Alternate titles to avoid duplicate posts: Mazumeshi Elf to Yuboku gurashi, マズ飯エルフと遊牧暮らし
Author: Ooma Kurou
Artist: Watanabe Takashi
Publisher: Kodansha (Shonen Magazine Edge)
Volumes: 12 (manga is finished magazine-wise, so vol. 13 will be the last)Synopsis: Suzuki Saburo is the typical isekai MC. A high school boy who started to get into cooking after getting an injury during baseball, he suddenly found himself in another world one day. With the only thing on his person being his custom knife, he wandered a desolate prairie for three days before falling unconscious.
When he woke up, he found that a nomadic tribe of elves took him in. However, there’s one big problem - the tribe has terrible cooking. Can Saburo help teach the nomadic elves the true meaning of deliciousness?
Comments: Another manga-original series, the concept of a person going to another world and primarily cooking should be familiar to JNC folks. What makes this series different is that, since it’s a manga-original series, the author takes a few different liberties with the plot to take it away from traditional isekai fare. Can’t get into too much spoilers, but it tries to do its own thing.
