Being a cook myself, I do have a fondness of the sub-genre that is cooking. With the rise in popularity of the series Shokugeki no Souma, there also rose a small trend in the culinary culture. Bambino; however, still stands as an unique one-of-a-kind series despite this.
Focusing on the young protagonist Ban, an inspiring chef. The story begins as he lands a job in the kitchen of the popular Italian restaurant, Trattoria Baccanale. While having just finished culinary school, he quickly realized the workplace is like nothing he could ever be prepared for.
Starting from the bottom, the story progresses as he moves up the ladder,

Tuxedo Gin
(Manga)
add
Tuxedo Gin is a slice of life, comedy, romance series. It fallows the traditional Japanese slice of life/comedy set up found in many classical manga titles such as Doraemon, Ranma 1/2, Sgt. Frog... Unlike these more popular series; however, Tuxedo Gin is one that never got much spotlight and it sadly remains out of most people's radar. With that said I am still a bit surprise to have the privilege of being the first to review this simple, enjoyable series for MAL.
Simple is probably the best word to describe this series. It starts off with one simple unique concept, then developes and extends as far ...

Love Letter
(Manga)
add
As a Kouji Seo fan you will read many forms of romance. From something down to earth realistic to something supernatural and ecchi. With this story love letter he is saying I can write a tear-jerker too.
The story is very nicely told. The way it used letters to tell parts of the story is very nice. It sets the mood, gives it intensity as well as emotion and it's placed so well in the story it never felt out of place or forced. One thing about this is the plot doesn't feel very original. I can see this story line easily being used in a ...

Sakura Taisen
(Manga)
add
I've read a few volumes of this series. I find that with all the Sakura Wars series it relies heavily on the characters. Most of the story is about how the characters develop. The setting is very unique. It takes place in the 1910s or 20s with a lot of steam powered machines including the mechs which is totally different style from gundams. Overall the story is interesting, well written and unique.
The drawing I would say basic not detailed to the point and doesn't lack in detail. Very clean and light drawings. The characters is the strong point in this series and also with all ...

Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi
(Anime)

this anime proves that good characters is the start of a good story. the plot it self is very simple martial arts. The main character gets stronger and stronger and stronger as his enemies get stronger and stronger and stronger. its the basic shonen plot. the art is nothing special bright solid colors nothing really eye catchy (but it does not really bother me) the sound is decent. the strength in this anime is the characters. all of them are really fun both the good and bad ones. putting these characters in a simple plot and play with them is wat gives birth to this

The art work is very unique its not like a beautiful painting like in series such as ai yori aoshi but are very detailed sketches. Many of the setting are in slums and allyways that is
