A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
First chapter was good tho.

I just like that no one really stops to give a thought to the fact that Asahi almost committed incest

I'm also sure we needed the scene where a bunch of people apparently cared about his mom enough to leave flowers but also call her a drunk whore

Aces all around Tsukuda

I was too busy trying to forget that Asahi ever existed. That whole arc was just dumb and out of place.

that was a strange scene even by manga standards.

This reveal doesnt offend me, I just dont get why Tsukada leaned so hard into the adults when everyone likes the kids. He could have just done the medaka box ending and everyone would be happy.

Shun Saeki walks in. Hey Tsukuda! Are you making a sandwich?

Yeah I'm putting some of Soma's mom on it.

Isn't that all you've been eating lately?

Nah it's cool I found some leftover Asahi and Aizami. I'm adding that as well!

What are you nuts!? That stuff went bad months ago! Last time you ate that it gave you horrible diarrhea! ... Wait... What's in that jar?

...

Incest.

Tsukuda!

No it's incest light! It's 25% less creepy!

You know I'm kind of glad the epilogue turned towards the super terrible. The first chapter gave me some optimism, and if the epilogue was good after that horrible final arc then I'd be conflicted. Now I can just pretend the manga ended after the Elite Ten arc and everything works out!

Spoilers: Open-ended, pretty much no one is officially with anybody it looks like. Souma's mom had a heart condition that should've gotten better but didn't, and she passes away. Erina and Souma having feelings for eachother is kinda hinted at, most of the students are running restaurants or whatever, series ends with Souma serving Erina his latest dish. Hayama has a wedding ring but nothing is said about who he married. No pairs are confirmed at all.

Edit: Yeah basically confirmed.

I can't tell if that's better or worse than Naruto's "everyone hooked up and banged" last chapter.

It is hard to make something worse though so I will wait and see. Maybe it's better to be open ended.

It would essentially make the last arc utterly pointless in addition to being completely miserable so I almost feel like it’s worse?

Not that it would’ve made any sense after what happened anyways, Erina’s development basically got punted out the window completely right around the time she said “yeah I kinda hope Asahi wins, gently caress your Souma”. Dude should’ve up and got the heck out of dodge the moment that happened.

E: Like I’m still kinda :psyduck: about who that final arc was actually for

Here's hoping that SnS can get some kind of a FMA: Brotherhood-like reboot that just invalidates everything starting from where their culinary consultant had life take over, and they were just winging poo poo, and charts a better course.

If the next anime season went off and did it’s own ending I would consider that an improvement.

Did Soma's grandfather just suddenly appear? I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about him before.

Props for being the first manga to come back with an epilogue that boils down to, "And nothing ever changed. Except some people got haircuts."

Also, gently caress you for having Ashai suddenly start talking about his cute little sister.

If you cut out Asahi then this would've been a really nice post-Azami wrap-up chapter. I liked the 80's style "they went on to do so and so" montage. I didn't care for Azami but the food and characters were still good IMO. I felt like the whole Asahi arc was just both creepy and ultimately a waste of time on the level of Bleach's final arc given how poo poo both the food and the new antagonists were.

I saw it pointed out elsewhere that Asahi’s basically being treated unconditionallylike he’s one of the fam even though he kidnapped and tried to put his half-sister into marriage slavery.

The idea will play out the same with every character popping in to show what they are doing now.
But every single one steps on Azami's crotch during their little segment.

It is funny that this was essentially part romantic comedy and played up that "find someone you want to cook for" line then did basically almost nothing with it.

Not even a confession.

Souma's goals of beating his dad and making Erina say his cooking is delicious were never accomplished. Not even after a ten year time skip.
