Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The biggest problem with this series is shifting goalposts and how nebulous the standards really are. Like, Soma gets the best meal ever cooked for him by an exceptional First Seat and ate his dad's food all day and he's supposed to be intimidated by Hayama and shit.
And then Erina is legit rich off her cooking and sense of taste, but then her dad is probably gonna come in and shit all over her.
Of course, its always possible its just a feint - Joichiro looks menacing as fuck when they want him to look that way.

Thank the manga gods for good writing. I knew Kuga wouldnt lose overall. Soma needs to level up which will be exciting come the day we get a true shokugeki against Kuga. With Taku as his peer rival and now Kuga as his senpai rival, Soma and this manga are well aligned to reach even greater heights. The future is pretty bright indeed.

I hope both will keep having run-ins with each other.

I knew they'd bring her back
Again!! 1-96
This is pretty good, it's about Time Travel and Ouendan
. The MC's sort of like Hachiman from SNAFU, ecept with blond hair
Not sure how this is going to turn out really, has more kissing than SNAFU though and it's pretty funny.
The story starts at his graduation, he goes to the Ouendan club that he's not a part of and wonders why it was shut down, a girl had gone to the floor to meet her boyfriend and then runs after the MC sees her thinking he's going to kill her because he "looks scary" he chases after her and find that she's fallen down the stairs and unconscious, he falls down some how, lands on her, and then finds himself back 3 years ago at his first day at high school, and the Ouendan club is still running.
So yeah, at the moment it's far from finished, but it's been pretty good.

Kotori that is, since they mentioned her before.

The unconscious girl also turns out to have gone back in time.

Erina's dad looks like a Vampire. Maybe that's why Alice and her mom have red eyes and pale skin, Erina didn't get the Vamp nanomachines genes

Huh, seems like the Arc-V manga will be different from the anime from day one. I expected it to happen eventually since that happens to all the other Yu-gi-oh manga, but this time it seems that it's happening right from the start instead of diverging down the line

Did not expect this level of gore from a title like this. Fun read, tho.

Ignoring my unwillingness to waver on Snake-senpai, I can't seem to remember; do we know that Erina's dad is a chef? I don't seem to recall any direct confirmation that he is. Maybe he's not a chef and is just a huge asshole.

I dunno if they ever say what the Nakiri family actually does. They probably do a lot of things but make most of the money and namesake in culinary so her dad could be a CEO or something.

I just hope he gets a cool title, God's Tongue is still up there with Prince of Smoke for best titles for characters in this series.

They own a Culinary Academy, I guess. Erina's already independently wealthy going by her reaction to Soma's request to taste his stew (comically small bribe notwithstanding).
I'm hoping Joichiro actually shows up at some point here so we can get a little more background/plot. He hasn't actually shown up in close to 100 chapters.

Prince of Smoke sounds like the name of a person who does Bob Marley covers in shitty bars

I kind of feel like that too but it was Alice has an idea -> Alice enacts the idea, I dunno where they would've gotten more screentime. Those three will get some more later I'm sure

Lol at the twins being called Aphex Twins.
The Rock Human biology lesson is one of the weirdest things I've seen in JoJo.

Again, can't fault this girl for being pissed at Thorfinn.

I'm betting it's something just like they barely knew each other, thought they'd get along and found each other attractive and then it turned out their personalities didn't match. I sincerely doubt it's anything big, just that she's a bit of a controlling beyotch and he's a doofus.
Note that I still love her character.

I'm not really sure what to think of this one. There were some wonderfully surreal moments, like when I.Q.
and the part where Yuki
but for some reason it didn't grab me as well as I wanted it to. When Yuki and I.Q.
I'm not entirely sure then how much was in Yuki's mind and what was reality - although I guess that might be what was intended?
I really enjoyed the art, and overall the manga was incredibly good at creating a sense of unease. It felt almost claustrophobic at times, and the use of sound and confusing visuals to create a sort of sensory overload (with the low-flying planes, the innocuous chatter of the children, etc) which was great too. This is one of the cases where I feel my apathy towards the work might be because I don't fully grasp it yet. There's a lot of imagery and symbolism in this that I think would perhaps warrant a second read to understand completely - it kind of feels like I'm missing parts of the puzzle, so to speak. Right now though, I'm on the fence as to whether I like it or not.

hallucinates himself on fire, as well as his box becoming bigger and darker as the story progressed,
is beckoned by the dog to go up to the fourth floor, and his hallucination of the class with flowers for heads,
ascended to the fifth floor, I was honestly expecting it to culminate with Yuki committing suicide, the black door representing the path to the afterlife. It felt like that had been foreshadowed prior, what with the frequent claims that Yuki didn't "have much time left here" and the way his hallucinations were ramping up felt like he was going to have a breakdown, leading to suicide.

You know, inspite of her clearly being a capital B Bitch whose sum total of importance so far is to have been to be the Bowser to Marika's Peach for an objective that is utterly disgusting, I can't hate Marika's Mom. Everyone else has been so Milquetoast story wise that a clearly disgusting individual is the best character out of this dumb comic.
Hell, I want the ensuing arc to be a Trost level disaster just to show everyone the hell up.

Yona of the Dawn 100-101
Zeno's true power is really bad ass, I also wasn't expecting his reveal to lead into a flash back/origin story of the original 4 dragon warriors. The only real problem I see going forward is any fight with Zeno will lose most of its tension due to his immortal body, the only real conflict will come if someone nearly kills Yona.

Well, Zeno can still be captured. Something like a tranquilizer might not trigger his scales appearing, and without that he's not that strong himself.
