Synopsis

In an Earth that has opened its borders to a variety of aliens, Kumika is considered an oddity by her coworkers, being an alien that doesn’t eat or drink at all, instead sustaining herself solely on the air's nutrients. Due to this ability and her poverty-ridden past, Kumika regularly rejects after-work invitations to restaurants and bars, and seeks to spend her time on Earth solely to work—causing her coworkers to perceive her as a cold person.

However, Kumika finds that she is unable to keep up a work-only lifestyle, as she ends up collapsing at work from exhaustion one day. Noticing that she is malnourished, her coworker Chihiro serves Kumika her first meal ever: a bowl of hot udon. Instantly revitalizing her, Kumika awakens to the joys and pleasure that food has to offer, with a stomach that growls and craves for flavors and textures to explore—thus begins Kumika's journey to eat the various cuisines that Earth has to offer.

Have you ever read a genderbend hentai? In them, every act that are considered normal in other H are given a whole new perspective and treated as somewhat foreign and alien, thus giving these simple actions a ton of focus. After all, a dude may know how to make a girl feel good, but they can never understand how a female body really feel, much less the pleasure of being in one.

The manga is pretty much like that.

Our protagonist, Kumika, is an alien that doesn't need to eat. Because of that, the simple acts chewing, swallowing, or even any recreational activities like hanging out together ...

This gives me a warm nostalgic feeling whenever I go to reread it. Warm and fuzzy. Wholesome to the extreme.

How can I really describe what makes this manga so great without getting into too lengthy of a review? I'll try my best, but this'll be hard.

Well, first off, for those who like the "monster girl" genre but get sick of all the "uwu, you were kind to me once so can I like, sucky your dickywicky?", this does NOT have that. In fact, there is little fan service and zero harem (not to say there isn't some romance or fan service, but it's done very ...

My Synopsis: Set in a futuristic Japan (you won’t really see too much stuff outside earth) where Earth’s borders are open for space travel . Aliens are common place and come to Earth to visit/work (you’ll get some world building as you read through.) Our main character is Kumika a chick who doesn’t need to eat because her species can absorb the nutrients needed through the air. (again enough exposition is done to know how this is done)
It’s a good manga with some really cute moments. It makes you feel nice and fluffy when you read it.

Story 7: Again fluffy manga so the story isn't ...
