SPACE CHEF CAISAR

This work is nothing remotely resembling a masterpiece, but its well drawn and the story is over the top in such a way as that its hard not to find it charming.

Story: 3. The story basically doesnt exist. The chapters are pretty much just an excuse for Boichi to draw softcore porn and really dynamic cooking scenes. I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but essentially, every chapter involves the female characters getting naked and Caesar cooking something awesome. Its hard to say its even bad, since its pretty much not even there.

Art: 8. Boichi is an expert draftsperson, and thats on full display here, with lots of gorgeous two page spreads, action scenes, and really good looking food. I would have prefered less fanservice scenes, but those at least are well drawn.

Character: 4There's Caesar, a guy whos really, really good at cooking, and three mostly naked bouny hunter chicks who follow him around. They are neither especially interesting or original, but the work is so short that at least they dont overstay their welcome.

Enjoyment: 6. For all its many flaws, its obvious Boichi really put alot of effort and heart into this, and that at least allows it to be a reasonably entertaining (if not especially memorable) read.

Overall: 5. For those curious about the early work of Boichi, who gave the world Sun Ken Rock, Origin, and Dr Stone (all of which are much better) this title might prove to be an enjoyable but shallow distraction.
