History Manga / KoufukuGraffiti

* LethalChef: While in the library in episode 4, Ryou is told her grandmother used to borrow a lot of cookbooks from there. She calls her aunt, who tells her that her grandmother used to actually be a lousy cook while raising her and Ryou's mother. She is then told that her grandmother only seriously started learning how to cook after she started to watch Ryou more.

* BigEater: Kirin, despite her petite body.
--> '''Ryou, on Kirin's first meal at her place''': I wonder if this is what eating competitions look like...
** The entire main trio when the food is good enough. See episode 3. Special mention goes to Shiina, who suggests going out for pancakes or crepes after eating about 20 kinds of rice omelette for "breakfast."

* GenderBlenderName: Ryou, even with the kanji used in the series, isn't a name one would usually associate with a girl.

* MinorLivingAlone: Ryou is an quintessential example and was a major conflict of the story.
* NoNameGiven: We still don't know Shiina's given name.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Kirin is quite short and is commonly mistaken to be an elementary schooler.

* ParentalAbandonment: Ryou's parents have been working overseas since she was eight.

* RaisedByGrandparents: After her parents' departure, Ryou was brought up by her grandmother until the latter's recent death.

* SupremeChef: Ryou; at one point Kirin wondered if it'd be better Ryou to take up catering instead of art.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Shiina ''absolutely'' can't be splashed by rain; any amount would make her sick for a whole week. This is why she was wearing a whole hazmat gear when she's "risking it" to the cram school in chapter 6.

* OrgasmicallyDelicious: OnceAnEpisode. One major draw of this series.

* {{Yonkoma}}: {{Enforced|trope}}; it's an non-''Forward Kirara'' series after all.

* AlliterativeTitle: Creator/{{Crunchyroll}}'s title ''Gourmet Girl Graffiti''.

* UnnamedParent: No ''parents'' were named, with the exception of Kirin's mother (and Ryou's aunt), Aki.

* UnnamedParent: No ''parents'' were named.

Ryuu Machiko is the quintessential MinorLivingAlone. Her parents left her on a business trip when she was eight, entrusting her to her grandmother. But after Ryuu's grandmother's recent death, she has been living and cooking on her own, and compares herself unfavourably to grandmother's cooking. It's at this time her cousin Kirin Morino started staying in her apartment during weekends to attend the same art-stream CramSchool Ryuu attend, and later Shiina, another Cram Schoolmate, also joins in. How does this help with Ryuu's loneliness--and cooking?

* CramSchool: Ryuu, Kirin and Shiina all goes to one to prepare for art school entrance. In fact, this is how they knew each other.

%%* PunBasedTitle: "Koufuku" can also mean "joy."
* RaisedByGrandparents: After her parents' departure, Ryuu was brought up by her grandmother until the latter's recent death.
* SchoolgirlSeries: {{Zigzagged|trope}}. {{Averted|trope}} before chapter 14 as the main cast were in different schools, but played straight thereafter [[spoiler:as they were admitted to the high school, and Kirin moved in with Ryuu.]]

* SupremeChef: Ryuu; at one point Kirin wondered if it'd be better Ryuu to take up catering instead of art.
