I really wanted to love this, but, honestly, I got bored real quick. I really thought I would knock out both of these 2 volumes before April ended. It's sometimes funny and cute, I don't hate any of the characters, but I feel like I've been glazing over everything, and I don't like doing that.

I'm sad, but also not really. I had a small feeling I wouldn't really enjoy it as much as the other stuff I've been reading. The web comic-like structure of the manga is off to me, even though it's pretty similar to other manga I've liked before. But I also think half of that boredom feeling was because it's a book that talks about food... too soon after I just read Aki and Haru. Another food-centered manga that gave me “food talk fatigue” (lol). This one doesn't beat me over the head with all the recipes and the food isn't the main character this time around, thank God! But maybe I shouldn't've gone into another food manga so soon, even though a part of me feels like I would've still found it boring in some way. I don't know if I want to read volume 2 or not.

Other than the way situations were situating like the kiss and the part at the club, this was really cute and I had fun with it. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at parts I knew the author wanted me to be kicking my legs because of how fanfiction-y some of those situations were, but I was smiling throughout all of this.

There were times it felt a little bit boring and found myself putting it down for a couple of days, but I think that's because I thought we were going to go on some of these investigations. Instead, it's a very “put these two in situations" type of story and I had to rewire my brain for that.

I liked all of the characters and their family dynamic’s cute. Lisa going “You guys looked like a family” almost made me cry and is the reason I need this physically on my shelf. Jiu and Yano keeping their distance from each other because of their work and not knowing each other's feelings could've been so annoying to read but it wasn't and I appreciate that so much.

Everyone's super cute and I love them.

I'll come back with a little bit of something to say, but just so you know.......

crying and laughing and screaming and giggling and kicking my feet and crying and crying and crying
