I'm all about foodie manga series。 However， the "relationship" in this one。。。 is rather iffy to me。 I'll still continue it to see where things go， but I'm unsure if it will be a series to remain on my bookshelf。 I'm all about foodie manga series。 However， the "relationship" in this one。。。 is rather iffy to me。 I'll still continue it to see where things go， but I'm unsure if it will be a series to remain on my bookshelf。 。。。more

If you're the kind of person who loves manga or anime where they literally just eat amazing looking food， this one's for you。 Cute， wholesome， and made me hungry。 If you're the kind of person who loves manga or anime where they literally just eat amazing looking food， this one's for you。 Cute， wholesome， and made me hungry。 。。。more

I really appreciate that this isn't a romance （unless it's with food） and just about two lonely people feeling less lonely by eating together。 I really appreciate that this isn't a romance （unless it's with food） and just about two lonely people feeling less lonely by eating together。 。。。more

I ADORE the art style of this manga。 I think the premise is so quaint and I love looking at food in manga and anime。 This was so lovely to read and I adore Shuko as a main character and how her happiness stems from giving to others。 I admittedly do really like the romance that seems to be blossoming。 I am aware it's wildly inappropriate because Yamato is underaged。 But I nonetheless am drawn to their chemistry and their dynamic。 I ADORE the art style of this manga。 I think the premise is so quaint and I love looking at food in manga and anime。 This was so lovely to read and I adore Shuko as a main character and how her happiness stems from giving to others。 I admittedly do really like the romance that seems to be blossoming。 I am aware it's wildly inappropriate because Yamato is underaged。 But I nonetheless am drawn to their chemistry and their dynamic。 。。。more

I really liked it， it is so soft and cute， I also really love art that is beautiful。 The age difference worries me a bit but it doesn't seem like they are going to take the romance road and FL is not in a position of power so that's fine for now。 The characters are adorable and I really want to know more about FL， it seems that I really love her husband very much and I want to see more about her marriage and how she became a widow。 The ML is fine， they didn't show us that much of the afterlife t I really liked it， it is so soft and cute， I also really love art that is beautiful。 The age difference worries me a bit but it doesn't seem like they are going to take the romance road and FL is not in a position of power so that's fine for now。 The characters are adorable and I really want to know more about FL， it seems that I really love her husband very much and I want to see more about her marriage and how she became a widow。 The ML is fine， they didn't show us that much of the afterlife that he doesn't really love baseball so I'm hoping to see more but it's promising， I can really see myself becoming very fond of him。 Also the issue of his mother and that he always ate alone made me a little sad。 。。。more

A cute story。 Unusually for a food manga， it's more about the relationships than the recipes。 A cute story。 Unusually for a food manga， it's more about the relationships than the recipes。 。。。more

Beauty and the Feast surrounds two characters: Shuko， whose husband has passed away， and Shohei， a teenage baseball player。 I was worried picking this up it might become an inappropriate romance， but so far I don’t think it will。 There are certain moments where they both blush， and he picks some flowers out of her hair， but I’m hoping that is basically as far as anything like that goes。 On their own， they are each interesting characters， and I like learning about them。 There is also a third char Beauty and the Feast surrounds two characters: Shuko， whose husband has passed away， and Shohei， a teenage baseball player。 I was worried picking this up it might become an inappropriate romance， but so far I don’t think it will。 There are certain moments where they both blush， and he picks some flowers out of her hair， but I’m hoping that is basically as far as anything like that goes。 On their own， they are each interesting characters， and I like learning about them。 There is also a third character， Rui， who has a crush on Shohei and is a childhood friend。 I actually really liked her， she made me laugh and has totally wild daydreams and conclusions。 Overall， this was a fun read about a woman with a love for cooking who likes to share what she makes to make others happy。 The art style was also unique， very sweet and very cute。 Fingers crossed it goes up from here！ 🤞🏻 。。。more

