What Did You Eat Yesterday? 19

From the James Tripee Award Winning author, Fumi Yoshinaga, comes a casual romance between two 40-year-old men and the many meals they share together.

“Yoshinaga creates another series of warmly emotional stories. Her charactersface awkward and potentially embarrassing situations as they come into their own. The art style is delicate, slightly effeminate and works well with the heartfelt nature of the stories.” – Publishers Weekly

Shiro is the managing partner at a law firm, and he de-stresses every day after work by cooking with his live-in boyfriend Kenji. They’ve been together for almost two decades now, and while they’re no longer as lovey-dovey as they used to be (they’re in their late fifties, after all), their relationship is nothing but peaceful. But what happens when the two of them suddenly bump into Kenji’s ex, who just so happens to be a buff and handsome-looking guy?
