Yakumo-san wa Ezuke ga Shitai.

A food manga about a young widow who starts cooking meals for her high school boy neighbor with a huge appetite. The series constantly teases the audience along with the two always being on the verge of starting a romantic relationship.

Personally, I really dislike the romantic angle between them. Ms. Yakumo convinces herself that she’s just being motherly to young Yamato but her buxom figure screams fan service. My guess is that they will eventually cross that line of intimacy and will probably end up together in the future. I think I would’ve preferred a nuanced story about a simple widow who copes with the loss of her husband by feeding this young boy and them becoming friends. The series is still ongoing so maybe I’ll be happily wrong about this.
