Many thanks to the people who responded to Otaku Champloo’s Moyashimon giveaway and honestly all of you have lovely stories on how you came to learn about Japanese food through manga!

In the end it was hard to choose but I suppose, even if his entry was old, the passion and the effort he placed in those entries moved me to the point that I believe he embodied Itsuki-sensei’s culinary curiosity.

Hence, Derik, congratulations!

You will receive a copy of a volume 2 of Moyashimon from me! I’ll be contacting you soon for your contact details!

Since it’s my fifth anniversary month, stay tuned for another manga giveaway! This time, it pays to think “negative.”
