There's a story that mapo tofu was originally created by a pockmarked old woman, and mapo literally means pockmarked old woman in Chinese, if anyone's curious.

It's a shame. Weirdly, I recently saw Shinya Shokudou-licensed instant noodles at the Asian market recently - but it was the Chinese drama adaptation of the manga. So I guess the noodles are popular enough but not the manga... Yet.

Gotta imagine the art does it no favors.

Truly the risk you run loving anime.... sometimes what seemed like a comrade is a criminal. Rough out there.

Good for her getting a solid career tho.

the most wtf chapter yet lol. as for why this isn't big, this is definitely not an action manga or a goofy romcom, and those are what become big in the scanlation crowd/manga audience in general

Probably because the drawing is awful...
