I've actually made it and ate it before and you don't use a lot of ketchup and the Parmesan goes well with it. The mushrooms and green bellpeppers add a unique aroma that balances out ketchup's weird sweetness. Honestly, if you hate ketchup, bellpeppers, and mushrooms, in the first place, you're not gonna like it to begin with.

or you could use tomatoes or tomato sauce of any kind and make a better dish. saying it is edible when you do everything possible to mask the main ingredient is not a very good endorsement.

I never said it masks it. I said it balances it out. It wouldn't be Napolitan if it didn't have some ketchup, it really is its own taste. That said, the critic going bananas over it in Izakaya Nobu and having a Ratatouille style flashback was a bit much, I'll give you that.

Fair enough. I need to read Dungeon Meshi from the beginning, I keep on just reading whatever updated chapters there are, but I do like it a lot especially all the meals made out of monsters.

Everything Burrito posted:e: oh yeah, I didn't see it mentioned but I was reading Konjiki no Word Master - Yuusha Yonin ni Makikomareta Unique Cheat up until this latest chapter but I'm done. It wasn't really my thing to start with and I mostly kept reading it because I'd followed it and couldn't be assed to delete it off my list, but it might be something one of y'all would like more than I did. Read about 10 chapters and don't feel like going any further than that. Not even Shield Hero had a protagonist as abrasive as this guyo and he arguably had more reasons to be that way. That guy is pure edge and angst and not even in highschool would that have been interesting enough to carry what's become the glut of "sent to fantasy land" cliche stories. Everyone is more interesting than him, there are at least three more interesting premises that are wasted because Hiiro just wants to be a cardboard cutout. So yeah it's bad.

"MC that is an abrasive rear end in a top hat for no reason, yet for someone reason girls cling to him" seems to be a new-ish sub-genre. Obviously the "Girls cling to MC" part isn't new, but in the past the MC was at least someone your average socially awkward teen/young adult could relate to, rather than some pointlessly misanthropic rear end in a top hat. Of course, the really cynical/depressing interpretation of this is that there's a huge number of Japanese manga consumers who actually identify with that type of MC. Compendium posted:Japanese people really like food and really love their own food and I can't find that kind of niche (or I'm not looking hard enough) where fictional people really loving love their booze and chow in Western media outside of certain movies or just straight up cooking shows from Youtube and television. The most similar thing I can think of in American culture is the way people talk about Southern food (in the South, at least). It seems just generally accepted that the food is the Best Thing Ever and people like to talk about how great they think it is. There's also the same "my culture is the best"undercurrent that I sense in Japanese food/cooking manga.

I guess it's got even more of that undercurrent w/ generic fantasy people going crazy over Japanese food (kind of how you get that undercurrent of how great Japan is from Thermae Romae, that series where that Roman dude gets his ideas for a bathhouse from visiting modern Japan). Personally, I'd say it's unintentional or at the very least not actively malicious, but it's there regardless since I can imagine the writers behind the stories wouldn't bother researching foods that are from other parts of the world unless it's specifically about different cuisines. That said, it's still kind of a fun thing to read about for myself because they're just framing the perspective of their staples in another way to magnify how great it is Just never found a problem with it because it's written for a Japanese audience in mind where they'd go, "Hell yeah fried chicken and beer is good, I want some now," while other people would go, "it's not THAT great." So at worst, eye rolling. Brought To You By posted:Read about 10 chapters and don't feel like going any further than that.

I went to look at the translated novel chapters and 100+ chapters in the MC doesn't really change from being an rear end in a top hat going, "I'm right, everyone else is stupid and dumb and never thinks while I clearly think ahead and poo poo. I am the poo poo."

It's pretty great, I think the author had spent some time in America as an exchange student or something and was writing it partially for the benefit of other would-be Japanese exchange students or people learning English. The guy really understood what high school in America is like!
