From the James Tripee Award Winning author, Fumi Yoshinaga, comes a casual romance between two 40-year-old men and the many meals they share together.
Over the past decade few female comic artists have been as beloved
or as recognized for their work internationally as Fumi Yoshinaga.
Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1971, Yoshinaga is a graduate of Tokyo's
prestigious Keio University. A lifelong comic artist and story
teller, she made her professional debut in 1994 with her short
series, The Moon and the Sandals, serialized in Houbunsha's monthly
Boys Love anthology Hanaoto. Since her debut Yoshinaga has penned
more than a dozen, with a good number of them having been adapted
into motion pictures and animated TV series. Her work on Antique
Bakery sent her into international fame and she has since been
nominated in the United States for the Eisner Award for her titles
- Flowers of Life and Ooku.
In 2009 she was recognized with the James Tiptree Award for her
literary contributions covering the topics of gender in speculative
fiction in her title Ooku. Ooku also received the Osamu Tezuka
Award and the Shogakukan Manga Award.
“What Did You Eat Yesterday? inspires me in two ways: Shiro’s meals always include tasty-sounding side dishes that show me more ways to include vegetables in a better balanced diet, and I’m touched by the love and respect expressed through cooking for those you care about.” — Comics Worth Reading
