Add a new series slated to appear later this week on the Manga Planet service with The Flavors of Kumika. The property comes from creator Akihiro Ononaka which began in 2015 and was serialized in Comic Ryu magazine. It ran until completion which amounted to six volumes published by Tokuma Shoten.
The first chapter will debut on June 13th, 2020 and will be available for free while the rest will be available on subscription.
Plot Concept: In a world where aliens live harmoniously with humans, there exists a kind of alien that doesn’t need to “eat” the way humans do. Hailing from the impoverished planet of Chlorodium #2, where food is a luxury, these aliens live by inhaling microorganisms from the air.
Kumika, an uptight, earnest office worker, is one such alien from Chlorodium #2. When a sudden cold leads to her being unable to “feed” herself her usual way, her coworker Chihiro comes to her rescue with a nice warm pot of udon noodles! After a lifetime of never having to eat human food, will Kumika ever get used to getting “hungry”?
