Leaving the topic of whether women have it easier or not (the answer is, we don't... After all, we have to deal with a ton of judgment from people because of how we look, and let's not get started with the topic of sexual harassment), there's the thing about the author not feeling lustful...
It was pretty good in general, but the part where you didn't really know what she was saying, she was naming some ingredients. Mayonnaise, aonori, katsuobushi, pickled red ginger and something else that escapes my mind at the moment.
@Ab2207 YES! I got the same vibes! The eyes are very similar to Takeuchi Tomo's. I wonder if the author was Takeuchi-sensei's assistant at some point, because the art is very fluid and beautiful.
This story is just freaking adorable and sad at the same time. Plus, I was thinking of something. Colette in Japanese could be transliterated to koretto... And Kore was one of the names of Persephone.
