164 chapters of a manga is far sure more of a commitment to read than 164 chapters of a webtoon, but it's worth it. The MC may start of annoying, emotive etc but it's a story about growth and his poor behaviour isn't left unchallenged which allows for growth. Guess today people would slate this as being "cultural appropriation" but it was interesting seeing how the Japanese patrons of the more rural restaurant were at first given a guide on what to expect from Italian cuisine (that pasta was eaten al dente etc) and how the chef used the spirit of Italian cuisine and adapted it with the ingredients to hand.
