Yamada Meshi

Yamada Meshi

A manga about a teenager girl who visits and chronicles her meals at different eateries that are named “Yamada”.

Pretty good food manga. This book is very similar to Shizuka Itou‘s other food manga Misoji Meshi as it features real life eateries you can visit in Tokyo. I still really love Itou’s sketch-like ink work but I though the story of a girl trying to connect with her separated father was a little underwhelming. I think it’s a good thing that this is a single volume short series.

Misoji Meshi

Misoji Meshi

A food manga about a 30 year-old woman who enjoys meals at real-life restaurants and eateries.

I love me some good food manga and it’s always impressive when have ones like this that incorporate real places you can go visit. There are some really creative reaction scenes as the food sprout faces and talk to the woman in her imagination. I also really loved Shizuka Itou‘s art work. Almost all of her shading is done by hand and that gives it an almost pencil sketch like look.
