Worth?: For me? No.

First want to thank Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this in exchange for my honest review. I wanted to love this manga, I really did. The art was okay but the story is what really didn't sit well with me. It started out dull and kept that tone for most of the manga until the older lady came into play and that bit was kind of funny but I don't know if everyone thought it would be funny to freaking call straight people breeders, but it is tacky and disgusting. As someone apart of the LGTBQ+ this is toxicity at best. Especially when the main guy literally treats his boyfriend as... just another ordinary thing.

Also WHAT ROMANCE? Just because you put two damn gay men together doesn't mean there is romance out of the bumhole. This damn man has more of a romance with food than his actual boyfriend. This whole manga was a headache.

I didn't like this one. The food prep was actually cool. I was able to enjoy the friendship rooted in frugalness, too. The first ML was rude and unlikable. I won't continue.
