Well I just powered through all of this. The title caught my eye, but man this is nothing like Yakitate Japan. I should know because I just reread that and man that series went to hell after the Monaco cup ended.

I was kind of expecting a punchline while flipping through that, and it didn't really deliver.

I'm betting that, after finally winning a competition with Erina to make her admit his food tastes good, he proceeds to use her divine tongue solely to taste all the random poo poo he comes up with. What I'm saying is that this manga will end exactly the way it began.

I love how the guy we barely know anything about (beyond "surprisingly good", since he was one of the first to get accepted into the tournament) also happens to have a legion of glasses wearing fans. Is his entire gimmick going to be seemingly plain food that turns out to have an amazing twist?

Two more chapters to go until the main event. I like how all you have to do to make a stereotypical nerd character look awesome is not make their glasses mask their eyes.

I like how for Alice, the writer just threw up his hands and went "yeah I dunno it's good".  Megumi has probably gotten more focus than any other character in the series at this point. She may as well be the actual main character.

Man one of the first reactions we ever saw in Yakitate was a guy bending his body into the shape of a cresecent moon. They were pretty much always literal.

After the Monaco Cup, Yakitate descended into an endless hell of repeating the exact same story over and over again, which just made all of the characters kind of insufferable. Then, for the final arc, it crossed the line between wacky and stupid, which is admittedly quite the feat. Whenever I feel like rereading it, I just stop after Monaco and pretend everyone went on to be incredibly successful bakers. It's much better than watching Kawachi turn into what he did.

So are Souma and Tadokoro going to be testing the quality of the produce? Or is Isshiki just trolling and they're going to be the janitors?

I guess Souma can just do anything if it's slightly related to food. Also that was incredibly nostalgic if only because gyoza was one of the first things I learned to make.

Based on the esteemed source of "my arm", I can confirm that asians do in fact have hair on their arms. Not much though.

Most of the time it does, but Tadokoro went second and still got her rear end kicked against that graduate.

I kind of laughed when the translation (and presumably the original text) used the french word for juice. It's just juice! Anyways that looked pretty good, but I dunno it seems kind of overly fancy. Admittedly they pointed out that bento can be really fancy now, but I expect Souma to go for the full traditional spirit. And I'll probably like that more.

It pretty much doesn't get more "yo this is the intended pairing!" than a girl with a divine sense of taste and a guy who loves loving around making crazy flavors.

The scare quotes are getting hilarious now that I'm actually looking for them. Oh no, not "dried tuna"! Like I thought, Souma's dish seems way more convenient. It cooks itself for you!

Well it makes sense. Most of the students have their specialties, so of course they approach any problems with the stuff they're most familiar with. Souma on the other hand comes from a special-of-the-day diner, where it's all about making something new that both fits the theme and satisfies the customer. I think the closest competitor in terms of scope would probably be Erina, if only because "gourmet food" is really broad.

Souma needs a massive victory if he really wants to get the ball rolling on his plan to be number one too.

I'm just waiting for the chapter where Souma reveals his ~secret blend of spices passed down by his family across generations of cooking~. It's salt and pepper.

The current best cook in the manga is someone who specifically incorporates techniques from all over the world, so I don't think they'll go that route.

Looking at the stuff that gets emphasized, I'm pretty sure this manga assumes the reader knows absolutely zilch about cooking. I cracked opened and separated the whites from the yolk by using the egg shell! Then I beat the yolk with a spoon and added seasoning! After I heated up and oiled my pan, I poured the mixture in and waited! Voila: œufs brouillés

Man it's a burger contest. I'd be amazed if the spice guy didn't win, so I was expecting secretary girl to pull out something really gimmicky. I wasn't disappointed.
