Crazy Food Truck (クレイジーフードトラック), 2020-2021, Ogaki, Rokurou, Comic Bunch
STORY: 3
Meet Gordon Goliath, a man driving a food truck around a post-apocalyptic landscape. He encounters the mysterious Arisa, a character defined by constantly being hungry and flashing her naked body. There’s other characters that are, without exception, stereotypes from the most generic manga, and they are not even worthy to talk about.
The strongest point of the manga is the cooking scenes. As for the story, it’s a mix from different genres but all the aspects feel so shallow, and sometimes lazy, that there’s also not much to care about.

ART: 4
Maybe the weakest point of this tittle. All characters are so generic it feels they were designed by an amateur. There’s a few detailed backgrounds, but maybe having most of the story taking place in an empty desert is not a coincidence..

POLITICAL POTENTIAL: 4
Whoa, we are on grounds that are too superficial to talk about politics here. Let’s mention the many casual murders that occurs, and potentially the extinction of a species for the sake of cooking.

FEMINISM: 3
When you open a manga that draws breasts like soccer balls, you know you are in for a low feminist score. Besides cooking food, the other thing happening in the manga is the constant gaze on Arisa, who ‘likes’ to be naked. This is made worse by the fact that Arisa is behaving like a child and that Gordon sleeps with her despite looking like he could be her dad.

CONCLUSION: 4/10
Everything is so shallow in this title that I first thought it was an amateur work. It was actually serialized in Comic Bunch, a big editor, but apparently got axed, which makes sense considering the low quality.
If you are after a very light slice of life manga with young breasts and food, then you could try Crazy Food Truck. Otherwise, these 3 volumes are way too much of your time.
