A great "Shounen" food manga!

Ignore all the complains about this manga. The plot is not "fast" it's a "shounen" manga if you expect a much slower detailed plot go read something else. There's fanservice but it's not annoying unlike other manga's but that's not what makes this manga so good! It's the food, the art and the character reaction that will make you salivate.

In this manga, you can see how everything is going to play out from the very beginning. However, this is not a bad thing. The execution is done really well, and the art, done by Tosh, is beautiful and handles the character's expressions really well.

The character's are really likable, both appearance wise and personality wise. The main character is alpha as fuck. Also, you won't get confused between characters, as none of them look alike and are all memorable in their own way.

The selling point of this manga is definitely in the fan service, though. Tosh's godly artwork makes those scenes beautiful, humorous, and downright delicious. Quite literally, food porn.

Food porn is a little borderline...if you take out the orgasms from eating good food, there really isn't any even ecchi things much less porn. Nikumi kind of borderline but a big chest doesn't necessarily constitute ecchi...

I never image the great story from TSUKUDA Yuuto-Sensei and the great art from SAEKI Shun-Sensei (who work on Harem Time) is make this manga become so amazing, the power of combination is so frightening!

That's what this is. And not even joking.

I don't think I would have imagined myself reading a cooking series with art by a H artist. It certainly gives it a special feel. But still, it's pretty enjoyable all in all and you get used to the fanservice.

There seems to be some slight plot holes already, but I suppose it's still too early to judge. The characters are interesting and the food makes you hungry.

Very interesting cooking manga with a few problems

I love cooking manga, and this does the genre justice with different kinds of food that's introduced. Great art, pacing, and it's very energetic. However, the problems I have are:

1. Too much fanservice. It's funny once or twice but when everyone starts orgasming every time they eat his food it gets corny.

2. Room for improvement? He's already at such a high level. Where is the growth? He's catching up to his father, but the story doesn't properly gauge his current level for the readers.

When I mean growth, I'm talking about real conflict dealing with cooking, with him overcoming his insecurities or failures in cooking.. not talking about conflict that deals with the politics of cooking.

Well this is just silly, both the food and the fanservice

I know I probably shouldn't comment about the foods or the methods used to cook them in this manga, since its pretty freakin obvious the point is to show off fan service here... but being a chef myself, I have to call shenanigans on all the food in this manga so far. Absolute BS cooking techniques and unrealistic foods.

It's quite a cheesy manga, with LOTS of random fanservice, and being a "shounen" never will be a decent excuse for it having this plot, with stupid reasoning.
Befitting Shounen Jump, they made it a battle manga somehow...
