And the winner of the Oi, Oishinbo! manga giveaway is…AshLynx!
As the winner, AshLynx will be receiving a copy of Oishinbo, A la Carte: Japanese Cuisine by Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki. Oishinbo is one of the most successful and well-known food manga out there (at least in Japan), so for this giveaway I asked that people tell me a little about their own favorite food manga. Check out the giveaway comments for everyone’s responses. As usually, I’ve also taken the giveaway as an opportunity to compile a list. Below you’ll find some food-centric manga, as well as a few manga where food isn’t the focus but still plays an important role.
