From the award-winning creator of Bread Thief (パンどろぼう) comes an all-new, charming character: Panda no Osaji!

In Panda no Osaji and the Fry-Panda (パンダのおさじとフライパンダ), Chef Kuu has lost the joy of cooking. One day, he stumbles upon a mysterious tool at a peculiar panda shop: the Fry-Panda. Inside, he discovers the tiny panda named Osaji. By chanting a magical spell and opening the Fry-Panda lid, ordinary meals transform into whimsical panda-themed dishes!

But the Fry-Panda comes with one important rule—and breaking it might lead to unexpected chaos. With Osaji’s guidance, Chef Kuu rediscovers the fun of cooking, learning that creativity and a touch of magic can bring happiness back into the kitchen.

This imaginative, humorous picture book is filled with delightful illustrations and lovable characters that capture the hearts of children and adults alike. A perfect pick for fans of Keiko Shibata’s Bread Thief series, it combines laughter, magic, and the irresistible charm of pandas.