'Beauty and the Feast' is a manga I picked up because lately I've been enjoying things with a theme of cooking bringing people together -- in this case， a young widow and a high school athlete。 It's cute and got good expressive art; I'm not thrilled about the way they keep slipping into drawing this as though it's going to be romantic between these two given that he's a first-year high school student and she's nearly a decade older， but when they're interacting most of the time it's more like sh 'Beauty and the Feast' is a manga I picked up because lately I've been enjoying things with a theme of cooking bringing people together -- in this case， a young widow and a high school athlete。 It's cute and got good expressive art; I'm not thrilled about the way they keep slipping into drawing this as though it's going to be romantic between these two given that he's a first-year high school student and she's nearly a decade older， but when they're interacting most of the time it's more like she's adopted a young neighbor whose enthusiasm for her cooking delights her。 It's pretty self indulgent; I'd love to be either side of this equation， either the person whose only responsibility is to cook something delicious for another to enjoy， or the person who gets handed new delicious food each day while they try their best; but I think this is pretty universally enjoyable because who _doesn't_ like good food？ I'm going to check out the next volume as they've started introducing more characters; I'd like to see if she's going to start cooking for a whole group。 :） 。。。more

Yamato is a high school baseball player living on his own， but the plates he really enjoys stepping up to are those of Yakumo， his next door neighbour。 She's a 28-year-old widow and it turns out that feeding Yamato is helping to put joy back in her life。 Of course， if she's not careful it might bring a little more than that with it。Nnnnnrgh。 Okay， there are two stories going on at once here and I don't dislike either one of them， but one's definitely a lot easier to go with。 Yes， there are some Yamato is a high school baseball player living on his own， but the plates he really enjoys stepping up to are those of Yakumo， his next door neighbour。 She's a 28-year-old widow and it turns out that feeding Yamato is helping to put joy back in her life。 Of course， if she's not careful it might bring a little more than that with it。Nnnnnrgh。 Okay， there are two stories going on at once here and I don't dislike either one of them， but one's definitely a lot easier to go with。 Yes， there are some gentle hints of an age-inapproriate romance going on here。 I don't find this half as unpalatable as， say， Daytime Shooting Star since Yakumo is not technically in a position of power， she should just know better。 Also， yes， sorry， having a woman in the older role makes it easier to take for me。The other story is one of a poor widow whose grief crushed her joy of both life and cooking， and the baseball prodigy who helps her out of her loneliness and back into the world。 This one's quite delightful and revels in the delight of sharing food with somebody and the special charms of a good meal。 It's very reminiscent of Sweetness & Lightning， but our characters are slightly less hapless。And these two are very good characters。 Yamato might seem like a typical athlete， but it becomes quite clear that he's not particularly fussed if he does anything with his talent for baseball。 He's got the skills， but his passion still hasn't found what it wants to latch on to。 Yakumo is， well， she's lonely and many of her actions are spurred by her wanting to maintain her connection to Yamato， who is the big bright spot in her world right now （I am really hoping we see more of rice cooker-kun）。I could certainly do without Yamato's childhood best friend， who has some okay moments but is particularly shrill and doesn't seem to see much benefit to Yamato beyond letting her be a trophy wife。 She certainly gets the right/wrong idea about things and the way Yakumo derails her with pie is pretty funny， but a little of her goes a LOOOOOONG way。Otherwise it's very sweet and while it's not overtly romantic yet， it definitely has some moments。 I think Yakumo's biggest overture is the picnic， which reads as either a calculated move or a bit of desperation for company （I do think it comes across more as the latter）。 Still， the art sells these little moments very well - on two occasions characters have detritus removed from their hair and it's a quiet， intimate moment both times。3。5 stars - I really liked this。 I'm not rounding up for the simple fact that I'm not sure where this is going and I'm not sure where I want it to go。 I'm not going to just poo-poo this out of the gate， but I am wary of it。 Still， the chemistry and charm here is more than enough to win me over for a second volume。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I’m not sure about this， it was okay， it could be heart warming。 It was heart warming that two strangers who are neighbors come together to fill a need in each other’s lives， that that’s what a community should do for one another。 But it was a bit concerning that the woman touched（nonsexually） his（14-15 year old boy） hair and hands while he was asleep， then figured out where he went to practice， watched him practice without his knowing， and waited for him after practice when he didn’t know that I’m not sure about this， it was okay， it could be heart warming。 It was heart warming that two strangers who are neighbors come together to fill a need in each other’s lives， that that’s what a community should do for one another。 But it was a bit concerning that the woman touched（nonsexually） his（14-15 year old boy） hair and hands while he was asleep， then figured out where he went to practice， watched him practice without his knowing， and waited for him after practice when he didn’t know that she knew where he practiced。 It’s listed as romance but I really hope the romance isn’t between the woman and the boy， but with other （appropriately aged） characters。 。。。more
