7.3/10


Think of your textbook cheery gal owning a restaurant and your average self-insert main character, and you’d have this manga. By no means do I mean this in a negative way, since the story was actually pretty enjoyable despite how cringy or shallow some of the developments were.

The plot isn’t the best, as it has been the same rinse-and-repeat plotline in each chapter with gradual progression and minor differences, but it suffices, since the manga is mostly light-hearted and isn’t plot-based but wholesome-based — if that makes sense.

The characters also don’t possess the most depth, but they suffice for the story’s overall enjoyability, ... and the chemistry of the main cast isn’t too bad or too cringy that the read becomes unbearable.

There’s not much to comment about this manga, since it’s an above-average story revolving the usual gal x loser mc trope, and it doesn’t do much from the usual except having the setting based around a restaurant — it isn’t the most realistic, but it is damn entertaining and wholesome at times.


You guys know this is just my opinion, right?

Plot
MC used to frequent a local chinese restaurant run by an old lady. Suddenly, it shut down and then, later reopened after a few weeks. But this time, he found this super big titty hot gyaru running the restaurant.
He thinks of giving it a chance, and although she's not great at doing the recipe properly, the food is tasty enough that he keeps coming back every chapter.

Review
Have you looked at the poster for this series? Did you see the huge titties? Good. That's the best part. The author knows this and really emphasizes her... body in many panels. If you are here for ... that ecchi, then good.

For the first 7 chapters, it goes with literally the same template. The chapter starts with MC deciding to go in to eat, and ends with coming out. The rest of the chapter is just him peeking (ogling) at the Gyaru chick while she prepares the food.
Sometimes, he also helps out with some cooking, but nothing really happens except for the usual accidental ecchi moments.

There's a great new character (an aspiring manga author lady) in chapter 9 though, who was actually funny and flipped the vibe of the manga. But, we need more chapters to make a proper judgement. This single chapter bumped the rating from 2 to 4.

For now, don't bother with this manga unless you want to see some hot Gyaru art.
