Have you seen the cover for volume 2? I can't tell if it's simply to get our attention or if the story line will get "spicier" as it progresses.... I love cooking manga and it looks like this one's got a solid start. Thanks for the review!

Baka Updates has "Romance" in the tags so....besides, men can get married at 16 in Japan and he looks last year of HC, he can very well be 17-18 and only weird people would find a problem with 2 adults falling in love.

Meh. Different strokes, for different folks I guess?
To me, a high school boy, especially one who is on his own for the first time and can barely take care of himself, is still a kid. But it's fiction, so if that's your thing, you do you.

I just got this in the mail today, and I quite like it. It's similar to Sweetness and Lightning as a slice of life about food, and how it brings people together and fills some void they have. But I would rate it a notch below that one. And also Rui is not a well written character. I kinda like the art even if it sometimes has weird body proportions.

He's literally stated to be a first year student (i.e. 10th grade, so 15-16 years old?) on page 8, and the review mention this as well.

I don't read this, I am from LATAM and crappy soap operas with crappy drama about older women dating younger men are a docent a dime here, I have been conditioned on rolling my eyes to this trope.

Actually, I made my age assumption with the Vol. 11 cover which obviously has older characters that is also on Baka Updates, not with the text on the article, sorry for not specifying that.

The age of adulthood in jpn is 20 btw (when the coming of age ceremony is).... and also a quick google search says that the min marriage age for dudes is 18 but you need parental permission b4 20.

At first this felt like a "modern" take of "Maison Ikkoku", but in the end it wasn't even comparable...
