Editorial Review:
Reading manga sure can make a person hungry! Food appears frequently in Japanese comics, but what exactly is it that the characters are eating? Introducing The Manga Cookbook, an illustrated step-by-step guide to preparing simple Japanese dishes using ingredients found in every Western kitchen. Learn to identify and make the same things you see in all your favorite manga: authentic onigiri (rice balls), yakitori (skewered chicken), oshinko (pickled vegetables), udon (Japanese noodles), okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pizza) and many others! Includes sections on how to assemble bento boxed lunches and properly use chopsticks. Features original manga illustrations by Chihiro Hattori. Soon, you too can enjoy a meal fit for a manga character!

Rating:  - We love it!
Bought this book to help me learn to make Bento Boxes and my son enjoyed the book so much he got involved too! It is definitely written with kids in mind but easy enough for an adult to learn the "basics" of bento items to make.
Rating:  - Great for Kids, but too simple for Adults
If you're looking for a basic introduction to Japanese food, this works. If you're looking for something that gives you some Japanese recipes that don't require a lot of obscure or strange ingredients, this also works. In general, this makes a great kid's cookbook, but not much more. The recipes are all very simple, and while the art is cute, it just doesn't have enough content to be considered a true cookbook in my opinion.
Rating: - nice and easy intro to Japanese cooking
this book is awesome if you're interested in cooking Japanese cuisine. And if you're a beginner then all the better! Each recipe in this book is simply explained with pictures and words to make the cooking experience as easy as pie. I would defiantly recommend this cooking book to anyone interested in learning some basic Japanese recipes.
Rating: - Fantasic
This book is fantastic, wonderfully written, animated, and the meals are fantastic to boot! Cute, fun, and delicious. Now, to find a bento box to bring with me into the office, Pokemon, or Digimon?
Rating:  - cute basic cook book
This is a decent beginner's cookbook. It would be great for children or teenagers who want to learn how to cook. The photos in the beginning are fine, but it's a bit disorganized because of the lack of photos throughout the book especially for different recipes.
