Koufuku Graffiti (Happy Cooking Graffiti) is a manga series by Makoto Kawai. It began in March 2012 in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine and has a total of 3 compiled volumes as of November 2014. The Koufuku Graffiti anime will air on January 8th, 2015 during the Winter 2015 anime season. Additional information about the series will be released in the weeks leading up to the anime’s premiere.
Koufuku Graffiti synopsis from Haruhichan:
The story follows Ryou, a middle school girl who lives by herself. She has a knack for cooking and makes friendships with everyone through her food. The cooking manga is “full of detailed cuisine art to whet the appetite and slightly erotic meal scenes.” The “koufuku” in the title is a wordplay on two Japanese homonyms—one which means “happiness,” and another that means “appetite.”
