I'm not usually a huge fan of 癒し系 works; they feel cute, but don't generally leave any sort of lasting impression on me. 僕らの食卓 exceeded all of my modest expectations, however: this manga felt like the epitome of happiness on a sad day for me. It's sweet, warm, comfy, and manages to touch on a couple of different relationship topics in a satisfying way.

Soft, heartwarming, and completely blissful, this manga is a story about family and what it means to eat together. There is a very sweet romance aspect, but that's not the primary focus, and mostly it's just an incredibly nice and cozy slice of life story (I would even use the term iyashikei). With lovable characters, adorable art, and all the catharsis and emotional vulnerability that the best of BL can offer, this is definitely a gem in the genre.

Difficulty wise, I think this rating is fairl

This was such cute and heartwarming story. It doesn't have furigana which might be intimidating fror some. But I agree with kallisto that the grammar and vocabulary are quite straightforward.

This was a really lovely one-shot. Barring one chapter which contained a flashback sequence, I feel this was pretty straightforward as grammar and vocabulary go. Definitely recommend.
