Shun Saeki

Hello Fellow Readers,

Today I bring you The manga Food Wars. The main character, Soma, goal is to one day beat his father at cooking. His plans were to train & work in his father's kitchen. His dad has other plans. Now Soma is enrolled in the most prestige cooking school in Japan where only lot of the Students graduate. Will Soma graduate and finally win against his father or will he be expelled before he even gets to start?

My husband loves this anime, but honestly I don't watch too much TV. but when I saw the
that there was an opportunity to read the manga, I jumped at it. Soma is great, equal parts cocky badass, and nice guy. I really love the cast of characters that get introduced, there's quite a few to name so I won't do that but each are unique and fun. Honestly, I didn't know what to think at first. How is a manga about cooking supposed to be intense and exciting? I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was. Somehow, this manga was exciting, intense & funny, while also making me hungry as well.

I feel like the Author actually knows what they are talking about to. I really want to try to cook one of the dishes the way they are described in this manga because it sounds so legit. They way convey cooking was pretty great and I was surprised that I like the manga so much considering what it’s about.

The illustrations were great too. Saeki was able to convey the seriousness of each situation but also through in humor as well. Plus, the food looked mouthwatering. Overall, a pleasant, humorous Manga that somehow makes cooking more intense than an episode of Dragonball Z, just don’t read this on an empty stomach or else.

What a disappointing offering for the penultimate serving of the series. The final villain and the ultimate big bad are even worse than the one from the previous story arc.

Half or more of this book is given over to the raving of Soma's final rival, Asahi Saiba, a young man who was once an apprentice to Soma's father. All he does is talk about the knives he has taken from defeated rivals and how he likes to cross them and rub them against each other and talk about how good it feels to rub the knives against each other and how everyone should rub their knives together because it feels so good to cross knives and wouldn't it be good to have Soma's knife to fondle and cross with the knives he has taken from Soma's father and best friend because their knives are so good but are now Saiba's to do with as he wants just like soon Soma's pathetic little knife will be and . . . and . . . and . . . ahhhhhhhhhhh . . .

I think there's symbolism here somewhere?… (mais)
