She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat, Vol. 3

ugh i just love this series so much. i put this volume on hold at the library as soon as it was released and just got it this week. we've been pretty focused just on nomoto-san and kasuga-san up until this point, but this volume introduced two new characters in a deft, nuanced way rather than adding clutter (which can sometimes happen in these kinds of stories), each with their own relationships (good or bad) with food. and feelings are happening!!! not even subtextually!!!!

japanese volume 4 is already out as of this past june, but since english volume 3 came out in october, there's a long wait ahead for the next installment
