Food for the Soul
Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi
Mako Kawai used to be outgoing back in elementary school, but these days she's pretty introverted—social anxiety has made her hesitant about trying new things, whether that's eating alone at a restaurant or putting herself out there to make friends. Her main hobby is watching food videos and recreating the recipes at home. Things change when Shinon Ogawa, her childhood friend, reconnects with her in college. Shinon's still got that same extroverted energy, and she quickly pulls Mako into her social circle. The group also includes Tsutsuji Higa, a laid-back guy, and Kurea Furutachi, who's got a good head on her shoulders. They're starting a Food Culture Research Club and want Mako to be their fourth member. Mako's reluctant at first, but she eventually realizes this is exactly what she needs—a chance to break out of her shell, actually enjoy life with people around her, and eat good food together.
