Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

A manga about a man who is accidentally summoned into a fantasy realm. He decides to use his special skills of a dimensional shopping to access food items from his home world to make a living cooking. Unfortunately that cooking attracts the legendary beast Fenrir who demands they form a pact that will involving getting 3 meals a day from the man.

This might be an isekai story but it focuses on food so I checked it out and I’m really glad that I did! I really like the mix of modern food in fantasy worlds. It’s also down well in Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World.

There’s a lot of typical isekai troupes here, such as the man’s net supermarket ability allowing him to purchase salt and pepper cheaply and then selling that at a high price in this fantasy world. Also, like a lot of isekai stories the main character has to be very cautious about revealing his powers in fear of them being taken advantage. However they subvert many of those overpowered skills by sharing that advantage with his Fenrir partner. Instead of having a single overpowered protagonist, the fighting is handled by the beast and the human focuses on making delicious meals. That dynamic between these two were really enjoyable and I like their relationship a lot.

I look forward to keep checking this series out.
