I was waiting to start the manga after the conclusion of the first season of the anime but when they postponed the last episode, I said "WTF.. I am not gonna wait another week!!"

That was just because how amazing the anime was. And the Shokugeki no Soma manga doesn't disappoint in the least bit. Everything in the manga is just as amazing as it was in the anime(Well, I would still prefer watching anime to manga).

What makes Sholugeki no Soma manga such a success is that it has just the right amount of humor which is balanced well by the intense moments during the food battles, supported by a slight amount of ecchi to please the lusty readers.

Story - 9.5/10

The story to say in one word is "unique". Yea, students participating in school competition is nothing new but what makes the plot of SnS unique is that it's all about food yet the battles are just as thrilling as those flashy shounen, if not more. Its probably the best manga to come out in quite a while(OP fans, dont kill me). The story simply sucks you into the world of food porn that is Shokugeki no Soma.

Art - 10/10

The art of this manga is simply brilliant. The character designs are unique, the food is drawn excellently and it simply entrances you.

Character - 9.5/10

The characters are one of the strong point of this manga. What makes Shokugeki no Soma so much more interesting and stand out is the different types of characters that are involved. The cast is massive as you would expect from such a manga but they are all different. So many of them coming from different countries just makes it even more interesting to see their interactions.

Enjoyment - 10/10

I finished the entire manga in 1 day. I dont think I need to tell you how much I enjoyed it since if it wasnt so interesting and amazing, one wouldnt be able to read so many chapters in one go without skipping anything.

Overall - 10/10

It's a manga I recommend to everyone. More so since there aren't a of good mangas that even give Shokugeki no Soma a challenge right now. Definitely try it out. You could watch the first season of the anime and start from chapter 60 from the manga.
