日日べんとう [Nichi Nichi Bentou] #2

A bespectacled young woman holds a pair of chopsticks over a beautifully packed bento box — rice, vegetables, and carefully arranged sides all visible — and the quiet pleasure on her face says everything about the joy of a lovingly made meal. Mioko Sano's Nichi Nichi Bentou continues with this second volume from Shueisha, and the cover's warm, unhurried mood captures exactly the series' gentle appeal. If everyday lunch culture done with care and charm sounds like your kind of manga, this one belongs on your shelf.
