I’d prefer a chronological collection, but it looks like that there are enough untranslated volumes that it would be too much to hope for.

So glad I could recommend something you enjoyed! A soap opera-themed volume or two is a neat idea.

As am I. I’ve just finished the series — entirely your fault, by the way, and thank you — and while the culinary pr0n was an utter treat, the way the themed collections broke up the character development kept jerking me out of the stories. I hope these editions sell well enough that Viz considers some sort of omnibus collection. I wouldn’t mind buying some of these stories twice if it means I get to see how certain characters proposed marriage to each other or the reactions to *mumblemumble* being pregnant.

That seems to have surprised a lot of people, but I thought it was announced as a limited run from the beginning. I hope Viz is willing to consider more volumes in the future.

This is the last one? Oh, that’s a shame. I was really starting to enjoy this series. I would have liked to see some sort of conclusion to Yamaoka’s relationship with his estranged father.

Thanks for the review.
