Food Wars! , or the "Food Wars!" of Japan

Souma going feeding sadist is probably one of the things I enjoy about this xD.

Another solid chapter, albeit with a standard plot/chracters, which isn't a bad thing.

I'm just crossing my fingers hoping this manga won't take a harem route in the future.

We all know what's coming.

[Darker]

I'm just crossing my fingers hoping this manga won't take a harem route in the future.

Judging by the amount of female characters from chapter 4, relatively to the male.

I can predict that, at some point of this series, there will be at least 4-5 girls who fall for Soma

Dude is a badass, and his skills make girls (and guys) have orgasm by eating his food.

Sorry bro, he's pretty much guaranteed to have a small army of girls hungry for his co....oking.

[Gizmo]

Yeah...I'd probably love the guy if I had his cooking too. (Wonder if the series has enough guts to go gay guy route? I mean a guy as part of the harem, not Soma as gay. That'd be a first in a shonen harem for me). Just gotta adjust is all.

Luckily Soma is very enjoyable and gives off such a good shonen protagonist vibe.

Chapter 5 is out.

LMAO this series is refreshingly hilarious

[RDarren]

I love their tandem. Still no harem thing yet, though. And yeah, Souma really is Luffy in a cooking manga.

Reminds me of yakitate japan

Reminds me of yakitate japan

I want to thank you for mentioning this. This manga is SO much fun!

[Gokuyuske]

Yakitate is the best cooking manga in my opinion. Sure it totally goes off the deep end after and during the Monaco arc but I think it has a great combination of absurdity and seriousness. The characters are decent, the plot is ludicrous but enjoyable and it's somehow all about BREAD.

[maxterdexter]

Well, this year I broke my rule of "not before chapter 100" with AssClass, Barrage and this one.

It's the down to earth version of Toriko, with actual real food. Let's see how it goes.

The raw and trans for chapter 6 is out.

Spoiler:

I've been pretty much reading Yakitate constantly these past few nights, and yet this chapter's reactions still got a laugh out of me. I complained about turning the ecchi-fanservice down a bit for feeling "perverted", but it really gives the manga its own unique identity. It seems wrong now to ask for that. And it's funny.

Plus the art is really pretty. Those detailed background shots in the beginning of the chapter were really nice.

Please Shonen Jump. Keep this one around.

[Maxy B]

Chapter 6 was as solid as any before it. Which seems like a redundant statement, but man, Saeki's art's been working crazy overtime on keeping this looking as good as possible, huh

Spoiler:

Also, the old lady Fumio's reaction is easily in my top three now, along with the honey and gorilla/knee-buckler one

Chapter 6 is out.

Spoiler:

I realize I seem to nitpick something each time I post here, but I do hope this series succeeds. With the set up, this series can last awhile if the writer knows how to utilize the material well.

Hopefully next chapter starts a new arc or at least introduces new rivals/fun characters. A chapter of just Soma cooking something and having someone realizing how special his cooking is can only happen so many times before it gets stale (though I'm still enjoying it).

That ending scene though was pretty funny. Feel so bad for her.

[Somewhere]

So far, I want this series to survive.

....and be added to SJA when it expands. Sure, the orgasms probably mean that it's not happening, but a SJA subscriber can dream, right?

[maxterdexter]

Eh, shonen protagonist have to get a few early easy wins before the challenge starts, besides, next week is the introduction to the roomates.

[Aohige_AP]

Ahahaha, I cracked up at the
"I got some 'golden colored tea'!" "Yay! golden colored tea!"

Underground brewing in a dorm FTW.

[DarthAsthma]

This chapter gave me major university vibes for various reasons.

Spoiler:

Also did I get that right that erina isn't number one but ten? Well when I think about it's somewhat obvious. Wouldn't be the top school if they don't have any students that could beat her when she haven't even attended it.
