Oishii Veranda/Delicious Veranda
おいしいベランダ。Publisher: Fujimi L Bunko/Fujimi Shobo
Novel: 12 volumes (ongoing)
Series PageSynopsis: (as I can understand from Google translation)
18 year old Mori Kurisaka, who started living alone in Tokyo when she entered university, was secretly fascinated by Akita Hajime, the handsome designer in his late 20s, who lives next door. Under the motto of "Grow only what can be eaten," he arranges dishes made from harvested vegetables and plants from his veranda.Why I Want It:
This series meets my need for a romance series with adult characters set in our world, and is not an isekai and does not contain any fantasy, supernatural, or sci-fi elements whatsoever. I'll freely admit that it was the covers that drew me in (take a look, they're all beautiful) but the combination of the story, reviews, and covers make the series sound like a heartwarming, relaxing and diabetes-inducing read, which I feel would be a good fit for JNC. And hey, another cooking novel wouldn't hurt anyone, right? And to set itself apart, this one has a focus on gardening and will have meals you can actually make in our world (I don't know if they're included in the books but the website includes recipes).
-
The covers are gorgeous. Also good reviews in Amazon.jp, so upvote from me.

Gets my vote
Romance cooking gardening
Not isekei, fantasy, supernatural, or murder

I jumped on that upvote button faster than I do on a bowl of ramen. And I jump on ramen pretty darn fast. :P

Volume 7 coming out 8/10:
-
Volume 8 came out a couple months ago. I still really, really want this series. It could be a good candidate for J-Novel Heart.
-
My interest is piqued.
-
This sounds lovely (and honestly the covers made me a little hungry) and we need more J-heart titles that aren't fantasy, for a change of pace if nothing else.
-
Yes, I would love to this on JNC
-
This looks relaxing and sweet. I like it
-
This looks really sweet, I'd love to see a series like this picked up!
-
I would definitely buy since grounded romance LN are scarce.
-
Volume 9 came out last month:
-
It sounds lovely.
-
My gentle poke/reminder that this series exists and that I really really want it. : )
Volume 10 coming 6/15:
-
@hyperion Oh yeah, this looks great! Please JNC!
-
@hyperion Is this the last volume? Because a lot of novels have their last volume cover with a wedding dress
-
@nofairytale Bookwalker does indeed say in the volume 10 description that the "main part" of the series is complete, and the whole series now has a "complete" tag.
