New chapter is up through the official channels.

Getting the "excess energy" out at home with one-on-one with a girl typically means something else, Kurokiba.

I binged this whole manga in four sittings, and I like it a whole lot.

I really like Megumi's character arc, from being a poor cook and student to finding out it's only because of low self-confidence. And then she takes part in the election tournament, which means she's one of the eight top chefs in her school year (excluding Erina since she doesn't partecipate in the election because she's one of the ten seats). I can only wait for someone to underestimate her, challenge her to a shokugeki, and promptly get trounced :allears:

Also Alice is a bro.

"Food that punches you in the face" and "food that smells amazing but is otherwise unremarkable" don't seem to work with the theme very well, no.

To be fair though, scent comprises a majority of our "taste" sense. This is why when you have a cold most foods are really unappetizing, since most of the flavor requires you to smell the taste.

As for food punching you in the face, I have no clue. That should go back to Toriko.

As funny as the reactions that aren't the naked female characters being raped by food are I don't think we'll reach the greatness of "soup face".

That image is probably the flagship image for this series in SA at this point. I think I've seen that image posted three times or so, generally with the same tag line (from the ping pong chapter).

It's amazing.

Also makes me think I should watch the Jojo anime, along with the frog punching gif.

It's perfect because it allays fears that all the reactions are going to be barely disguised porn, like they are in the early chapters.

Also you definitely should.

A mixed bag really, if Wikipedia is anything to go by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.C.Staff

There's some good stuff, but a lot of sub par things too so I can see this anime going either way.

My two cents: I have never seen an outright bad J.C.Staff anime, and they did some personal favourites of mine. So I'm feeling optimistic.

Yeah, scrolling through the list there, most of the things I've seen that I didn't much care for, was more because the source material was eh rather than it was poorly done.

I simply don't understand from a writing perspective what's being gained by a three way match with both Kurokiba and Akira here. They're basically the same guy - dark, broody arrogant guys. Its gotten worse since they've Flanderized Kurokiba's personality away from being mostly a chill dude into being an rear end in a top hat even in his default persona. Chapter was decent but it followed a lot of same narrative structure as the previous in-between arcs.

Everyone is a huge rear end in a top hat in this cooking school except for the Polar Star Dorm people. And anyone added to Yukihara's harem.

Probably because Hayama has been built up as the final boss of this whole arc, but the author's been building up Kurokiba a lot too and didn't want him to get beat by anyone but Souma?

Its actually been built up to be Eizan, its just that he barely does anything.

Huh. I had completely forgotten about that guy. Has he done actually done anything as an antagonist this whole time? I guess he sent the copycat guy against Souma, but, I can't think of anything else?

you're gonna have to explain how you came out with this interpretation because the dude was as chill as ever. He just happens to take fish very seriously.
