From what I can recall, the story was pretty basic and got a little bit rushed near the end, but I really don't read manga for story and development. If I wanted to read for story and enjoyment, I would be reading Rothfuss. The art was kinda rough at first, but I really like the style now. What I really loved out of everything was the wacky food and slice of life some chapters had. There was this laid back feel that I really enjoyed throughout most of the story. Most foods got its own description box that had its calories per serving, price in yen, etc. Idunno why but I really loved those.
