A popular cuisine-themed comic series is now trending on social media — and winning the hearts of those who know Nagoya.

In a recent installment of "Ichinichi Gaishutsuroku Hancho" ("Squad Leader's One-Day Leave"), the serial comic by Tensei Hagiwara, released Oct. 30, the main character visits Nagoya and experiences the city's unique food culture and customs.

The character cannot quite describe what he feels about Nagoya, saying, "There's something out of place."
