With a great handicapp this author has a 46 volume ongoing manga, that demonstrates how cappable the author is, amazing skills as a serialized mangaka. The handicapp is obviously the main topic of this manga "curry" ¿how can you make 46 volumes with such a narrow topic? Seriously, i'm looking forward for a good action/romance shounen from this author, cause he can make it big.
Now about the manga itself. The handicapp it's still too big which leads to silly situations, obviously there's a lot of flaws, i like it but can't rate it too high. This is seinene/slice of life?... i don't know, there's a lot of cooking battles where the bet is they're pride... , that's shounen. On the other hand there's a struggle to support the bussines and and a romance with age gap which obviously it's the seinen/slice of life. I think it's better not mixing seinen/shounen cause you always get bizarre results, some weird feelings when reading this.
About the comedy, it's good, but i can't compare it to GTO, not a chance. I never got to laugh off noisly with this manga, not even close to Onizuka. Amusing, but not hilarious
In chapter 66 the drama explodes, the episodic semishounen cooking-battle arcs come to an end, the romance, the past , the meaning behind the characters(obviously something more important than curry), everything gets better, so you need to be patient. It's a very long manga so i guess it change a lot till the the last releases.
WIth all that said i'd like to emphasize how serious expectations i have with Funatsu Kazuki sensei in future porojects.
