Oh, the warm fuzzies I get just thinking about 'Extra Rice Extra Love'! It's one of those manga that leaves you craving more, like a second helping of your favorite comfort food. From what I've gathered after digging through forums and publisher announcements, there hasn't been any official confirmation of a sequel yet. The original wrapped up pretty neatly, but the author left just enough emotional crumbs—like the protagonist's evolving relationship with their family—that could absolutely fuel another volume.
That said, the mangaka has been active with other projects lately, so it might be a waiting game. I've seen creators circle back to older works after years (look at 'Fruits Basket' getting a reboot!), so I'm keeping my rice bowl half-full with hope. Until then, I recommend filling the void with similar food-and-heart manga like 'Sweetness & Lightning' or 'What Did You Eat Yesterday?'—they hit that same cozy spot.
Checking my usual sources—Dex, manga subreddits, even the publisher's newsletter—'Extra Rice Extra Love' still shows as a completed series with no sequel. But here's the thing: the final chapter left the door slightly ajar when the main character found their mom's old recipe journal with unfamiliar dishes. Classic sequel bait!
Personally, I'd kill for a continuation where they explore those recipes while navigating adulthood. The art style made every meal look so visceral that I actually learned to cook a few dishes from it. If you're jonesing for that same mix of culinary detail and family warmth, 'Yakumo-san wa Edzuke ga Shitai' has similar vibes while we wait (and pray) for more rice-filled love.
I've been low-key stalking the author's social media for sequel hints. The cultural depth in how they portrayed food as love language was chef's kiss, and fans are definitely hungry for more. While no sequel's announced, I noticed Volume 3's afterword had this vague line about 'more stories simmering,' which fandom took as a teaser.
What's interesting is how the manga's premise—a struggling restaurant inheriting grandma's recipes—could easily expand into spin-offs too. Imagine a prequel about the grandmother's youth, or side stories about the quirky regular customers! The foodie manga scene is booming right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if publishers greenlight more content. Pro tip: follow the artist's Pixiv—they sometimes drop bonus sketches that feel like mini-epilogues.

When I'm taking Mom and Dad to experience the cable car ride, an infinite display of fireworks suddenly bursts from the bottom of the mountain. Soon, they form a sentence in the air.
"Our romance will never fade away, even if we die. Yvonne Shaw, my heart belongs to you always."
Right away, I realize that my husband, Henry Glover, has specifically prepared the fireworks display just to please his childhood sweetheart, Yvonne Shaw.
Under the powerful attacks of the fireworks, the cable lines begin to shake and tremble violently to the point they are about to snap.
My fingers tighten around my phone so much that they've turned white. I scream into the speaker, "Henry Glover, have you gone nuts? Stop it! Mom and Dad are still in the cable car!"
But he merely chortles in return. I can hear Yvonne's delicate voice egging him on in the background.
"Why should I stop? When Yvonne's parents were lying in the ICU and waiting for help three years ago, you screwed up their life-saving surgery despite the fact that you never failed a surgery before!
"Today, I want you to have a taste of what it feels like to lose your loved ones as well!"
After that, the bodyguards' responses echo from the other end of the line.
Henry orders, "Add another huge batch of fireworks and aim them at the cable car. Just keep firing at it!"
Yvonne's titters are like poisoned honey. She continues egging on Henry.
"You're amazing, darling! Make those two bastards turn to ash!"
The cable car sinks all of a sudden. Mom and Dad are so frightened that their complexions turn deathly pale.
With bloodshot eyes, I use all of my strength in roaring at my phone.
"Henry Glover, your own parents are the ones trapped inside the cable car right now!"
I was so invested in 'Love More' that I immediately went digging for more content after finishing it! From what I've gathered, there isn't a direct sequel or spin-off, but the creator did drop a few bonus chapters that explore side characters' stories. These felt like little gifts to fans—especially the one about the café owner’s backstory, which added so much depth to the world.
That said, I stumbled across a webcomic by the same artist called 'Whispers of Summer,' and while it’s not connected plot-wise, the vibes are eerily similar. Soft watercolor aesthetics, slow-burn relationships—it’s like spiritual sibling material. If you loved the emotional tone of 'Love More,' this might scratch that itch while we hope for an official follow-up.
