3.5

I really wish I could give this more than three stars, especially as a big fan of the anime. But it's hard to see this as little more than a cookbook. A lot of small interactions that exist in the anime aren't present here. It's really just a page or two of barebones plot and then a cooking lesson followed by a recipe. I don't expect the manga and anime to line up perfectly but I do expect plot and some development to exist in the story. 3.5 stars.
