review:
'Let's Eat Ramen and Other Doujinshi Short Stories' is a collection of short stories by two creators. These are stories that can be a bit hard to find for Western readers. I'm not sure that makes them worth hunting down, but you might disagree.

The title story is actually 3 short ones about a girl who loves ramen, but can't seem to go into a restaurant by herself to order it. This is because of all the boys that are in these restaurants. She finds a boy to go on her culinary adventures, and these lead to romantic interludes. With a twist.

The rest of the stories are about girls in love, or girls who are friends. There's also one about a girl ghost that hangs out near a flower garden at a school.

I kind of liked the ramen stories. They were fun and the creator put in a couple funny paragraphs after each chapter to talk about things like why he didn't show any of the characters actually eating ramen, and other things. The rest of the stories just didn't appeal to me. I realize I'm not the audience for these, but I gave it a shot.

I received a review copy of this manga from Diamond Book Distributors, Gen Manga Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
