Yeah like everything going on right now in this Manga is extremely my poo poo.

The ridiculous exams are what the main draw of this manga should be. Not the tournaments. That those exist at all is unfortunate.

i hope the new villain has more personality than "good chef but a bit of a pedophile"

maybe since he looks the same as soma he could put soma in a bin again and take his place in the exam with nobody the wiser

Hell yeah. Ridiculous cooking challenges are, even (just a bit more anyway) more than the boobs, what I read this series for.

"Serve a buffet" and "win at festival food stall-ing" are infinitely more interesting and fun to read/watch than "you are both insanely good chefs but because this person did this one thing slightly better so they win" which is what all the food battles at this point are since everyone is so good at cooking.

The sheer drop in quality between those pages pretty much encapsulated the best and worst parts of this manga.

Asahi doesn’t loving need to be here with his ominous bullshit

There’s a lot wrong with Asahi but this isn't one of them, I doubt he’s more than a year older than Tsukasa. He’s still a rapey creep though.

Exactly, bring on the insane hell school challenges. The fact that characters can adjust their plan on the fly puts it massively head and shoulders over dish tastings that are essentially some single shot pistols at dawn poo poo every single one and nothing else

No no no, running a seaside stand and having to cook like crazy to make nine thousand dollars a day is good cooking!

That last page means we're going back to dumb cooking.

There's an even chance that instead of going for a new batch of Edgy villains, it'll take a left turn into comedy where they're also edgy villains, but extremely dorky weirdos at the same time.

That would actually own. We have Masked Chinese Guile, Lounging Lout, Creepy Hovering Eyeglasses, Burly Butler, and Chainsaw Miniskirt Nazi; and they're even hanging out in what looks like to be a ruined mansion. If it turns out they're actually a bunch of idiots whose only redeeming quality is that they can cook quite well, I could very well be onboard with this.

On another note though, I guess this is what, the second time Souma has shown anything resembling attraction to a girl?

The first being Hisako in her apron, ofc

E: v maybe they combine, One Piece style to become a super cook? v

That's what I'm feeling. Especially considering the first Cuisinier Noir we've met was a giant dork.

And Asahi too.

I dunno, Erina not being drugged, dragged into some sort of Kung Fu tower where lie the misfit manga character plagerisms and made a damsel in destress would’ve been a good opening gambit.

I just want slice of life internships and for the cast to actually get to spend time with one another

E: Like it is actually really funny to me that the series gives me exactly what I want only to throw it out in the last two pages two chapters in a row
