By that I mean we&#8217;ll be talking about food, and if we&#8217;re lucky, eat some food!<\/p>\n<p>From <strong>May 22 &#8211; 27<\/strong>, I will be your host to the diverse flavors and cuisines found in <strong>Oishinbo and Food Manga!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an MMF feast for the hungry. I&#8217;m planning to put up some serious meals and discuss nothing but food with everyone! I&#8217;m hoping that at least we can entice readers to discover new food, maybe make readers understand and appreciate what&#8217;s on their plate, or make the world more aware how amazing Oishinbo and this genre is!<\/p>\n<h3>Oishinbo and Food Manga? That&#8217;s a lot, Khursten!<\/h3>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s a lot, but it&#8217;s all right. We can manage, yeah? As it is, there&#8217;s not a lot of English-licensed food manga out there. Thus, at the least, I&#8217;d like people to start from Oishinbo and head on from there. Those who have other titles and other food manga experiences in mind will be welcomed as well!<\/p>\n<p>But what makes food manga? Simply put, it&#8217;s a manga that&#8217;s centered around food. It may have a running story line but at the end of the day the people are either talking mostly about how food is made or how a particular restaurant dish tastes like. It&#8217;s still a small genre in English but we&#8217;re hoping, after this MMF, we can inspire more people to appreciate food manga.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a run-down of some Food Manga titles in English:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Antique+Bakery\">Antique Bakery<\/a> by Yoshinaga Fumi<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Antique+Bakery#\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Drops+of+God&amp;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3ADrops+of+God\">Drops of God<\/a> by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmanga.com\/ekiben-hitoritabi\/1\">Ekiben Hitoritabi<\/a> by Kan Sakurai and Jun Hayase<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmanga.com\/gokudou-meshi\/1\">Gokudou Meshi<\/a> by Shigeru Tsuchiyama<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Antique+Bakery#\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Iron+Wok+Jan&amp;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AIron+Wok+Jan\">Iron Wok Jan<\/a> by Shinji Saijyo<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Antique+Bakery#\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Kitchen+Princess&amp;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AKitchen+Princess\">Kitchen Princess<\/a> by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmanga.com\/kodoku-no-gourmet\/1\">Kodoku no Gourmet<\/a> by Masayuki Kusumi and Jiro Taniguchi<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=sr_nr_n_1?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AMixed+Vegetables%2Cn%3A%211000%2Cn%3A4366&amp;bbn=1000&amp;keywords=Mixed+Vegetables&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1336637167&amp;rnid=1000\">Mixed Vegetables<\/a> by Ayumi Komura<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=sr_nr_n_0?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Ayakitate+japan%2Cn%3A%211000%2Cn%3A4366&amp;bbn=1000&amp;keywords=yakitate+japan&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1336637338&amp;rnid=1000#\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D4366&amp;field-keywords=Moyashimon&amp;rh=n%3A283155%2Cn%3A%211000%2Cn%3A4366%2Ck%3AMoyashimon\">Moyashimon<\/a> by Ishikawa Masayuki<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Not-Love-But-Delicious-Foods\/dp\/0759531870\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1336637207&amp;sr=1-1\">Not love but delicious foods<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0by Yoshinaga Fumi<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Oishinbo\">Oishinbo<\/a> by Tetsu Kariya and Hanasaki Akira<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmanga.com\/shiawase-restaurant\/1\">Shiawase Restaurant<\/a> by Yasuhiro Nakanishi<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Oishinbo#\/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Toriko&amp;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AToriko\">Toriko<\/a> by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=sr_nr_n_0?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Ayakitate+japan%2Cn%3A%211000%2Cn%3A4366&amp;bbn=1000&amp;keywords=yakitate+japan&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1336637338&amp;rnid=1000\">Yakitate!
