Oishinbo, vol 4- Fish, Sushi, Sashimi, by Tetsu Kariya, 258 pages
Food manga- who knew that was a thing? Oishinbo relates a group of newspaper writers who are trying to compile the "Ultimate Menu" of Japanese food. So every story focuses around a traditional Japanese food, dish, or preparation technique. Oftentimes, the characters teach about morals and learn lessons through the recipes. This particular volume gathers all of the issues related to fish, sushi and sashimi. Very interesting to read as a genre study- just prepare to get hungry.
