Been reading it lately, and it helps reduce my scrolling time. I've hardly read any, so you can recommend really popular stuff, too.

I've read Vagabond, 20th Century Boys, Claymore (years ago), and some berserk. I just finished reading Teppu, which I thought was an interesting subversion of a lot of anime tropes. I also liked that it was a short run (only 8 volumes). I guess I like seinen, but I've also enjoyed josei like She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat.

Anyway, no shonen please. Hard mode: please nothing about high school

Yeah, it hasn't aged well.๐Ÿ˜…

I'm just going to recall my suggestion.

tbh I mostly just remember it having curry recipes at the end - and I was hungry when I came across this post.

I should have freshened up on it before recommending. Thank you for catching my oversight.

Lol, no worries. I really enjoyed it when I was younger. And then scan team released a few chapters earlier this year and my excitement dimmed pretty quick when I remembered how much of a perv the MC was towards the love interest that I think I was still under 18? I don't remember how horrible it was, might not be a deal breaker to everybody.๐Ÿ˜…

If you like cooking stuff, have you ever checked out Yakitate Japan? It's about making bread!๐Ÿฅณ I think it's safe. It was a predecessor to Food Wars with its over the top reactions, but less sexually charged... I think.๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคž

I'm pretty open-minded about me personally consuming problematic content. I can choose how to engage with it - analyze, critique, reflect, ignore, or put the work down and move on with my life. I find the mainstream culture that I interact with daily to be fundamentally problematic (as well as the several other cultures I have lived among in my life), the awareness of which has given me a lot of practice navigating such issues.

However I do not like recommending works with problematic content. Especially to people I do not know well enough to understand they will engage with it. I agree it may not be a deal breaker for some, but that doesn't mean that I need or want to promote it.

I certainly do enjoy SFW content (and the lack of any guilt associated with them). I have not read Yakitate Japan but I used to have a group of friends that talked about it a lot. I might give it a spin. Thanks for the counter-recommendation!
