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 ... it'll get turned into a movie or something. That would be fun and welcomed.

If you're looking for something cute and a quick read, then you'll probably enjoy this manga. If you like things that dig a bit deeper then you might not enjoy it.

It's got a slow start, but the story won me over on chapter 4, where the author actually creates an actual issue between two Human Beings and resolves it in a natural, satisfying way. She and her sister don't get along. Her sister is harsh to everyone, and FMC herself doesn't like sharing her art. Problem is she took up art to get closer to her sister. The most FMC would manage to do it sneak a drawing into her sister's hands, then run away before hearing anything. She asked her sister why she likes drawing so much, and when she said she likes seeing ... people react to said art, it all finally clicked. She already experienced that herself, which was the push she needed to finally show her sister her work and bond.

BAM. See? Nobody was just a dick out of nowhere, and we didn't solve years of abuse, neglect, and alienation with some retarded little speech about family, or forgiveness. There was a small clash in personalities, and the the story naturally bridged the gap without trying to force the audience to "Forgive" anyone for anything. They just finally saw eye to eye, and they got along better.
