I'll start this second chapter off with a "Thank you". Thanks to everyone who has supported us, helped us, to everyone who was there until the wee hours of the morning so that this manga might come true, just for you, 100% fresh and ready to be devoured.

This month heralds a few new arrivals, beginning with chapter 2, which I hope you'll enjoy just as much as the first, if not more so.

You'll also find an RSS feed in the Gadgets & Accessories section that lets you keep track of the site's updates, as well as each new instalment [ which, you may recall, arrives on the first of every month ].

In addition to all this, you'll all have noticed a new button in the menu on the left, which leads to none other than the Credits page, where you'll get to learn a little bit about the EAT IT FRESH! team.

I'd also like to apologize to our friends from the Land of the Rising Sun for not having the japanese translation ready on time. Unfortunately, our dear translator Yuuu is currently unavailable until further notice. But we promise to get the japanese version online as quickly as possible!

Now that all's been said...

Itadakimasu !

It all started one rainy January evening in a small Japanese restaurant, on Paris' own boulevard Sébastopol.

I was enjoying some delicious California Maki with Paka, chatting about this and that, when a brilliant idea suddenly popped out of my head: "Fay, fwat fiff fee fadan offwine ffanga?" After some swallowing it sounded more like this: "Hey, what if we made an online manga?"

We lost no time and began the search for a killer scenario with out-of-this-world characters. Once Paka had gently brushed aside my ideas of a zombie Santa Claus and other improbable characters, we decided on EAT IT FRESH!

Since that evening meal, things have happened very quickly. After two months of hard work, tears, nervous laughter and joy, we now bring you the first chapter of EAT IT FRESH!

Enjoy your meal!
