Includes over 50 stylish illustrations by Natsume Ono. ◆ In various "images" from manga, anime, movies, dramas, and commercials, similar food expressions – "stereotypical foods" – often appear. There seems to be a certain law at work, and there is a meaning behind it. This is a collection of insightful essays in which confectionery researcher Rika Fukuda explains the hidden truths and meanings of such "stereotypical foods" in a fun and clear way! ・Why are bribes hidden in boxes of sweets? ・Why do the most beautiful women never eat anything? ・Why is it always the fruit vendor who gets knocked over in car chases? ・Why is the water of death always too late? ・Why is it that if you drink sake around a bonfire, you're comrades? ・Why do escape scenes always run through the kitchen? ……The answers are all in this book. ◆ RHYMESTER's Utamaru (Rapper/Radio Personality) raves!! ＜Once you know "Food Theory," you won't be able to help but re-experience all kinds of works, past and present, from that perspective – because this is a story technique that is directly connected to human instincts, and is actually the most fundamental. In other words, it's groundbreaking and universal. I think this is when you use "must-read!"＞
