Accomplished home chef though he might be, Shiro proceeds on the assumption that no two of his curries will ever taste the same.“Even if you never plan on cooking anything based on a list of ingredients and directions given in a comic, the fact that they’re even there in the first place mirrors Shiro’s attitude. He’d rather you take a moment out of following the ups and downs of his intimate relationship with Kenji… The care put into the art and characterizations is as apparent as the care Shiro puts into every single one of his meals.” —Otaku USA
