Between a 3.5 and a 4. I mean it didn't blow my mind, but I was engaged when reading a book about a cooking contest...yes...I know.

The artwork is the hardest thing to get in to for me. I love it sometimes, some people are drawn wonderfully, others this ugly disgusting look (which I assume is on purpose) but the major issue is trying to understand everything that is going on. Sometimes the art makes it hard to follow what the hell is happening.

I do love the pacing. It progressively gets more and more engaging. Especially seeing our hero come back into his old life, reuniting with his daughter, and dealing with his psycho of a wife. I think it just keeps building, and in a good way, and the ending leaves it open for the next volume in the best way.

Is it amazing? No. Is it very interesting? YES. And that's something special about something I normally wouldn't bother reading it. So I'm going to go with a 4 simply because it's something new, and that's special.
