20. Midnight Diner - Yaro Abe. You might seen the drama version on Netflix. Tbh I wasn't fond of the drawing at first but as I read it, it grew on me and ended up loving all these heartwarming food + human drama stories. I also love his "Mimikaki" comic ( about ear cleaning )

21. Blank Canvas - Akiko Higashimura. ( who did Jellyfish Princess - also super good !) I always recommend this one for anyone who is struggling with art. Can't read this without ?I also love her "Gourmet Detective"??️‍♂️,"Mama wa Temparist" ??and "Tokyo Tarareba Girls" ?‍♀️⁉️?.

22. Animal Doctor - Noriko Sasaki. It's about humorous adventures of a Hokkaido veterinary student, his friends, and his dog, learning how to care for all kinds of animals. I just love her comical expressions. One of my life favorite comic. Her "Heaven?" ( ???) is also ???

23. Hyakko - Haruaki Kato. Been following him since "Yuhi Romance" 2005. I just LOVE his pencil line works and his cute silly hs girls. I also love his "Abnormal Kei Girls" ?‍♀️??but sadly, but as usual, author is probably not going to complete the series. But still good tho!

24. Delicious in Dungeon - Ryoko Kui. Fantasy food adventures in Dungeon. I need anime of this. Her short stories series are also amazing too - she literally can draw anything. Ranges from modern slice of life, ancient Europe, old Japan, supernatural, comical to serious themes.
