M&C! Licenses Happy Cooking Graffiti Manga
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C! announced on Monday that it has licensed Makoto Kawai's Happy Cooking Graffiti (Kōfuku Graffiti) manga. The publisher will release the first volume on Wednesday.
The story follows Ryō, a middle school girl who lives by herself. She has a knack for cooking, and she makes friendships with everyone through her food. The cooking manga is "full of detailed cuisine art to whet the appetite and slightly erotic meal scenes." The "kōfuku" in the title is a wordplay on two Japanese homonyms — one which means "happiness," and another that means "appetite."
Kawai launched the manga in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine in 2012, and Houbunsha published the sixth compiled book volume last December. The manga received a 12-episode television anime adaptation titled Gourmet Girl Graffiti, which premiered in January 2015. The anime starred Rina Satō, Asuka Ōgame, Mikako Komatsu, with Akiyuki Simbo (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Monogatari Series) helming the adaptation, and Mari Okada (Toradora!, A Lull in the Sea, The Anthem of the Heart) in charge of the series' scripts.
