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.

*I watched the anime first.

*I am drooling.

*I will definitely make the dishes here.

*I've already made the Yukihira-Style Mackerel Burger.

*These over-the-top reactions are like "how can I get away with nakedness and orgasmic expressions without it being hentai". ( )

Soma Yukihira is a young chef who only wants to run the family restaurant...and to finally out cook his old man. Of course, that'll only work if he leaves the nest to learn new techniques. As such, dad sends him to culinary school...the super elite, #1 culinary school in the world where only 1% of the students graduate. Good luck Soma!

A delightful story with plenty of laughs and recipes you can try at home. The one downside is...it's got a LOT of fan service...and partial nudity. Seriously, the third page could be labeled as tentacle hentai.

Awkward food-gasms aside, it's really an amazing series. ( )

Review I keep hearing about how good this series is so now that I've checked it out I can agree. Yes, strange as typical with Manga but I'm ready dig in get through this series and see how it progresses. ( )
