Considerations This is a spoilerfree review. 70+ in my rating means average. Ive got to read this work on a friends recommendation. I didnt look too much into the synopsis and just started reading. The Story Yutaka is living through a rough and lonely period until he finds Tana and Ueda two energetic brothers that are willing to share meals with him. The story of Our Dining Table is good. As a SoL slice of life I was expecting something very trivial without much development and some of an Iyashikei comfortable/healing vibe but the manga has a great dramatic side. The pacing is very well done and you really feel both styles chapters focused on developing the drama and bringing a serious side to the story and panels that are very comfy and warm you up. Its the perfect mix for an afternoon read especially since its a short work. The Art Style The art style is pretty simple yet good. My closest reference would be to what I call the shojo art style. While the characters designs and expressions are excellent other aspects fall short. 420https://animecafehost.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/yutakameetstane.png?w=440 In the shojo art style the main complaints that I have are the lack of background detail and the amount of white. Sometimes the manga is so white that reading at night can hurt your eyes but besides that everything works pretty well. 320https://ramenparados.com/wpcontent/uploads/2021/04/ourdiningtable3.jpg Flashbang.jpg The Characters There are a small number of characters in this work Yutaka Ueda Tana their family and a few supporting characters. Anything else besides Yutaka and Ueda isnt overly developed which is expected in a short time. The development on both of those is great and knowing their past experiences and how they molded them into who they are nowadays is a pretty charming experience. As I always like to talk about the main characters Yutaka was great I really wasnt expecting the dramatic development that he had and how he drives the manga. His character concept alongside Uedas is great. Conclusion If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point: Read it. Its a really short work that has only 8 chapters and I think that it has a nice drama that is worthwhile the time you spend on it. If you are used to shojo and can withstand the amount of white I believe that it will be a positive experience for most.
