Burned-Out Rika Can't Take Care of Herself

USD 1.49 / 149pt
When middle school teacher Rika's lack of self-care catches up to her, she quits her job to recover her health and ends up taking a part-time gig at the local Chinese restaurant: no overtime, no take-home work, and two delicious employee meals a day. The owner Momose and his lack of brain-to-mouth filter prove to be a handful, but his amazing cooking shoots Rika's quality of life straight through the roof! This exhausted overachiever is realizing that being a "proper adult" is harder than it seemed... and her journey of healing might just come with a side of romance!

Like if a warm bowl of soup was a manga
A soothing, relatable story about a woman finally learning to give herself a break. As someone who's been in a similar spot as Rika once upon a time, this one hits pretty close to home, but it keeps things light and focuses more on the warmth and healing than anything. It's a great look at all the different shapes happiness, family, and success can take. Plus, the domestic moments with Momose and little Hinata are so cute!!!
