This is one of those manga in which each chapter is a situation and the stories don't usually go from one to the next (apart from the fact that the characters obviously change / mature and still think about these situations). Each chapter has a food involved, which is usually made in an irori at Alice's house, I thought that was cool, sometimes there are also tips on working in the countryside, chopping wood, collecting bamboo shoots, etc.

Don't get it twisted, Harumi is the main character - not Alice. How we, as readers, see Alice is through Harumi's eyes.

Which I'd say is my biggest turn off of the manga. I was already confused why a supposed "Josei" and "story about Alice" was opening the first page with a direct ...
