Just a note on these Oishinbo manga’s I’ve been reading. Normally I would hesitate listing manga’s as being anything substantial..but these are of a different sort. They are hard to read at times, and very educational. And instead of taking me about an hour to get through – they can take upwards of 6-7 hours of reading.. which is very unusual for me. They are not light-hearted and sometimes not fun, but always interesting and if you are a manga fan or no.. I’d encourage you to check them out!
