As the saying goes, the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and that couldn’t be truer for today’s illustrations! On pixiv, drawings of characters enjoying their food are sometimes tagged #いっぱい食べる君が好き (ippai taberu kimi ga suki, lit. “I love that you eat a lot”). Indeed, one look at their face is enough to tell you how utterly content these characters are, and their smiles are sure to delight the people who cooked for them too!

Is food one of your love languages, and if so, which do you enjoy more: cooking or eating?
