I did feel a little bit of it from this chapter, with Souma easily winning favor of one of the toughest teachers in the school. It can't be that all the upcoming rival students are harder to please than the teachers, right?

However, there is a weakness in him in that his cooking experience and intuition is mostly restricted within his diner, so he knows nothing of the wider culinary world and is ignorant of culinary theory. He only knows about the honey solution because he experimented, not because he knows chemistry, so he's going to flounder when given his first paper test to fill out. Of course, this is probably why his father told him to close the shop and go see the world first.

When you consider the fact he had previously easily impressed Erina and her grandfather, that hardly seems special.

Besides, some of those other nameless mooks also got an A for their dish.

Given that Souma's set-up as a character already establishes him as highly skilled, even if unorthodox, it makes sense that he's a class above characters who don't even get names to themselves.

Impressing the grandfather is probably relative. His smile seems more to me that he's confirming his hunch that his arrogant granddaughter couldn't admit she's been challenged. It doesn't mean he's giving Souma his approval yet.

My problem is that, one whole volume in, Souma's still breezing through it all. We've never even seen Erina cook. What exactly is his challenge at the school supposed to be if even the strictest teacher looks like a pushover to him? His dominance has to be tempered somehow soon before it gets boring.

Well, in my opinion he's breezing through because it's barely started and we're pretty much haven't see the elite "1%" abilities yet. It's a bunch of random grunts so far. He will have his match, we just have to wait for the plot to thicken.

That reaction turned her young?!

DName · 2012-12-29, 05:26

Wow, I love these series and to know who is the author makes it more hilarious. BTW I have just seen an american "MasterChief" episode and guess what, there competitors had to make a dish where egg is a vital and the most important ingredient to make it to the show. Its 2010 season.

It made her remember back when she was young.

I'm warming up to Tadokoro slightly. She's going to be the unluckiest plot-armored character of all time.

Vladrave · 2012-12-31, 06:17

Oh gee, that old hag is sure hot when she is younger.

And Tadakou and Soma as room mates? lol this is getting better and better.

Wonder if it'll develop into any kind of romance. I think Shounen Jump is missing a ecchi romance title right?

Mizuno · 2012-12-31, 07:22

There's no way someone that hot (possibly hotter than Erina) turned into something like that. NO WAY!

Time is not kind to those who are beautiful. It's something us ugly people can take solace in

Ah damn and I can't even rep you for that now

While I did have some doubts about Megumi she is fitting nicely into the story right now, it's oddly amusing and endearing in a way that she's so unfortunate and pitiful and god knows how that is possible?!

Really liking this, hope we see more of younger Fumio again

DName · 2013-01-01, 09:38

I love this manga's art. And Megumi's face at the end of the chapter, I think I pitfully have fallen in love with another character from manga/anime :/

Westlo · 2013-01-16, 09:33

Seems this is doing quite well in Jump, ranked 5th in this weeks jump though there is some debate as to whether or not it's a proper ranking.. it shouldn't be but because of the double issue it may be.

Regardless it seems the editorial stuff have mentioned that it's very popular, it's also getting exra pages next issue. Usually I don't read Jump manga until they're kinda safe, so it's good to see that the last few I took a chance on are popular (Ac) or seem to be (this one).

blade82 · 2013-01-16, 10:14

its original no sport no battle and no nosebleed

Vladrave · 2013-01-16, 16:27

poisui Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Age: 27	Chapter 7: The story development continues to pick up!!! Spoiler for 7: Yukihira meets his weirdo housemates. They tell him about the Tootsuki Elite Council of Ten. (Nakiri Erina is part of the Elite Council of Ten, so the council is no joke.) Yukihira eats one of the housemates' cooking. The food is so delicious that he gets a reaction. It turns out that he is already face-to-face with a powerful Council member. __________________ Favorite ongoing manga (last updated: August 31): #1) Gintama #2) Detective Conan #3) Nisekoi #4) One Piece #5) Anagle Mole Last edited by poisui; 2013-01-19 at 01:26.
