I am now all caught up with Shokugeki no Soma also know as food wars. It's basically a sports manga but instead of a sports the high schoolers face each other in cooking competitions (the version of which they bet something is called a Shokugenki). I first started watched the anime (which is coming out when I write this) which I thoroughly enjoyed and then after I got into manga decided to stop watching the anime and to just read the manga. That said, the anime is quite awesome with excellent music, visuals, and adaptation of what happens when people eat tasty food. Even so, having to wait a whole week to learnt what happens next is pretty annoying. Food Wars is a manga with a great sense of momentum meaning the vast majority of the time I wanted to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. I want to see how the character's deal with the situation, I wanted to see who will win the cooking competitions which is not clear and often quite surprising. I wanted to see what dish is going to be made, and I wanted to see what kinds of crazy analogies the judges use to describe the dish. It's all very enjoyable, filled with a great sense of competition especially coming from the battle analogies and the contrast threat of expulsion (which is the equivalent of death in this manga). It's also occasionally laugh out loud funny especially when it breaks the forth wall like when their is an intense ping pong match and there are boxing that says remember, this is actually a cooking manga. It was a awesome read and I look foreword to future chapters. 10/10.
