Meshinuma. · review
Meshinuma is simple! If you want a quick, easy, feel-good read, I think this would entertain just about anyone. Who doesn't want to see a man enjoy some good food? Each chapter is a couple pages at most, and yet I end up enjoying this manga a lot more than I thought I would. I figured it would be too simple of a premise, but Meshinuma ends up adding other little details that make the broad concept of eating food a bit more enjoyable. The detailing of the dishes, and Iinuma's faces and reactions all pull together nicely, too. I particularly enjoy how over-expressive he isin contrast to his dull personality. For all he eats, I wonder how he stays in such good shape! I think the variety of dishes he eats is good, too. I end up looking up the foods and preparations afterwards because this manga makes me unreasonably hungry. Overall, I could see how it'd be bland.. but there's a charm to it that is very enjoyable.
