Shokugeki no Souma

Then again, Souma's been number 2 to his dad so maybe his specialty IS being the set-up.

New chapter is up...and I have to say, did *not* expect Souma to pull what he did.

And that last scene...*sweating* I'm really f***ing curious what he did, I will not lie. This wait is going to be murder to me...

New chapter is up in Mangastream.

I really wasn't expecting that, not to mention that callback to Souma's epic dish in the first chapter. Geez, Azami even had the "Are you mocking me?" expression going full bore, but he still had to acknowledge that it was great...even if it is supposed to be an appetizer.

Well, Erina? Do you have what it takes to answer Souma's challenge? Let's find out.

Well, Souma definitely lit a fire under Erina's ass, and Azami is being a jackass, having already decided that Erina is going to fail, because Souma's appetizer was apparently horrible.

I very much would *love* to see Azami's smug get burned off his face next chapter.

It should happen but again, this is the writer who geared the finals of the Autumn elections to be the moment of Souma's victory only to go "Lol, rival must win" without anything to actually provably justify it.

If there was someone who could make a main course to go with Souma's appetizer, it's fucking Off-panel McWondertits.

New chapter is up!

The madman went and actually did it! You made Erina Nakiri into a likeable character!

Oh and the pay off to a series long running gag to boot. NBD

Yeah, did NOT see squid and peanutbutter combo coming at all. That was rather amusing experience.

The fact that Azami even dismissed the dish out of hand, only to have his daughter openly mock him for it, was amazing for me to see.

Let's see how the judges respond, since the incomplete version was enough to get the 1st and 2nd Seat to acknowledge Erina's dish.

Erina has been likeable for awhile. Pretty much ever since she got to the Polar Star Dorm and we got to see some of her past.

This Erina was just epic. Trolling everyone with Squid and Peanut Butter was awesome. Mocking her father is huge character development for her.

Azami isn't doing a damn thing, other than lament how his daughter has "sullied" herself. Still holding that torch for Jouchirou, it seems.

...makes me wonder is Souma is either amused or annoyed that Erina copied his dish from his school application test. That was a nice call back.

I think we all get that feeling there.

And damn, froop, you definitely picked up that phone. This whole chapter was pretty much a never ending "blessing" session.

My favorite was the implication that he couldn't contain the pulse due to how delicious it was.

....seriously, what is this even?

I mean, where is there to go with this anymore?

If I had to guess, probably towards a Tootsuki vs rival schools arc as the next major thing. If there are any other institutions in Japan or abroad that might want to have a go at Tootsuki, I could see them smelling blood in the water right now and going for it. Senzaemon being deposed by his own student council might have been cause enough, but this latest development takes the cake in that respect.

It's a time skip so it looks like we're not heading towards a sudden "we've been getting too many complaints about the nudity, you're fired" ending.

(This is a joke, in reference to how Kenichi just... ended out of the fucking blue.)
 

BtML

Yeah, Kenichi's ending was definitely rushed, and it ended up worse for it in my opinion.

Still, I have no problems with this so far. Though it seems Erina's position as the new Headmaster isn't fully secured yet, if what she's saying is true.

And man, Tadokoro actually managed to get into Elite Ten. Sure, she's 10th seat, but still.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. She managed to get one by default and apparently has held on.

Alice and Hayama both ended up with the excess seats though it remains to be seen who ended up Megushima's after he graduated.

Okay, this started slow, and the ensuing shenanigans between Tadokoro and Souma are entertaining as ever, this whole manga just took a darker turn. Did *not* expect that.

Consider me intrigued, though.
