Iron Wok Jan. Iron Wok Jan. Iron Wok Jan. Iron Wok Jan is literally the best cooking manga ever and nothing that has or will be created will ever live up to the exploits of Akiyama Jan.

The fact that Iron Wok Jan is so difficult to get your hands on is mankind's greatest sin. I could only find volumes 6 and 25 in two different stores, and volume 6 was in the discount bin. I tried asking the dudes at the shop to order the last two volumes for me, but they either didn't or couldn't. Probably cause the company that brought it over is no longer around. Luckily I had access to Korean scans.

Anyways this is a really good thread cause I went on a binge reread of Iron Wok Jan last week and wanted a thread to talk about how good it was to a bunch of people who are unlikely to understand anything I am talking about. Thank you OP.

2015 was the year of cooking + mukbang (eating) in Korea. Also singing and raising kids, but that's besides the point. A lot of chefs became celebrities and have branched out onto other cooking shows. One dude even got two television shows with his name on it.

I should probably write up a different description for Iron Wok Jan once I figure it out. I really think it did food battles really well. Not just "this guy made better food than yours" but actual tactics. Like, in the first tournament arc, Jan figured out his opponent was making a heavy and oily dish, so he deliberately made a sweet soup and served it before his opponent. The judges were already full after judging dishes the whole day, so once they drank Jan's soup they couldn't handle his opponent's dish, which had also grown cold in the meantime. It was really overexaggerated. I'd place it somewhere between Souma and Yakitatte! in terms of outlandishness. It didn't go full on supernatural like Yakitatte! did but it was sure as hell loving bizarre. Like kicking sharks out of shark tanks. Killing ostriches with clapping cymbal monkey toys. Crossdressing to challenge the chef of a hotel by making edible brain molds out of lotus flowers. Flamethrowers on hands. Y'know, normal stuff.

Compendium posted:I would ask about why the girls' proportions are super ridiculous, but then again I read Shokugeki no Souma Yeah I dunno why, it was normal in the beginning but then they suddenly ballooned up. Look at this.  It's even worse in the sequel. I'm just assuming everything gets exaggerated, and breasts were no exception.

Serious Frolicking posted:shokugeki no souma has porn art, because the mangaka used to do porn. those are unholy abominations, so maybe the mangaka did some horror manga? Well....  Tetsuhai no Jan! is the author's latest work, and it's apparently Jan if he was a gambler instead of a chef. Breasts are still large, judging from this image.

I know there's already a thread for it but Toriko was a blast. I blew threw it in a few days. Admittedly I skimmed over the lengthy explanations.

Can Of Worms posted:Only 5 chapters translated so far, but I found them pretty funny (especially chapter 5's ending): Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san, a story about a high school girl who REALLY likes ramen. It's a good manga and I'm glad someone picked it up again. Also makes me crave ramen. ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Koizumi-san makes you wanna eat ramen. ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Ramen in color.

I recently got back my 2 volumes of Iron Wok Jan that I left behind Canada and leafing through them made me remember just how much I want to have them in English again. I'll post a few pages when I get the chance. Also spotted a typo in one of the pages, hah.

Can Of Worms posted:There was apparently also a kdrama for it, but I can't even find any evidence that it aired. Hopefully someone will pick up the project again! After checking, a drama was in talks, but never got made. The announcement was in early ~ mid 2015, and then no actual news since. Hasn't been officially cancelled as far as I can tell, though, so who knows.

Holy hell someone's scanlating Mogusa-san. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Mogusa-san Mogusa-san is a comic about a girl who really likes eating and goes out of her way to devise tricks to eat (or eat more food than she appears to be eating) without people noticing. It's utterly cute and hilarious and I seriously recommend it.

It's less about romance (though there is some) and more about the force of nature that is a hungry Mogusa-san.
