Learn while you read submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 11, 2014, 8:29pm These collected stories are defined by their topic (this book is about rice, for example), but the original manga was told in a different order. The problem with this is that while the food is a unified topic, the relationships in the story (which is a significant part of the story) are a mess. In one chapter Yamaoka and Kurita are barely flirting, and in the next they are planning a wedding. It drives me nuts, and is very hard to follow.

And who writes a book about rice and doesn't explain how it's grown! I was really looking forward to learning more about that, and am astonished that it wasn't covered.

Oh well. The rest was interesting, though.
