Just as the title says, manga about food and cooking that are worth your time.

Titles focused on eating. Titles related to the theme of food that doesn't fit into other stacks: ramen, sushi, drinking, diet, cooks/chefs and food-related titles in fantasy settings.

(see other stacks)

Mangas with a naturalistic approach to backgrounds.
Not only are they drawn in excruciating details, or extremely well documented, but by simply looking at the panels you can conjure in your mind how the air smells or how the ground feels as if you remembered your own hometown.

Manga, particularly SOL, that are especially light on the surface but between every little gesture of the characters and the art, a certain weight is felt in the heart. Simple, good, unpretentious story-telling at its best. It is fine proof that one does not need "darkness" to make a story intensely interesting and deep.

Jiro Taniguchi was a Japanese mangaka. He was born in Tottori. His stories deal with universal themes as the beauty of nature, devotion to family, and/or return to childhood.

Jiro Taniguchi gained several prizes for his work. In France he was knighted a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011.

Died: February 11, 2017

A list of Taniguchi's manga published in Brazil, in order of release date.



Lista dos mangás do Taniguchi publicados no Brasil, em ordem de lançamento.

Here is a list of mangas that should appeal to old farts like me, who are too old to find fun in shonen characters getting stronger, cliché fantasy or in vanilla school romance tropes.
The main drive is that the manga should have some personality, with decent and properly written characters, laid-back humor, an interesting context and / or a subtle story. Good art and page layout are also appreciated. No violence porn or excessive fan service either, I like authors to focus on something else than these simple devices, although I'm not against them at very small doses when they serve the story. The manga may have been adapted in anime or not, I only address the mangas here.
There are probably some spoilers in my comments so skip them if you're worried about that.
