Oishinbo: Vegetables, Vol. 5: A la Carte by Tetsu Kariya

In the early 80s Japanese artists were already bringing attention to organic farming and the harm to health and the environment that pesticides and non organic fertilizers produced. It’s still 2024 and Round Up is widely available in the USA. We’ll be forever doomed.
This manga series is a joy to read for those that enjoy learning about Japanese cuisine and ingredients. The drama part and humor, it adds a bit of “condiments” to the story.
