Our Dining Table

 Our Dining Table by Mita Ori, 236 pages.

Yutaka is a great cook, but his own poor childhood has left him too nervous to eat around other people, so he mostly ends up eating convenience food. A chance encounter with brothers Minoru and Tane leaves him somehow promising to come to their house and teach them how he makes Onigiri. The brothers recently lost their mother, and despite his best efforts older brother Minoru is a terrible cook, and taking care of his much younger brother has been proving a real challenge. Soon Yutaka is coming over to cook often, and that is exactly how a better family is built (especially once he and Minoru start falling in love). 

This was an extremely wholesome comic. The characters were all very sweet, and the story felt the same kind of wholesome as a good meal. My only real complaint is that the fact that the whole story is in a single volume means there are a lot of things that are mentioned but are never really explored. I feel like if this was a four volume series it might have more depth, but as is it's a warm, single setting story. I would recommend it as a light read and a good option for trying manga.
