Oishinbo

  I have not read many manga talk about food but I think Oishinbo is defiantly a good example for introducing different kinds of food and culture in them. Oishinbo is quit a calming and enjoying manga to read. I'm so glad it actually seriously talks about food and how they were made. 

  It is not like Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma  that the only way to show how good the food taste is how much the clothes of the diner exploded. It is not like in Chuka Ichiban!  that people would make legendary food that doesn't exist in real life to impress others. It is not like that two manga are not good but some time it is just really enjoyable to  see a manga really talk about the food you can find and eat in real life.

  Even Oishinbo does not have a super cute or pretty art style, it still catches my eye in only a few pages. The stories of the characters fits well in every little story in each chapter. And the rhythm of of each chapter give you a good flow of wanting to know what is gonna happen soon and giving you the result of it.

  Another interesting thing about Oishinbo is that the artist actually talks about his own political perspective on things. Like whale hunting being baned in Japan and Fukushima nuclear pollution.  It is interesting to see what the artist thinks about but sometime it just kind of forcing you to accept his point as reading.

  But I like how he gives a high respect of traditional Japanese Culture and opens to food culture from other countries from the whole world.
