Let's Eat Together, Aki and Haru, Volume 1

3.25

Cute but simple. Very simple characters with simple dialogue. I could tell very quickly that the two main characters are not the main characters. The main character is the food. The “gimmick" is learning about how to make these dishes while Aki and Haru are just here. In fact, Yukino clocked their personality completely in chapter 2 and they've been that one-note since. I get that this is a manga about food but I want Aki and Haru to be more than just cardboard.

I hope volumes 2 and 3 actually expands more on their characters and let the food take a back seat a little bit because I'm at the point where I'm literally skimming all the recipe talk just to get more of Aki, Haru, and their friends.
