In Japan, viking (\u00e3\u0192\u0090\u00e3\u201a\u00a4\u00e3\u201a\u00ad\u00e3\u0192\u00b3\u00e3\u201a\u00b0) 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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
