Part comic, part cookbook. In the narrative, a hard-working middle-aged gay couple in Tokyo come to enjoy the finer moments of life through food. After long days at work, Shiro and Kenji will always have down-time together by the dinner table where they can discuss their feelings and enjoy delicately prepared home cooked meals. Not only is food incorporated into the narrative, but the frames actually take readers through the process of preparing meals...

Accomplished home chef he might be, Shiro proceeds on the assumption that no two of his curries will ever taste the same.

In this second installment of Fumi Yoshinaga's deliciously charming slice-of-gay-life, we delve into the beginnings of Shiro and Kenji's relationship. Shiro continues to expand his culinary creativity while dealing with problomatic clients and his well-meaning but misguided mother, who comes to rely on him when a health scare hits close to home.

Kenji and Shiro are middle-aged gay couple in Japan - who deepen their relationship and celebrate their lives together through home cooking. Here we learn that happiness depends on small constant pleasures (meals first and foremost) - and that the reason Kenji fell for Shiro has to do with '80s manga.
