Moonlight Shadow was definitely a 5⭐️ story for me, a surprisingly heartwarming story of grief and nearly made me shed a tear.
Kitchen was more of a 4⭐️ read, I felt like it dragged on a little bit and some sections definitely haven’t aged well. I liked the characters and the story but wanted more focus on the kitchen lol
I wasn’t actually too keen on the writing style which I think is a translation issue, the translator used a lot of english sayings which felt out of place.

love it ! it even makes me cry, the depiction of food was amazing and motivate me to cook more, i really the characters and their relationship however i didn't like that a cute friendship kinda turned to have romance included just cause they're man and woman : " we have always acted like brother and sister, aren't we really man and woman in the primordial sense, and don't we think of each other in that way ?"
a another thing that i dislike is that they sometimes refer as a trans woman by saying that she is a man, which is not true she may be biologically a man but she's a woman. could be a five-star but I remove a star for the cishet nonsense but homewever a really nice and beautiful written story.
moonlight shadow 3,75⭐
I don't really know how I feel about it, i really liked it but the ending felt so rushed. i think the story could be more developed
