How simple of an idea, having a warm meal back home. An entire manga made around the idea that you can suffer any level of mundane pain, if there's that meal when you're back.
Dipping my fingers into the slice of life genre, this story does the non-fresh aspect of the story, with slivers of a better story lying behind. The simple dynamic right on the synopsis, unchanging, unmoving, and all about looking at the slowest progression of the bonds we make from the smallest of coincidences.

It's a very cute 'romance' and slice of life manga. The titular heroine, Yakumo-san is adorable and likeable and the male protagonist, Yamato, while not very interesting, is at least somewhat quirky enough to be entertaining.
