Try the best-selling cookbook from the Edo period! A manga about making and eating 100 tofu dishes. Manga artist Kozaru Hanafuku takes on the challenge of writing the tofu cookbook "Tofu Hyakuchin," which was a huge bestseller during the Edo period. While reading the original text, I made and ate 100 tofu dishes, and then I made and ate them... We will thoroughly enjoy tofu recipes from the Edo period, which are sometimes delicious and sometimes not, while feeling the wonders of ancient food culture and the interestingness of Japanese culture. Edo cookbooks are surprisingly useful and full of crap. Don't think of ``Tofu Hyakuchin Hyakuban Contest'' as just another food report comic essay; it's a fun and useful manga that's fun to read and can serve as a reference for your evening menu.

Nanako works in an advertising agency but only takes home about ¥160,000 a month, which is not enough to pay her bills. Eventually, her electricity and gas are cut off due to non-payment, so she decides to moonlight as a cabaret club hostess because she hears the pay is good. She’s hired to work three hours every weeknight, but her first shift overwhelms her. Nanako has a low-key personality, but her colleagues, including her supervisor, Mr. Oda, are all high-powered hustlers. She also finds it difficult to develop any kind of relationship with the customers.
