We've done to death the whole "maid-in-love who keeps it together until the MC's just offscreen," but this still feels so fresh, somehow. We've also done the falling-for-Superman-and-Clark-Kent thing to death, even if this time one version's tsundere and the other's kuudere.

But it's so fluffy and earnest in what it's doing that I'm delighted by little details like him getting slapped in a montage for trying to add strawberries to the curry, and cheering for this girl to get a happy ending despite the stupid misunderstandings I just KNOW are coming.

Cartoonish bad at cooking is such an infuriating trait for me. Most people seems to just find it comedic, but it's a pet peeve for me.

Real people that are bad at cooking are because they don't have much experience. They don't know how a taste will be affected by how much heat you cook things, or how to do certain steps properly. Stuff that can be fixed with practice and experience.

Anime bad at cooking is just straight up "I wanna strangle you" stupidity. Like, there's no way you're not doing that on purpose. It's not stuff that can be fixed with "practice" until you have bandages in your hand. It's like telling someone instructions to press the red button, and they poke their own eye out. Like come on dude. The problem isn't cooking at that point.

I'm genuinely curious if there really is anyone in real life who falls into this 'cartoonishly bad at cooking' category? Myself haven't encountered any, but what about anyone else here?

Eiga being bad at cooking makes sense he is a rich boy with his personal maid, why does he need to cook for? Well in this case, its to get a girl who is his maid to like him, not that he knows that.

I don't understand why Manga seems to act like cooking is impossible unless you have training. Cooking is a pretty simple and easy thing to do you only really need training if you're doing more complex recipes but most day-to-day life recipes are very easy I mean soup is literally just throw the right amount of things into a pot of hot water and let it sit for a while.

Some otherwise completely normal-seeming people are just constitutionally unsuited to process-based workflows and repetitive fine manual tasks, and I have had to take chef's knives away from them while they were like "it only hit my fingernail!"

You're right that it's down to no experience, but let me amend that to "no good/real experience." If you don't know what you're doing and don't approach it with a mind to learn, all the "experience" in the world isn't going to help, because you never once tried to strictly follow a recipe before making substitutions or winging it.

Like, obviously it's exaggerated for comic effect in manga, but the biggest difference is that in manga they take the obviously failed science experiment and plate/serve it. Usually when it goes horribly wrong, it's like, mechanically impossible to continue. And I only know like two people who serve things they don't try... but even those types exist.

And the true horror that manga usually leaves out is someone like me staring up into an inverted saucepan like "Yeah, I don't know how you're even going to clean this. Brakleen? Muffle furnace? Piranha solution?"

They're out there.

You'll be surprised, I know several. They are just as bad as those from mangas, not being able to differentiate ingredients or using salt instead of sugar, there's a lot that could go wrong.

Okay not cutting veggies right and all, that makes sense.

But who tf in their right mind goes "you know what will make this curry better? The stinkiest food in the world! That's a great idea!"

The thing I love is the fact that he has bandages all over the hand he's holding the knife with. Like... how do you manage to cut the hand that's holding the knife handle.
