBTQ too, its when I got to volume 3 that’s when some heavy stuff happens and each chapter that has some sensitive topics had warnings too which I also like. I think I need to think about this one more, I don’t feel like I can write the words I want to correctly, but it’s a great manga. Nomoto is an office lady, and she is an amateur chef, but what she really wants to do is to make super big portions of food, but she can’t eat that much food. Until she meets her next-door Kasuga who is a big eater.

Superman Meshi by Satoshi Miyagawa- I wrote a review, now I am not the biggest Superman fan I am a Batman fan, when growing up I also got annoyed with him and people around him, how a set of glasses was a prefect disguise for him. But I like this manga, the food and the comedy bits that Superman has with his friends/coworkers/enemies are funny. The food looks great.

Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family by TYPE-MOON- I found this manga I think right after Sweetness & Lighting ended. Much like Sweetness & Lighting at the end of each chapter they had the recipe that they were making in the chapter. I don’t know too much about Fate Grand Order, but reading this manga I think my introduction to the series was great.

 Manly Appetites by Mito- another LGBTQ series this a short series of 3 volumes but I thought it was cute. Office worker Otsu is super jealous of his coworker Minegishi. Minegishi is tall, fit and good looking that gets all the office ladies looking at him with heart eyes, while Otsu is short and a bit large. Unbeknownst to the office workers Minegishi is in love with Otsu, he loves how Otsu looks, and he gets upset whenever Otsu brings up losing weight. While Otsu thinks that Minegishi is trying to keep him fat. This is a sweet manga, and these two dorks are too cute.

Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles by Naru Narumi- Another one where I watched the anime first, this was the good kind of weird manga. This series focuses mainly on ramen. Our main character is Koizumi, and she loves to eat ramen. The series shows the different types of ramen, how each location of Japan has its unique style of ramen. There is a cast of characters that accompany her to these restaurants, much to Koizumi’s disapproval, well there is one character I think she would like to avoid.

Ramen Wolf & Curry Tiger by Emboss- I was curious about this one with anthropomorphic animals living along with humans. Our main character is a plump wolf named Mita Jiro who loves ramen a lot and his friend a fit tiger named Yanagi Kagetora who loves curry. I can’t really describe the manga. The two of them go around to different ramen bars enjoying curry and ramen. So far there are only 2 volumes.

Giant Spider & Me by Kikori Morino- Another short series again 3 volumes I did a review on it too. The food and the story were perfect, and I am happy it ended on a happy note for both Nagi and Asa.

Laid Back Camp by Afro- This manga is so cozy, or a while I started watching videos on YouTube of people just camping and I have to say the camp food looks great. The girls have some much camping with each other or when they do solo camping. A wonderful comfort read.

Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits by Midori Yuma-I watched the anime before I got the manga, and I love them both. The story is so interesting, a bath house for yokai spirits. The food looks great in the manga too. I do wonder if Aoi will end up marrying Odanna in the end. The whole premise of the manga is that Aoi’s recently deceased grandfather was indebted to Odanna who owns the inn that he trashed. So, Grandpa Shiro promised that Aoi would be payment for the damage, so while he was alive, he taught Aoi how to defend herself from yokai in her own way, by cooking. Aoi when she heard this doesn’t want to marry Odanna, she wants to pay off the debt, but the inn is filled with yokai that either hates humans or has beef with Shiro.

If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them.

40. Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger, Vol. 1 - licensed - This seems to be a nice little slice of life about a ramen-loving wolf man going out to eat with a curry-loving tiger man drawn in the style of gay furry porn. Perfectly pleasant, with lovely character designs, but not a whole lot to talk about.

Manga I've read last year.

