A charming manga. Feels like I'm on the other side of those "exotic" foods manga. They do explicitly say that these burgers are a culmination of the MC's global experiences. Combined with it being a heavily American food, it makes me, an American, feel like the burgers themselves aren't particularly creative. But the point is that they are at the very least new to the Japanese audience.

To me, the feeling is like when food based isekai are like "omg I've never had this fried chicken before!!!!! Karaage is amazing." Like, I gotta pretend to be impressed by a burger I have or see around all the time? Except in this case the mangaka actually had to go research different types of burgers and stuff that aren't as readily accessible in Japan, and it makes me kind of happy that someone appreciates burgers that much
