Restaurant to Another World

Restaurant to Another World (2020–2021, Yen Press) adapts the popular light novel into a four-issue comic series, where a mysterious Tokyo restaurant opens its doors every Saturday to fantastical visitors from a parallel world. Each issue focuses on a different customer—be it a dragon, a noble, or an adventurer—savoring the familiar comfort of Western and Japanese dishes. The series, illustrated by Takaaki Kugatsu, brings a warm, slice-of-life charm to the isekai genre by celebrating the universal joy of a good meal. It matters for its gentle, episodic storytelling that finds magic in everyday cuisine.
