Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu #3

A chef proudly presents an elaborate sashimi platter at the heart of this third volume, flanked by two smiling young women — one in a traditional apron and one with bright auburn hair — against a backdrop hinting at a well-stocked kitchen. Manga artist Virginia Nitouhei brings Natsuya Semikawa's original story to life with warm, inviting linework that makes the food look genuinely irresistible. If cozy culinary manga with a fantastical twist is your thing, Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu is serving up exactly that in 2019.
