review 1: Great fun, as always! One drawback to reading these "selected highlights" translations of Oishinbo: since each volume features stories selected dealing with a specific food, the formulaic aspects of the writing really stand out more prominently than, perhaps, they do in the original manga. This is still a delight to read though. The translation notes at the back of the book are, as ever, extremely helpful in explaining things that happened in chapters not appearing in this translation that the reader needs to know. While I certainly hope we eventually see a complete translation of this series, I'm pleased with this version. Manga this good are what keep me reading manga.
review 2: Fun, interesting, informative! What more could you want in a Manga! Ok I don... more't normally read manga but you dangle a delicious dish and I'm intrigued. I'm glad. No wonder more people in Japan read manga than news papers! There's al kinds. I'm already turned off of the news so this is a healthy substitute. Now I know a delicious way to cook scallops, how to find out if I'm really growing and eating organic or looking like I'm. How to tell if my brown rice is organic or has pesticides. I alredy knew trees are important, but now I appreciate farmers who know as well. Why can't we change the way we raise our live stock? We can't grow other foods right if we don't. Well all that from a manga. I'm already looking forward to the next one:D less
