• While Amazon and other sites list the Manga Cookbook w/ Bento Box for a February release, it was previously available online from at least two sites — and regardless of current availability elsewhere, the publisher will be more than happy to sell you one from their own store
  [you can get the cookbook with a bento or a sushi kit, or by itself, or either kit a la carte. I’m more of a Mr. Bento kind of guy but I think the bento box offered with the Manga Cookbook would be ideal for the book’s target audience]
