Akie still needs to learn what's the right mood for a kiss, but besides that she got the dating aspect perfectly, that was a successful date.

Really curious how the "battles" work.

Maybe they get scored by how many people they can knock into Precious-arrest

Well more likely it Will be a popularity contest with different deciplines

This story is cute and I like it so far, but there are so many series like this tagged as comedy that don't even seem like they're attempting to be funny.

Gonna be shonen AF. Power levels, burning passion, commentators describing their moves, the works.

This concept is pretty cool, and also the main two are cute as heck.

That was a shorter battle than expected, but it was still extremely adorable before and after.

The idea of game-ifying a relationship terrifies me lol

Somehow I made it to chapter 4 before I realized how weirdly messed up this concept is

I think its cute, like a representation of what the readers are when they see a cute couple in a manga/anime/novel

This. It's about putting yuri on display for the world to see, who 'wins' or 'loses' doesn't matter so long as everyone gets to watch cute gays.

It's also not meant to be taken seriously, at least so far it's a very lighthearted romance-comedy.

Wow. Anime, and manga REALLY hammer home, the concept, that girls need to be good cooks. In fact It would be hard to find a long running shoujo anime/manga series that doesn't have at least one story arc involving the main characters either practicing, or displaying their culinary skills.

In fairness I know a TON of anime & manga where the male character(s) are/also great cooks. I think Japan in general values food & cooking, which as a foodie who loves cooking I'm here for it.

I also think it's a pretty common idea in many cultures that great food with friends & family is a good time. Which as you can guess I very much agree with, I love Holidays and cooking for others :D

Maybe you're right, but honestly the only examples of male characters that can cook, I can think of, are ones that are either studying to be chefs, or as a gender role swap thing. And I don't know of any male characters that studied cooking solely so he could "cook delicious food for the girl he liked".

I've had a long standing hatred of the girl cooking to please her man trope, ever since my Ranma 1/2 fandom days. Akane was always desperately trying to learn to cook for Ranma, despite the fact Ranma was a good cook already.
When Ranma's mom said she knew Akane was just trying to cook something to make Ranma smile, I angrily thought, why can't Ranma cook something to make Akane smile?!

EDIT: Can anyone name ANY anime/manga series with a chapter where a bunch of guys get together just to cook? For example, to make the girls they like homemade sweets for white day. (Food anime/manga, and yaoi don't count for obvious reasons.)
