While you might not want to take recipe advice from this, I figured a manga about a ramen shop run by a cat ~~who is pretty bad at making ramen~~ was both cracky enough for s_d and good enough for food week. Even if it's a little late for the latter.

Read from top to bottom for columns and from right to left overal.

Though it gets better, since a ramen shop that's always seen as empty is apparently too much for one cat, there's a few workers in the shop. Two cats.

And this guy.

Though the best part(and only reason I bothered to look for the manga/flash anime, which is also quite magnificent), there's a live-action movie.

It was weird in a good way.

	That's just awesome. Especially the live action video. Unfortunately, I do not speak Japanese... which leaves me with a major question: What was with the "real" cat? Was she supposed to represent a romantic interest or something? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Do you mean the one who was ~~clearly eating something out of his mouth~~ kissing him? That was part of a cameo in the middle featuring a couple of Japan's 'famous' cats. The one in the hat was Tama-chan and the other two where Karin & Kurin. At one point when meeting the twins, Taisho starts to hit on them and that leads to the rather wtf kiss but it didn't go beyond the cameo.

If you mean the stuffed cat the girl was holding, that was treated as a kind of funny 'is it the cat or the girl that he likes?' joke.

	Yeah, when I said "real" I was refering to live action, not stuffed, cat. And ok, so it was cameo for a celebrity kitty (and thusly, not a bizarre romance). Cool. My curiosity is satisfied. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	In Japan, is Maru, the Cat who Likes Boxes famous? http://boingboing.net/2008/11/08/magu-the-cat.html Or what about Oolong the rabbit? Did he have any actual measure of fame? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The comic strip is cute. The live-action ... thing ... is fifty different kinds of creepy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Heh, if you think that's creepy you should see the guy's other movies. ;p (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I KNOW! It's not quite as bad as the scenes with Luna from the live action Sailor Moon series, which had me screaming "BURN IT KILL IT TO DEATH WITH FIRE" every few minutes, but STILL. ...I must suggest this movie to the heads of my anime club for our annual Hurt Night. (Reply to this) (Parent)
