Yuki Morisaki also works as a Contributor, providing the recipes for the series. Sōma of the Shokugeki) is a Japanese shōnen manga series written by Yūto Tsukuda and illustrated by Shun Saeki. He's one of the sloppiest and most artificial roadblocks created because "this is a manga and fucking main guy and main girl cannot be together until the last chapter lol".Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma (Japanese: 食戟のソーマ, Hepburn: Shokugeki no Sōma, lit. You know those romantic teenage shitty stories that suddenly introduces a prince on the second book and - surprise, surprise - he is "in love" with the main girl? Kind of like that. he was introduced in a very sloppy manner, and his presence in the story ruined bits of the development of the main guy, main girl and the father of the main guy (who was supposed to be one of the final bosses of the story). The chef of the villains, let's call that way. It doesn't help that these villains are associated with the worst character I've ever seen in ages. SnS was crazy even in better times, but when you see a character cooking using a chainsaw (and it's take completely serious by the narrative btw), you need to stop. He's using his pet characters in a competition that should be the final one, but the author didn't even mention why characters that are way more competent than said pet characters aren't there.Īlso, the villains became so over-the-top in a not fun way.
And, in some cases, without proper explanation. After this arc finished, you think he brought them back, right? Nope. The author created a fun and beloved set of characters that has been sidelined after a really long arc.
The karma ranking had a post from the mod asking to tag as, but this doesn't count as art, does it? SnS only loses readers and gain none, at least here in r/manga. Not only SnS got a sharp decline in the number of upvotes, if you consider how much r/manga grow in the last months, it gets even worse. The last chapter didn't even get 300 upvotes as of the time of publishing this post. In the last 15 chapters, only one got more than 500 upvotes. Chapter 273, with the begining of the duel between Soma and Asahi, is the last chapter to get near 1k karma, with almost 900 upvotes. This chapter got only ~600 upvotes, a third of the upvotes SnS got only 10 chapters earlier. It's the chapter that Megumi beats that random midnight chef in the hot springs.Ĭhapter 271 introduces Asahi - beating Soma's dad in a very polemic chapter. Soma became the first seat and Erina became the headmaster in chapter 263 and then things started to slow down quite a bit.Ĭhapter 269 is the last chapter to reach 1k upvotes. In chapter 262, the second highest karma of the list, we see Azami's reaction to her food, stripping everyone around him. The chapter ends with Erina showing the final part of her dish. Eishi and Rindou eat the dish and are both very impressed. In this chapter, Erina is about to serve her plate to her father. Chapter 260 is the most popular, with a score of 1891 upvotes. I started counting from chapter 253 because it's when Soma and Erina are about to face Eishi and Rindou in the final bout of the RdCĪs the match (and the arc) reached its climax, so did the karma scoring. I quickly made this on the excel, sorry if it's not the most polished graphic.
