Genuinely the best recently published manga I've read. It's so silly yet heartfelt, and strangely helps my mentality toward eating and food. Such a wide cast of characters, yet each are endearing and compelling. The main theme is so well developed and culminates perfectly in a meditation on the meanings of life and death--the conduit being desire, which was explored in a way that felt affirming to the pursuit of pleasure. Overindulgence is made out more to lead to social alienation rather than sin, something greatly appreciated. I'm glad I finally finished this manga after initially following it as it was ongoing, then forgetting about it. It's a series I'd be invested in having physical copies of, frankly.
