When I saw the title, I was hoping this would be about pork ramen, but if it's like durarara then I'm not complaining

Reminds me of Durarara... I like this kind of stories. Hope it will be good.

Like the chara-designs, but the synopsis don't sound that interesting >_>

I thought this will involve Ramen cooking. Anyway will give it a try , character designs look nicely.

Jul 10, 2017 12:44 PM by Etherealis

Sounds interesting. I'll probably end up watching.

So this one is Durarara with food porn, we'll see about that.

Ah, this is the Baccano/durarara-like novel that media works bunko pushed hard by giving it the top (or was it the second?) spot in their literature prize before, right?
The thing is, readers didn't agree with that at all, saying it wasn't a good novel series.

Oh well, we'll see.

Edit : Yes, first place, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/電撃小説大賞 , it was in 2013. I thought that was more recent than that tbh. Aaaah, right, I remember now, that same year "boku ga nana fushigi ni natta wake" took second place behind it, indeed. That one is actually good, btw.

Jul 10, 2017 1:15 AM by Robiiii
