Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Souma Yukihira dreams to one day surpass his father's cooking skills and take over as the chef of their small family diner. However, his aspirations come to a halt when his father announces the closure of their restaurant, as he must travel abroad for cooking-related business.

In the meantime, Souma is urged by his father to attend Tootsuki Culinary Academy: a world-renowned school where expulsions of incompetent students are commonplace. Due to the curriculum's rigor, any student that manages to graduate is recognized as a chef of great caliber. Reluctantly agreeing to the proposition, Souma heads to Tootsuki's high school division for the entrance exam. Little does he know, he will soon begin a new chapter of his life—one that entails new friends, daring rivalries, and sleepless nights.

Shokugeki no Souma was published in English as Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma by VIZ Media under the Shonen Jump Advanced imprint from August 5, 2014 to June 2, 2020. It has also been published in Polish as Kulinarne Pojedynki by Waneko since November 2016.

Mixed Feelings
My local library had a copy of every volume of Food Wars: Shokugeki No Soma, which made it easy to binge-read in a cost effective way. Otherwise, I would have felt as though I wasted my money. The art was on the better end for Shounen Jump releases, the characters were enjoyable, the setting was intriguing, the series was slightly educational while being entertaining, yet despite being surrounded by all this delicious food, I still came out feeling empty when the story concluded.

All of the arcs were pretty good except for the last two. Those who enjoy cooking will probably enjoy this manga and look ...

Preliminary (315/325 eps)
FOR THE SAKE OF SPOILERS, I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FOR MY ARGUMENTS.

This manga was painful to watch develop.

You see, I am VERY partial to this manga since it was indeed the first anime I had ever watched from the day it aired. It was my introduction into my now weeb life and what a wonderful one it was.

I remember watching the first season and simply being infatuated with how amazing everything seemed but sadly, this was not ...
