Overview

A hard-working middle-aged gay couple in Tokyo come to enjoy the finer moments of life through food. After long days at work, either in the law firm or the hair salon, Shiro and Kenji will always have down time together by the dinner table, where they can discuss their troubles, hash out their feelings and enjoy delicately prepared home cooked meals! In this volume of discovery and acceptance, we learn that happiness depends on small constant pleasures (meals first and foremost)-and that the reason Kenjifell for Shiro has to do with an '80s manga. As thecouple's relationship deepens, author Yoshinaga takes the slice-of-life genre to unique heights.
