In Japan, viking (ãƒã‚¤ã‚ング) means buffet. Now, I don’t exactly know why it’s called ‘viking’ but my impression when I first saw that was perhaps Japanese thought that Vikings ate a lot and so it’s a feast for Vikings. Wikipedia has a boring answer, but for this Manga Moveable Feast, allow me to invite you to a viking so we can feast on some amazing things about food manga.
I’ll be offering a smorgasbord of articles and reviews for you to enjoy. So take your pick and perhaps you’ll choose the next food manga you’re reading!
