Hinamatsuri ch. 1-6
Three of you backed this, so I had to see what was up sooner rather than later. It's pretty fun. The first chapter is a bit underwhelming for an opener admittedly, but things are pretty humorous past that. Hina chucking the fishing rod into the sea got me good. Will catch up more on the weekend.

Actually we have. Journalist kid who looked up to soma from the semi finals of the election was a middle school student. Pretty sure he even called soma senpai
It gets better as it goes on and more characters get to shine.

My guess is that all he has to do is get the judges to taste it since Eizan doesn't actually try during the Shokugeki. The judges aren't actually "bribed" they're just favorable to Central's plan.

I'm gonna guess the approach here will be similar to what happened with that lady on the first chapters: the judges will underestimate Soma and then will get tempted to eat his food, ultimately leading to his victory. Otherwise, I'm bracing myself for some shonen madness (not that I don't like that from time to time)

I'm hoping this is some kind of team effort and not "Soma saves the day with his OP Shonen cooking yet again."

How so? Team focused as in they help Soma create the dish (somewhat similar to helping Soma with his finals dish, but with all of polar star and more involvement)? Because Shokugekis are one on one. I think them all putting their specialties into the dish is definitely possible though, with Soma finding a way to tie it all together
this is around a week old but
man it is probably due to all the awesome art and shading we got for the past few weeks.... the dude literally sometimes draws chapters as comparable to those series that release monthly
Dang.
Dang.
Shokugeki no Soma
Can't say I agree with any of you guys' suggestions so far, I'll be really surprised if the manga goes in one of those traditional routes. It doesn't feel that way at all
I'm guessing Erina will play into this in some way. However Soma plans on forcing Eizan's hand it won't be through the normal "make a dish so good that it'll win", that's what I think

I just want to see the other people play some kind of role in this (in getting the judges to eat it). It doesn't seem like Soma's problem is coming up with a dish to beat Eizan since Eizan doesn't try.

Alan's backstory seems awfully similar to Edward's. Even their designs resemble each other somewhat.
Not really feeling this so far. Does it have any "gets good" moment I could hope to latch on to ? (please don't say chapter 120)
It has taken me a long. long time to get accustomed to this art style and even now, I'm not entirely fond of it. Though weirdly enough from the beginning, I loved those infrequent scenes where the author goes for this more painterly and abstract approach, particularly in the night setting. The story so far isn't very unique, bah, cliche is what I would call it so far (lone great warrior with a dark side tries to forge a new life but his past continues to haunt him) but the resolution for the Kikuchi arc was pretty surprising and I hope it will continue in that vein.

I remember finding Crowley's arc to be the point I found the manga more enjoyable....so chapter 31.

The Edo arc is really good which happens after the Crowley arc which someone above mentioned

It's gets really confusing once you get into the whole 14th/Allen/Mana/Earl business. An arc dealing with Kanda's coming up and it's pretty good but everything after it is pretty convoluted.
The all the hiatuses due to carpal tunnel probably screwed up her pacing for the rest of the series (because it definitely shows when one arc ends then goes to another then stops and picks up again midway).
That should be close enough for me to persevere, thanks.

I didn't find the Allen/14th thing to be that difficult to follow. Though perhaps it gets more involved past where I'm at (in the 170s).

Carol, how many times has she hit you, and how does this hurt more than usual? Somehow I doubt it's a small number.

That prez must be feeling the worst pressure having to not interfere with their love.

About Soma, I can see this goes two ways
1. Erina helps. Aizen needs her for his plan so she is probably immune.
2. Soma somehow gets people like Dojima or Shinomiya to judge. Alumni wouldn't accept bribes.
Probably the first option.

I'm starting to think than the ability to "hear the ingredients" is essentially just the ability to hear gourmet devils. That's why Komatsu say that "she sounded familiars", because she's the voice that he always hear and tell him how to cook foods, fhroze's ex gourmet's devil. A Devi that apparently shit on everyone else seeing how he cook instantly ingredients that would need dozens of years to prepare.
So essentially he's a fucking hack that is being whispered cheat codes.

UQ Holder 1-68
This is kinda worse than I'd hoped. The opening is pretty rough, I would have prefered it if either the country-setting would have been given some chapters to establish characters more, or the story would have started with the Holder organization to begin with. Like this, it just feels unfocused and rushed. The fights themselves are pretty nice, but every plot setting thus far, slums, airport and school, never really seemed coherent and it nearly felt like three different mangas slapped together. I also don't really like all the half-baked gore, or how the stakes escalate to world destruction so quickly. And Touta himself is kinda fun, but also a rather boring character all around.

Witches of the Forest of Solitude (one-shot)
Waiting for a "friend" to show ♫
A sweet little short about two witches and their dependency issues. Art was slightly rough in places, but otherwise this was the kind of story I'll lap up like blood from an axe wound. The mild bitterness to the pair's relationship gives it a more appealing flavour. Also I choose to believe that the snow wiped out the village, because something something karma.

Shokugeki no Soma 141
Of course Soma challenge Eizan/Aizen to shokugeki...
The only problem is how he's going to turn this around. Using smell to make the judge eat them? ex-Elite ten member to be the judge? Finding out that the reason that Eizan obsession with money is to help his debt ridden family, then invite his family to be the judge? Soma whipping out gun and start shooting the judge before they even start judging? Snuffing Eizan the day before Shokugeki to make Soma win by default? Bribe Eizan with sex to reconsider Polar Star Dorm? Soma losing the Shokugeki, then it was revealed that the one that got expelled is actually phantom Soma? Pa...ra...site...ham...bur...ger... The possibility is endless!

That last page. Hype!
Now that I think about it.. who will be the judges for this match? Would it be members of the E10, Erina or some other people? Either way, it would be a good chance to see how far Soma's cooking has evolved since he's fighting an E10 member now.
Nisekoi 192
Sounds like this arc is far from over. At least Honda's changed sides now.

I love when Nisekoi gets all battle shonen-y.
Sousei no Onmyouji (caught up)
So her brother is a literal psychopath that blew both of her legs off because she was annoying him.
And then proceeded to punch a literal hole through her fiancee. Got it.

If something I'm interested in is coming out in America and there is no announced release for Italy (or the Italian release is in the hands of some fuck-up like it's the case for Food Wars) then I just grab the American version.
I mean if killing an orphanage wasn't enough of an indication.
