This was a fsteak.

I'm hoping one of the matches will be something like base common. A match around salt, or honey. Or even better, cooking competition where you're forced to work in the confines of a cheap apartment kitchenette.

Been a bit curious about something for a while: the thread sure seems to love Megumi. I don't have anything against her character but she's not my personal favorite or anything. What is it about her everybody likes?

Not answering for everybody, but I think that a lot of her charm is that she seems fairly down to earth. Like a straight man, but instead of being all shouty, she just reacts with "Oh god!" :cry:. And that's fairly cute.

Honestly, and while I do like Rindou and Alice, my favorite character is Hisako, if only because she kinda evolves from being Erina's Yes-Girl to try and instead stand alongside her as an equal. Also, she has one of if not THE OUTRIGHT BEST chapter cover.

Hisako is definitely in my top 3, she's gotten some good development in a relatively small span of time and I like her dynamic with Souma where they're buds with a mutual respect for one another as opposed to, say, Ikumi's whole thing or Megumi feeling like Souma's sidekick a bit too much.

Also while I'm thinking about it, am I crazy or are the girls more interesting than the guys in this series? Of the most prominent they've either had fairly solid character arcs (Megumi, Erina, Hisako) or were perfect to begin with (Alice, Rindou).

Compare Souma, Hayama, or Kurokiba, they've all barely changed and Hayama/Kurokiba are a little lacking, it feels like (Souma meanwhile is kind of oversaturated right now, I wonder if that's why he placed 4th in the popularity poll?).

Best boy is Takumi Aldini (I can't help it, I like my shonen rivals to be dorky and adorable) and Kurokiba is only interesting when he's in :black101:-mode. Best man is Dojima. Mimasaka is kinda like Alice and Rindou in that he's wacky/goofy and that's why you can't help but love him. But like those two, he works better in small-ish doses.

I didn't forget him at all but he's also had like 3 proper appearances in this entire series and one of them was pretty minor

E: which is good because he shines in small doses
