Satomi actually has a secret he can't tell anyone…! Could basashi really be the thing that brings these two together?!

Basashi ga Tabetai is a very good short series. It manages to tell it's story perfectly within the limited chapter count. The characters are very fun and the dynamic between the two main characters is extremely wholesome. The side characters are very minimalistic as they all appear basically ones and then never again, which is a shame but expected with again the limited amount of page count. The art is good and the story is fun. There really isn't anything to complain about except that there isn't more.

Overall very good and extremely enjoyable. Definetly worth a read, especially with how short it is.

I cannot recommend this story enough. The characters were relatable and funny. The premise was a bit goofy but the goofiness really lent well to the story. The conclusion was on point and tonally sound too. The story is only six chapters but each chapter has excellent pacing and doesn't wander away from the point. The only reason this wasn't a 10/10 for me is because when I give something a 10/10 I've made a personal connection to it, and I just didn't with this story. That said, I wouldn't consider it a detractor because I still enjoyed it immensely. Maybe we'll get lucky and ...

I really liked this manga. Short but sweet (like basashi, which is apparently sweeter than most meats). The story itself is very low-stakes, making for a relaxing read. Kaede and and Satomi are both adorable! The ending was a little abrupt, but both main characters finished their arcs, so it makes sense. I do wish we could have seen Kaede and Satomi's relationship evolve beyond Kaede helping Satomi regain his appetite, but considering the kind of manga this is, it wasn't necessary. I also really like this mangaka's art. The paintings were very impressive. I look forward to reading more of their work.
