That's a Funabori-grade blush right there! Even the president can't pull it off like this.

This started as kinda-funny and went into full professional awww by the ending. Everything is so cute!
I still think it shouldn't have been a 4-koma, but it was ok. Those final few chapters were fun.

Edit: Panda just give me the OP and tell me where should i start the thread.
Aye, I'll write something then. I don't know anything about OT placement/rules though. I don't even know if it's okay to do this or what.

7DS has an anime before Soma? Maybe they gotta finish the tourny arc first. I can see a lot of the stuff that took 20 chapters in Soma not being terribly long animated.
Well, Soma makes really heavy use of full page and spread use, so I imagine they could easily hit 75 chapters in a 2-cour even if they pace it slowly.

Not that I think Shueisha ever considers something like that, haha. It's probably just the case of having other candidates with more chapters. Soma was the last of a wave of newcomers around that time frame, especially if you include Kuroko's late popularity boost.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Also why can't everybody and their mother remember somas dad?

something fishy is going on

Wasn't it confirmed that Soma's dad had a different last name when he went to school?
I think it was implied he took his wife's name.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

Chocolate Underground 1-3 (END)

Wow, for a little story that sure left a big impact. Set in a state where an oppressive government have banned chocolate, it revolves around two boys and their fight to save their sugary snacks from the ever watchful chocolate police. An evocative and charming read with a clear British influence (it's based on a children's book by a British author). The chapters are lengthy enough that there's actually a good bit of meat to it. Worth checking out.

Aye, I'll write something then. I don't know anything about OT placement/rules though. I don't even know if it's okay to do this or what.
You have my Hakkero, although I've seen a few Touhou threads here before and they typically have a short lifespan.

Was Soma's Dad ever famous? He made a lot of connections while traveling the world but I don't think it's ever been said that he was a big name famous chef. He ran a small special of the day store under a different last name so it's not suprising that people from around Soma's generation don't know him. Plus Soma looks pretty different from his Dad.
