to be fair - Daichi's not done shit, because the few times he even tried to hug her, he's gotten punched for it.
And they've been canonically dating for over a year, by the time chapter 1 starts.

So .... yeah. Be jealous I guess, but it's not like there's much going on to be jealous over.
They've been dating for A YEAR and not done anything?? What the heck man?!

This is not Reiwa energy...

I really liked the first couple of chapters of this manga but when they keep re-using the whole "let me train/study/improve to become worthy of you" trope several times (see you in 2 or 3 chapters), it gets boring. Seems like this one won't go anywhere until the axe is around the corner

Her presentation and and staging of the dish could definitely use some work but it's not a one out of five, especially by anime 'bad cooking' standards. It looks bland but I've seen worse from new cooks and first year culinary students.
Nah, that's definitely a one out of five in appearance for a bento lunch. It doesn't fill the space properly, everything is malformed, smashed together, and/or hacked apart into random, uneven chunks, and there's no effort put into arrangement aside from using the by-default divider to separate the rice lumps from the side dishes. Even the little paper cup for the seasonings is crushed, folded over, and sitting precariously atop other items for no good reason.

Things like 1's and 10's should be rare. A 1 out of 5 needs to be reserved for the absolute worst of the worst and you haven't seen the shit that I've seen man.
Chicken that's burnt on the outside and raw on the inside on top of half cooked basmati rice that's green for some reason. Turned out the student used a pot from the dich area without cleaning it, another student had used it to cook some greens. The color of the rice alone was enough to make me feel sick looking at it, the chef didn't even notice that the chicken was undercooked until after he already said he wouldn't eat it. This fucking student didn't see anything wrong with this either. He ended up getting kicked out after the third time he tried to feed the chef raw chicken.
Also a few lesser sins, he cut the chicken into an even number of strips for plating, and he forgot to garnish.

Yeah, it may not have looked like an art piece, but the food itself was well prepared and edible, that is a good initial performance from her side

See, that's not just appearance 1/5, that's cooking 1/5; note how high all the rest of the values were for the bento lunch, too, which means it can't just have raw spots inside, or be burnt on the outside; the appearance is superficial to the food's flavour and function, it just looks bad.

This said, chicken can be prepared raw just fine, so long as it's not from a US battery farm where salmonella is so prevalent they HAVE to use antibiotics to keep them healthy enough to fatten up and then cull and sell off.

I was talking about how it looked, I just wandered off because there was so much wrong with that one plate. It's been ten year's since I saw that plate. Sometimes when I'm alone with my thoughts, I still think about. I had a picture of it, but I can't seem to find it, I looked for at least an hour but I can't find it anymore. My retarded dyslexic will never be able to adequately describe what I saw in writing. I could tell something was wrong with it from the other side of the kitchen, it was 50 feet away. God, I can still see it in my mind.

That said, I think in order for the appearance of something to get a 1/5, it needs to repulse you. It needs to cause a physical reaction in your body that says "I'll die if I eat that!" the one I mentioned before was the actual worst thing I've ever seen in my life, but I've seen safe food that was almost as bad. The "don't eat that" signal was there but never on the same level. For me lumpy onigiri and messy looking veggies are far from a one. I've delved to deep into the dumpster that is assisting the first years of a culinary school.

Also about the chicken thing, don't fuck around with poultry. Just because where you're from doesn't have as much of a problem with a certain pathogen doesn't mean that it's safe. You might have less Nontyphoidal Salmonella, that doesn't mean none. Even if there was none, poultry can still carry Clostridium perfringens and Campylobacter. Campylobacter is the one that makes it feel like you're going to shit yourself to death, one of them anyways. Don't tempt fate, always temp your chicken.

Again, you're treating appearance as if it is a singular trait unaffected by the rest, when it is in fact factoring all the other traits. Edibility would be low if it were burnt as well, for example, same with if it were partially cooked on the outside but raw inside. Similarly, if it were something like slimy broccoli (without a sauce that would make it slimy, it just was slimy because of bacterial buildup) then edibility and nutrition is affected.

Also about the chicken thing, don't fuck around with poultry. Just because where you're from doesn't have as much of a problem with a certain pathogen doesn't mean that it's safe.

No, they literally do not carry those pathogens. You need to look at fish and seafood or curry mixes to get that. Any other meat type is clean. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0362028X24002138 There's a reason that they can eat meat sashimi and similar just fine.
