On Azuki. I would always see this comic in Japanese bookstores and be wowed by the cover illustrations of the hero eating food extremely aggressively. Years later I find out, well yeah, it's a competitive eating manga. Pure-hearted salaryman hero who loves food gets taken in by a cowboy pro eater (pictured) to battle against the dastardly West Japan eater faction who soak their food in water, destroying its beautiful taste. (I'm not a subject expert but note that probably around the time this was first coming out, soaking the food was becoming a thing and Joey Chestnut was beating Takeru Kobayashi with it, just saying) The author's great at drawing scenes that are exactly ridiculous enough.
