quite nice

No rating

Straightforward and predictable, but surprisingly touching. Deals quite directly with grief, too, but in a way that doesn't turn it into a sad story overall. Pleasant absence of the worst of shonen-ai manga tropes, and not too overwhelmed with cooking details either. All wrapped up in a single short volume for a nice change of pace.

Review of 'Our Dining Table' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Pleasant, steady, soft and heart-warming.

There must be someone somewhere out there with whom the food is tasty. And children always bring out the best in us.

From the love for food, and eating together, the story progresses into dealing with more delicate feelings and tastes. From a past that leaves us scared, to a brighter future where we can relieve ourselves. From the fear of losing someone and the pain that comes with it, to the love of bearing that pain and enjoying the few moments we have together.
