Mangaworthreading.com. For a long while, this has been my most-anticipated manga release, even when it looked like we’d never see it in English, due to its specialized subject matter. What Did You Eat Yesterday? Is about two men who live together, one a lawyer and accomplished home cook, the other a hairdresser.

Firstly, the conception that the recent framing of popular series in the context of God or an afterlife being a resurgence of conservative thought. For one thing, God is seldom recognized as the motive force as it is in Supernatural. In Lost, we never understood who or what was the force at play.

The other issue I have is the characterization that conservative stories appoint a conservator of the status quoe and the stories involve triumph over self.

If their stories told us anything it was exactly that one must give up fighting outside events and concentrate on coming to terms with events within.
