Koufuku Graffiti (Happy Cooking Graffiti) is a 4koma manga series by Makoto Kawai. It began serialization in March 2012 in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine and to date has a total of 3 compiled volumes, with the third releasing on March 27.
Here is a synopsis of the series from MAL:
Ryo, a junior high school student, lives alone. She cooks well and builds warm relations with everyone through her cuisine. There will be 4-frames full of minute and accurate depictions of cooking and cuisine, as well as appetizing dining scenes, with tantalizing eroticism during meal time.
When lonely, why not eat rice and be warm together?
The Koufuku Graffiti anime will be airing from January 8 on TBS at 23:46am (effectively January 9th 1:46am), followed by MBS, CBC and BS-TBS, during the Winter 2014/2015 anime season. Further information about the anime will release soon.
