My Thoughts:
What do I love about manga? I love the kawaii factor, but I also love the humor in good manga. I like that bitter or angry characters are softened within the manga genre. This manga series takes place in a fictional European town that seems like somewhere in Victorian times by their dress. But in the a forgotten alley is a Japanese pub, or izakaya. Once patrons find this little pub, they love the food. The "Chief" and the waitress, Shinobu, are pleasant and magical. Somehow they get the best ingredients. The beer "what'sontapp" is always ice cold. They serve fresh fish even though they are not near an ocean. What is funny is that the different characters come in with different kind of troubles, and the Chief and waitress know exactly what they need to make them feel better. The food is simple, almost homey, but everyone leaves happy. For Chief, seeing his patrons come in after a long day and leave with a smile on their face is a good day. Kawaii.
From the Publisher:
A Japanese style pub called “Nobu” exists in a back alley of the fictional medieval European city of Eiteriach. Its customers? A pair of slacker soldiers, a spoiled heiress, an uptight tax collector, and more... When the citizens of this strange world sit down to enjoy some unfamiliar Japanese cuisine, their troubles simply melt away… The curtain rises on this otherworldly eatery and the gourmet fantasy about to unfold within!
