Gourmet Girl Graffiti's Makoto Kawai Ends Amaetai Hi wa Soba ni Ite Manga

This year's May issue of Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazine published the final chapter of Happy Cooking Graffiti manga creator Makoto Kawai's Amaetai Hi wa Soba ni Ite four-panel manga on Tuesday. Houbunsha will publish the manga's third and final compiled book volume on May 27.

Kawai launched the manga in Manga Time Kirara in March 2017. The "android love story" centers on a high school boy, the girls around him, and an android girl.

Kawai ended the Happy Cooking Graffiti four-panel manga in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine in September 2016. The seventh and final compiled book volume shipped that month.

Happy Cooking Graffiti inspired a 12-episode television anime series that premiered in January 2015. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired under the title Gourmet Girl Graffiti, and Sentai Filmworks released the anime on home video in North America.
