Week Thirteen: Manga, Anime and Japanese Cultural Values

Oishinbo was not really what I expected, and in all honestly, it didn't really peak my interest. the story and art just wasn't something I enjoyed. I will say that the art when it came to the food was spectacular. There's a Ringling professor that says "draw food like you plan on eating it". That's exactly what they did. It made me want to eat everything on the page! I also enjoyed getting to see the cooking from a cultural perspective. It's been awhile since I've seen real Japanese cuisine cooked. so this was a treat in a way!
