Review of 'What Did You Eat Yesterday' on 'Storygraph'

I can’t believe I’ve slept on this for so long. I love slice of life series that partially revolve around food—and this one is also about a gay couple in modern Japan? Who aren’t fetishized? That tackles day to day problems ranging from homophobia coming from misunderstanding parents to making a friend at the grocery store to split a watermelon? This rules, and I love it.

Review of 'What Did You Eat Yesterday' on Goodreads

I am pretty happy with the manga as I intend to go back into cooking some more - especially japanese-ish food, which I kind of didn't find the time and spoons to do for a long time. Although the recipes (as most japanese recipes) are not vegan, at least not the whole menus, some side dishes are or are easy to veganize.
Unfortunately there is one big drawback (besides the well, rather shallow plot line so far):

SIZEISM, fat-shaming, hatred against big people.
Ugh.
I can hardly stomache it and I am not sure, wether I'm going to buy the following volumes, as this is just to much.
The main characters are gay men (yup, finally gay men, not "I'm straight but happened to find my soulmate in a man"-guys one is used to from the Boys' Love/yaoi manga from the 90s...) and seem to perpetuate all the negative stereotypes …
