It's so wild what happened to put this series on indefinate hiatus.
Basically the author wrote a chapter in which the people of Fukushima were forced out of their homes due to radiation leaks that happened after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake broke the Fukushima power plant. Problem is this didn't actually happen, the efforts of the government and the power plant itself prevented any nuclear leakage from happening, making the whole area safe. But even when pressured by the late Shinzo Abe the author refuses to acknowledge the backlash to this misinformation and even went on to say that he was "writing the truth", like some sorta conspiracy theorist.

Yeah, this story is full of bad takes. One the recent chapter, the one about curry, claim that the restriction on whale catching is 'American conspiracy'. Even the translator need to put a TL note on that.

I still don't like that chapter where a husband keep goofing off at night and coming back late, and he blames it the wife cooking not being homely enough. Like, TF is that. Even if the husband can't appreciate the wife's cooking, at least just talk to her! Communicate, motherfuckers.

Even the takes about food were weird sometimes. Well, that's more tolerable though. If because all food manga in general will have weird food takes at some point.
