Seems interesting. The art style kinda reminds me of 'Sorry but I'm not yuri'.

We have truly reached a singularity point where local tourism, sports, food, and yuri subtext all merge into a super-dense black hole

I have been really enjoying this one lately. I am glad to see it has been picked up here.

The baseball references are so densely packed in that it would not shock me to find out this is sponsored. I hope it really is yuri with baseball and not friends learn about food and baseball

i see subtext, and i pray for the souls of the people that read it,

May the yuri gods give you strength!

These foodie slice of life manga have a reputation that they are relaxing... Well, chapter 3 features the annoying brother (no personality other than "I am a heterosexual man") and cuts away to focus on a random het couple's fight for like five pages... That bit didn't even have anything to do with the MC's epiphany, since it was only showed to the reader.

What makes it worse is that the dynamic of the two leads was pretty good in the first two chapters. But as soon as the MC's new friend is not around, the MC immediately gets surrounded by the miasma of clichéd (put presented as cute and wholesome) heterosexuality, which is quite the whiplash.

Edit: well, the series is already complete at 3 volumes, so it's best not to get your hopes up about the "subtext" going anywhere
