Unfortunately for him both life and his father have other plans, and he is forced to attend an ultra elite culinary school in order to find his path in life. The story centers on a young man just ending middle school with plans to study culinary arts in the small family restaurant with his father. I am anticipating great laughs, and quite a few moments of embarrassment (oddly enough) from this series as it pushes against boundaries of both taste and social standards. It will be fun to see exactly where they plan on taking this crazy train, since it has already gone off the tracks. The food scenes are done in high quality style to highlight them as great co-stars of the show.

The acting, script, and presentation have good flow with very well done dramatic music and style to highlight important scenes. That aside, the concept of the show is actually looking very interesting. If Gourmet Girl Graffiti was too much for you, then you won't survive the first episode here. Warning: This series has nudity, sexually suggestive behavior, and blatantly sexual cut-scenes that make it worthy of the title of food porn. With an interesting story and concept, likable characters, a fun mix of action and comedy with cute girls and a lot of tasty food, Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma is a must see series! And it even has an interesting and endearing feel good story to back it all up!ġ5 year old Soma Yukihira (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka ) dreams of becoming a master chef like his father Jouichiro (Rikiya Koyama ), but to do that he has to graduate from Tootsuki Academy, Japan's top culinary arts academy where less than 10% of the students graduate! He makes many friends along the way including young and timid Megumi Tadokoro (Minami Takahashi) as well as many rivals like the daughter of the academy's head Nakiri Erina (Risa Taneda ), all while trying to fight his way towards becoming the school's top chef via the grueling cooking battles known as Shokugeki! Can Soma make it to the top? No like seriously, there's a lot of ecchi and literal foodgasms happen.

Think the anime version of Iron Chef with tons of food porn and people porn. Ok, in all seriousness, Shokugeki no Soma is hands down the most genius work to come out of Weekly Shonen Jump in a long time! It's a cooking manga sure, but at it's core it's a battle manga.
