Enjoyable and well drawn series about two orphaned step-children living and cooking together. Interestingly both are fairly capable cooks so there's not much of the usual 'one person is the apprentice, the other is the master' dynamic you often see in paired cooking manga. The vocab is not strikingly difficult but there is a surprising amount of dialogue that can go in some random directions (pro wrestling, a snowball fight etc), and some characters are known by eccentric nicknames ("Sexy" and "Long Kiss Goodnight" are standouts) so it's a bit more difficult than you would think. There's also some vaguely risque content (nothing explicit) involving the older sister, but it's mostly fairly tame by manga standards and it seems mostly on the up and up otherwise.