[matoitech]

it has like gay man furry art with jumpscare deeply annoying fandom tropes writing. with seven seas english translation. but the main characters r furries so i’m along for the ride for now

the official seven seas translation for ramen wolf and curry tiger (the only one i’ve seen) is pretty bad u can’t rly tell like what is going on or what the relationships r supposed to be. it’s also very possible the writing itself is just not good so the translation doesn’t do it any favors. i’ve been getting the mangas since they’ve been coming out and i’m hoping the writing problems r just shitty translation stuff there r tropes that r so annoying but honestly whatever i’m just here to look at the pictures

Manga I've read that were licensed in english in 2022-2023

Meant to do this roundup forever but I some pleasant surprises the last 2 years when I saw these titles I enjoyed in Japanese be licensed/re-released in English and wanted to do a very short roundup. I unfortunately can't attest to the quality of the print editions or the translations as I haven't been able to justify a double purchase just yet but still recommend these as fun and interesting reads. (Also using the JPN covers since the pub websites and store listings have kind of bad image quality lately....)

Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger by Emboss [Seven Seas, trans. Nan Rymer] (Furry and human cast, gay but not because of any overt romance)

Thermae Romae: The Complete Omnibus by Mari Yamazaki [Yen Press, trans. Stephen Paul] (Time slip comedy connecting ancient roman and Japanese bath culture, semi-recent anime adaption on Netflix, sequel manga series currently on Jump+)

One More Step, Come Stand by My Side by Toryumon Takeda [Yen Press, trans. Jason Moses] (One shot collection, impressive art, wide span of themes and settings, most of the stories were originally self published)

The Secret of Friendship by Kazune Kawahara & Aiji Yamakawa [Seven Seas, trans. Hana Allen] (High School setting, exploration of friendship and romance and how it might conflict, little gay if im being honest)

Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom by Nao Iwamoto [Seven Seas, trans. Alan Cheng & Rowena Chen] (The sweeping tale of rivaling kingdoms, adapted into an acclaimed anime movie in 2023, imo we need more Nao Iwamoto translated she's kinda brilliant)

If you need some good news,Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger are getting a Volume 3.

“Nine People you want to know better” tag game

Yippee!! I got tagged by @njikeartist for this. ty ty

Last song: That Mio Honda - Step song that I just saw and heard because it was on a tumblr post of green screened Jerma running away from her on a TF2 map. I have not heard of that song before nor known its like... history(?) but it is catchy. Though the last song that I knew about and have actively searched up for the express purpose of listening would be You Don't Know Me from Fortnite. I think it's like a pavlovian response to repeatedly seeing the hot tiger man dance with that song's respective emote. (I can't believe he's the reason for me to finally start playing Fortnite)

Favorite color: Some form of sky blue. It's nice to look up and see something so vast and endless.

Last movie/TV show: Bad Cat, a 2016 Turkish animated film about a bad cat. I had a watch party just last week with a couple of my buds. It was enjoyable, but it is not something that I would have watched it on my own.

Sweet/spicy/savory: Savory. Give me something meaty.

Relationship status: Single (1)

Current obsession: Don't know if I can call it an obsession right now, but after I had watched Godzilla Minus One (a great film btw, if it's still showing where y'all're at, go gogo go see it), I had looked up reviews of lots of different Godzilla related figures. In fact, I had even pre-ordered one in the middle of December and it just arrived yesterday :D

Last book: Sorry, I don't really read books unless I have to... There was the manga of Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger vol. 2. (Also, looking it up, apparently there is now a vol. 3 slated for release 2025 wow)

Looking forward to: Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger vol. 3 lol. There's also the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake coming out this year. Really looking forward to that.

The nine or so people I'll tag are: @majimjam @sukko-reblogs-funnies @babanasaur @megabyste @prionace @luzzytheray @nimthecryptid @frootsnak @dorihey and viewers like you 🫵 (if you can't see the emoji, it's the finger pointing at the screen one)

Do it if y'all want.

243. Ramen Wolf and Curry Tiger, Vol. 2 - licensed - The theme of this volume seemed to be the gap between how one sees themselves and how the people around them see them, which played out in two different vignettes. A real shame this seems to be on permanent hiatus, as it's a relaxing slice of life series with great character designs.
