Mercenary Group Cook (Youheidan no Ryouriban; 傭兵団の料理番) is a refreshing isekai fantasy manga/light novel that blends cooking, adventure, and camaraderie. The story follows Azuma Shuri, a young man who dreams of becoming a chef, as he is transported to another world and recruited by Gungrave, the leader of a ragtag mercenary corps. Initially coming on as an odd-job helper, Shuri uses his culinary talents to transform the mercenaries’ meager meals: through each stew, roast, and cleverly prepared dish he not only wins their praise, but also builds trust, forges friendships, and slowly carves out a place for himself inside the group. Over time, Shuri’s cooking becomes more than just sustenance—it becomes a bridge connecting soldiers with differing personalities, easing hard emotions, and even helping the group in surprising ways through inventions and strategy. Mercenary Group Cook is a heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy that explores how kindness (even in something as humble as food) and persistence can reshape not only one’s destiny, but also the lives of those around.
