Could someone please spoil something for me? I haven't gotten caught up, and I'm not sure if I want to after reading all these comments. Is there romance or a start to romance in the newer chapters? Hopefully it's just mentioned, but nothing new starting? Please, and thank you.

Hi!
So, yes there is a romance going on right now, but its not painful to watch and read and its quite homorous hence this is Black Haze, so please don't be afraid of "romance", because it is funny. I honestly say you should give it a shot. I guess its almost over, and its only developing the storyline so far. I hope this helps.

I don't know why I've never read this before, but this manga was really good. It was a pleasant surprising mix of mystery, murder, comedy, and so on. Chapter 2 and the main twins story were really sad and dark. Wow.
Also, -SPOILER-
I think it would have been great if they ended it with Kuroba actually dying. It would have been a bittersweet ending, which would have fit better imo.

Such a cute story. Of course, the recipes aren't anything new, but it's still MC's character design is really adorable. Only major problem I had is with the art sometimes. http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mister_ajikko/mf/a04d7c089667056f/Vol5_Ch40/pg-17/ , for example, looks really unappealing to me (like fried maggots, sorry not sorry). Otherwise, really cute story. Also, really surprised the Aji guy didn't help further MC's career at the start. This is more chill/relax with less drama than other cooking mangas. It's a nice change.
I really loved this manga when it first came out, but now I feel like things are lacking. This is basically a whole fan-service manga with an OP protagonist. The explanations are way too drawn-out that it can basically turn away a reader. I'm pretty sure there's an unspoken rule of the amount of text per speech bubble. lol. It's all a terrible cliche with OP hero and some quest. Just a warning for others who are considering reading this for the action and what not.
*was talking about that one monologue Zehald was having.
I found a that the best place to end without worries was after that really big battle with the water nation around ch 25
that way its an open-close ending where I'm satisfied reading it and I can imagine more if I want
