First off, fair warning to parents and people who are sensitive to partial nudity – there is some in this volume, but it’s not for the context of people getting it on. Have you ever heard of the term "food porn" before (really awesome pictures of food where you just want to stop what you’re doing and eat something?) This book has the follow up to food porn known as "foodgasm"…the sometimes questionable looking images are based on completely over the top eating reactions where a character may be reduced down to their skivvies. No human melons or sausages are flashed, but as a parent, I wanted to give full disclosure. That said, as the manga goes on into further chapters, the gratuitous fan service scenes do die down – again, keep in mind, panty flashes is not the focus of this manga.
That said, Shokugeki no Soma is total Shonen Manga (targeted to young boys) – it’s a story about Yukihira S’ma, whose dream is to become a full-time chef in his father’s restaurant and surpass his father’s culinary skills. When S’ma graduates middle school, his father, Yukihira J’ichir’ , gets a new job in America and abruptedly closes his restaurant. In the meantime, J’ichir’ sends S’ma to an elite culinary school where only 10% of the students manage to graduate. The first five chapters are included in this volume, along with the original one shot used to promote the series.
The art done by Shun Saeki is absolutely stunning. The illustrations are highly detailed, well laid out, and the food images totally rival anything you could see on Food Network. You will want to stop and eat something while reading this manga. The story by Yuto Tsukuda is equally gripping. It can be slightly predictable, but no less really entertaining to read.
