Template:Short description Template:About Template:Infobox animanga/Header Template:Infobox animanga/Print Template:Infobox animanga/Footer Template:Nihongo is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Satomi U. It was serialized in Square Enix's Young Gangan from March 2016 to March 2021, and published in eleven volumes.
Plot
28-year-old Shuuko Yakumo is aimlessly living day-to-day life since she lost her husband. She's content to live out her days in peace until a 15-year-old high school student named Shohei Yamato moves next door. Curious about her new neighbor, she soon finds that he lives alone and works himself to the bone as the only scholarship student for his school's baseball team. Not only that, but he's been living off nothing but convenience store food.
Worried for his health, Yakumo invites Yamato to eat dinner at her place from now on so he can perform his best. But after extending this invitation, she soon finds that the high schooler possesses a monstrous appetite, and she has to get creative to keep up with his dietary needs. All the while, Yamato's ability to pack away food brings back memories of Yakumo's husband.
And so begins the story of a lonely widow rediscovering her passion for cooking to feed a very hungry high schooler.
