Summary
One day Suzume who suddenly cannot wake up from sleep wanders into the town that never wakes up called Lutetia and ends up working at the coffee shop Cattle.
This is a new gourmet food fantasy that unravels the mystery of why she can no longer wake up along with the delicious cafe menu and the charming dream residents.
The first commercial series by a popular upandcoming author.
Very wholesome cute slice of life. In addition it has solid worldbuilding and a wonderful ending. The story was full of delicious food and love.
The entire series has only two volumes so its an easy length to read. And it made me hungry
Artstyle is so good so fit.
The facial expressions are deformed and adorable and the drawings of the dishes and backgrounds are sophisticated. The cover art for each chapter which combines the Suzume with culinary motifs is cute and highly creative I really love it.
Basically it consists of short complete stories with one dish featured in each chapter. At the end of the chapter you can find the recipe for the dish.

I really enjoy seeing posts that imitate the dishes in this series. I want to do something too.
Consistent theme and atmosphere. Unlike the simple slice of life series there is an underlying dark plot and excellent disclosure and development pacing.
From the beginning it is implied that Lutetia is a dream as the place is too comfortable and Suzume has no previous memory of it.
I add it to my favorite complete series
