She Loves To Cook, and She Loves To Eat is a true master piece. A piece of art like no other manga or comic I've read. Volume 2 continues to capture the raw horror of being a lesbian in a heteronormative society. It so boldly captures the media, the social, the societal and even the online aspects of being a lesbian who is figuring out her shit. Not to mention it also talks about so much more like sexism and other issues all while remaining a fairly cute and light hearted series. It's further proof that getting into the weeds and moments that are rough don't take away from an overall wholesome and sweet package but instead add to it, reality adding to the sweetness.

The romance is still in it's early stages in this volume but it becomes clear both women have feelings for each other. Both realizing that what they want is romantic but neither having verbalized it. They have so much chemistry, they are fairly different people but also very similar too and it's a really nice way to see how they add to each others life. It's also nice to see adult women in love and the adult life's effects on their time together and everything.

IT's so heartening to see Nomoto put her foot down with her mother about coming to visit and it's so sweet to see her spend time with Kasuga. It's also really nice to learn more about Kasuga's life, her history. While the series slightly leans into Nomoto's perspective we get both and I think it strikes a good balance since Kasuga is more subdued.

12/10 one of the best comics that exist.
