It's low rated because Mangago is full of thirsty fujoshis who just want to fetishizes gay man so they get bored if it there isn't drama or sex, I mean I do read some typical "yaoi" manga and I can enjoy them but I think stories like 'What did you eat yesterday?' needs to be more appreciate than the other ones since they portray gay relationships very well
I only started this recently but from what I can tell you get a lot of recipes and see them grow even older together, even though there's not much romance (no romance tag) the story develops burning slow and hot to serve a warm and gentle taste of its unique dynamic. Also highlights lgbt+ issues in Japan realistically from many characters pov, not bring up the typical unacceptance for the sake of only using it as some sort of element to create drama. gotta say I'm surprised a female wrote this. I see even some stories in "yaoi" are low rated by some with reasons it didn't explicitly show sex/their parts and it's 'not uncensored,’ It's ridiculous to base the entire story on trivial reasons like that.
This has awards and all but why is this low rated though? It's expected that it's a mature story given that both are a middle aged couple and the tags are also seinen, slice of life without romance. Both complement one another with their personalities, it's nice and refreshing to see realistic daily lives depicted instead of drama, explicit sex and such. Definitely going on my list!
I like the analysis on Wikipedia "Writing for Culture, Society and Masculinities, Katsuhiko Suganuma notes that the relationship between Shiro and Kenji is depicted as largely non-sexual, contrasting stereotypical media portrayals of gay men as hypersexual or sexually deviant.[16] Far from reinforcing equally permissive stereotypes of gay men as emasculated, Suganuma argues that by not depicting Shiro and Kenji's sex life, the series "intentionally ignores the expectations of the curiosity-ridden heteronormative public" to focus on the domestic lives of gay men.[16] Consequently, he cautions against interpreting What Did You Eat Yesterday? as being merely assimilationist or homonormative, arguing that it "provides readers with occasional instances of modification of gender and sexuality norms in contemporary Japanese society.
