O-M-G! I LOVE YOSHINAGA FUMI!!!!! *hearts*
So, I have been buying all of Yoshinaga-sensei's works and I mean I own almost everything she has ever done manga-wise in either English, Japanese, or both. Recently, other than Ooku, the series that I've been reading is "Kinou Nani Tabeta?" (What Did You Eat Yesterday?) It is absolutely fabulous! I have never read a manga that has such an entertaining storyline with so much detail on food and various recipes within.
The story is about a 43 year-old lawyer who is a total narcissist, gay, exceptionally good-looking, and an impeccable cook, and he lives with his hair stylist boyfriend of three years, and he cooks for him. Each chapter has something with food in it and it shows lots of detail on how the dishes are prepared, plus it has a very entertaining story to each installment. It's almost like the storyline itself is a supplement to the cooking and food preparation within the series. It's very creative, fresh, and totally Yoshinaga-style. I just love her to death. This is such a great series and I highly recommend it if you're a big fan of food *__* Even better = gay couples x food x lots of humor. The overall series is very light and funny -- unless they suddenly go all dark and gloomy later -- and it's very enjoyable like a good meal ^_^
