Beauty and the Feast #3

Satomi U's slice-of-life manga serves up another warm, food-filled volume with this third installment. The cover captures the series' cozy charm perfectly: a wide-eyed young man mid-bite with chopsticks and a heaping bowl of rice, an apron-wearing young woman with long dark hair and glasses beaming over his shoulder, and a skeptical little girl watching the scene unfold around a table laden with steaks, miso soup, rice bowls, and side dishes. If this spread is any indication, volume three of *Beauty and the Feast* continues to make sharing a home-cooked meal feel like the most rewarding thing in the world.
