Hunting, cooking, and eating all kinds of magical beasts, the world is truly in a great age of cooking! It has been more than three hundred years since the birth of the "hunter-ruler," a fusion of the concepts of hunting and cooking. Ren, once a promising young man from a family of heroes, is now branded as a useless person for one reason or another, and by chance he befriended Lucy, a girl who aspired to become the world's best hunter and chef. She was a student at the prestigious Kruel Academy of Monster and Beast Science, and despite her earnest nature, she was ridiculed as a failure because of the enormous amount of magical power that she couldn't control. One day, Lucy learned of her partner's tragic past, and she began to develop her talents under Len's guidance. This is the world's most delicious tale of a hero spun between a boy and a girl.

2. Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi
Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan, so when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs.
On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom... "Ah, these people are the kind to try and use the Hero," he realized, and immediately left to make his own way in this other world. The only thing Mukouda can rely on is his unique skill: the "Online Supermarket," a skill that allows him to buy modern goods in a fantasy world. It's useless for combat, but if he plays his cards right, he could lead a comfortable life, maybe? At least, that's what Mukouda thinks, but it turns out modern food bought with this skill has some absurd effects!
What happens when Mukouda introduces ridiculously tasty modern cooking to a fantasy world like this? He gets some ridiculous repeat customers begging for more...!
