To start off, unlike the previous review, this is a completely biased opinion of mine that will reflect how I feel on this series. This review will contain spoiler to a certain amount. I can't say how much, but it will.
Kumika no Mikaku, or Kumika's Taste is very much a food Manga while being not about food. As you can see, it involves food, eating and food appreciation through out from the start to the end, true to its name.
However, the food aspect really was just a base to tell another story, the story of a fool traveling through the Arcana and learn new

Excellent romantic slice of life with a unique twist. As you can probably already tell, there's a heap of aliens in this manga and they're all great. Objectively the pink lady alien is best girl. The focus on food being the driving force behind the love interests' relationship is an excellent one as it allows for an interesting form of character introspection, development and fluff. Character designs for the aliens range from "fair" to "very unique and interesting" and the flow of extra characters isn't so slow that it stagnates the plot or too fast that it derails the plot entirely and I can safely

My Synopsis: Set in a futuristic Japan (you won’t really see too much stuff outside earth) where Earth’s borders are open for space travel . Aliens are common place and come to Earth to visit/work (you’ll get some world building as you read through.) Our main character is Kumika a chick who doesn’t need to eat because her species can absorb the nutrients needed through the air. (again enough exposition is done to know how this is done)
It’s a good manga with some really cute moments. It makes you feel nice and fluffy when you read it. Story 7: Again fluffy manga so the story isn't ...

This is purely a placeholder review (and a meaningless score) until someone finds the time to write a more comprehensive review in the future, as I hate leaving interesting manga with such an unattractive overview on this site; this will not contain any spoilers, even minor ones. Given its on-going state, this will just be a quick heads-up and not a constructive critique.
First of all, Kumika no Mikaku is not a food manga, far from it, as it doesn't display any mouth-watering or overly original dishes, but only uses it as a starting point for the story and helps build a backdrop for the titular ...

Slice of Life/ ( ˘▽˘)っ♨ (Eat) / Romance & Friendship within a workplace
Whenever I see a manga that demonstrates “love and happiness out of simple thing(s) that we take it/them for granted”, I give it a really high score. If you want to get that kind of “grateful vibe”, read this manga! σ(≧ε≦ｏ) !!Minor Spoiler!! Story: 10 (using the concept of “eating” as the “starting point” of discovering “life” & “love” is so amazing! The main thing of this manga is not about food!! Rather, "food" is used as a "tool" to show us something more special and beautiful about life itself!) Art: 10 (we can ...

Have you ever read a genderbend hentai? In them, every act that are considered normal in other H are given a whole new perspective and treated as somewhat foreign and alien, thus giving these simple actions a ton of focus. After all, a dude may know how to make a girl feel good, but they can never understand how a female body really feel, much less the pleasure of being in one.
The manga is pretty much like that. Our protagonist, Kumika, is an alien that doesn't need to eat. Because of that, the simple acts chewing, swallowing, or even any recreational activities like hanging out together ...

This gives me a warm nostalgic feeling whenever I go to reread it. Warm and fuzzy. Wholesome to the extreme.
How can I really describe what makes this manga so great without getting into too lengthy of a review? I'll try my best, but this'll be hard. Well, first off, for those who like the "monster girl" genre but get sick of all the "uwu, you were kind to me once so can I like, sucky your dickywicky?", this does NOT have that. In fact, there is little fan service and zero harem (not to say there isn't some romance or fan service, but it's done very ... |
