A single dad and a little girl learn the magic of cooking to bring families together in this manga that inspired a hit anime. Having lost his wife, math teacher Kouhei Inuzuka is doing his best to raise his young daughter Tsumugi as a single father. He's pretty bad at cooking and doesn't have a huge appetite to begin with, but chance brings his little family and one of his students, Kotori Iida, together for homemade adventures. With those three cooks in the kitchen, it's no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious.A beautifully drawn story about comfort food and family and grief, it's a delightful read.

Growing Pains -- Tsumugi’s growing up fast, and the more she wants to do, the more complications Kôhei has to deal with—from misunderstandings at school to the major milestone of Tsumugi’s first bicycle. Kotori’s life is getting busier, too, and it’s not just because of her burgeoning ambitions: Her family situation may be about to change. But despite all the hustle and bustle of their lives, the delights of food and cooking (sukiyaki, udon, and more!) sustain all three.
