Yaiteiru Futari

Yaiteiru Futari

A food manga about a newlywed couple who live in different cities due to their jobs. They enjoy their limited time together by grilling up different recipes outdoors.

A food manga that focuses on grilling that’s good! I will say the initial premise seems a bit forced. The couple meet over a dating app but when the guy gets transferred to a far city the lady immediately proposes they get married? I get that creator Shiori Hanatsuka wants to do that slow burn of adults getting to know each other but it all seemed very sudden. But regardless of the setup, the series has a really relaxed tone that makes for some lighthearted reading. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kodansha decides to release this in English someday.

You can read it online in Japanese on Comic Days.
