Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (2023)

A nice break from the hustle and bustle of it all

Whilst most BL's focus on the falling in love and all the intense emotions connected, What Did You Eat Yesterday, allows us to just relax and take a break with some wonderful characters living their low-stakes lives. You won't get the tearful love confession in the rain, but you will get some sweet moments and great recipes. It's just overall a lovely show you can relax to, it's sincere and you can just feel the steadiness of the relationship between Kenji and Shiro, which makes it non-stressful when they bicker at times. If you're looking for some more 'grown up' queer centric stories this is a great one (and might just give you some inspiration for what to cook next).

another solid entry in the What Did You Eat Yesterday franchise

The suggested watch order for the franchise (all on GagaOOLala now) is: What Did You Eat Yesterday season 1, What Did You Eat Yesterday New Year's special, What Did You Eat Yesterday movie and What Did You Eat Yesterday season 2.

Content Warnings: mention of past death

What I Liked
- very similar vibe to the past installments, talked about finances, shopping and cooking food, life issues that they work through
- enjoyed Gilbert's character again (several characters from past installments in the franchise), episode 6 was one of my favorites
- funny parts (like when they first learned about Gilbert's age lmao)
- Kenji's supportive mom and sisters
- that the other parents came around, would have been nice to see a final scene with all 4 of them though
- talked about the partnership system, and difficulty of getting the same rights as other couples

Room For Improvement
- that younger guy at the hair salon irritated me and the owner guy (didn't feel empathy for him)
- wanted to see a tad more explicit physical affection (even a quick kiss on the cheek would have been awesome)
- unrealistic that Shiro's grocery store friend wouldn't have met Kenji in 5 years
