Food Pleasures — Spring Volume

Ōhara Mitsuru hopes to marry Towa, whose cooking opens his eyes to food, care, and the making of a household. Friends gather around meals while family expectations threaten the match.

Murai Gensai’s Spring Volume blends comic domestic fiction with detailed Japanese and Western recipes. Characters investigate ingredients, kitchen economy, and the education of everyday life.

This complete edition includes all eighty-eight chapters, the author’s preface, every food-analysis table, and the concluding culinary and medical bibliography. Brief notes clarify measures and uncertain terms while preserving the historical text.
