It was a _really_ good chapter, though.
Probably capitalizing on everyone's boredom and loathing of Azami
-
That was just one chapter. Not enough for Best Girl title.
It was more like she's always had best girl qualities to her, and now she's had a full chapter to flaunt those qualities.
So the promotion is not just because of one chapter, but it was more like the chapter was a culmination of what she's shown so far, which we believe finishes building her case for best girl position. -
For the record, I mainly did it because I felt like it was a good time to change the thread title

I expect oatmeal raisin cookies in my mailbox every day for the next 365 days
Sorry, I only have triple chocolate chip cookies with fudge. No healthy oatmeal raisin cookies…:ninja:

This. Azami isn't as frightening and threatening as people think he is. It's about time somebody treat him like the loser he is.

My apologizes, but my heart only and always will only belong to Erina.

Ok, it's a good chapter, but I prefer the chapters about Ryo vs Ren. They reminded me of the good old duels that luckily we'll have again.

Make a pool, say, for a 3 days, and put the most voted female in the title :happy:.
-
I wanna read an AU where Azami doesn't exist and Alice and Erina were pen pals. How would Erina be like today?
And yes, Alice is the best girl.
-
Mr Author pls bring Megumi back to the spotlight.
-
Megumi is best goddess, so Alice can be best girl.
-
Finally that fucking smug bastard is showing concern. Way to go Alice your fucking awesome hope she doesn't fall into her uncle clutches.
-
There are a lot of great girls in this series, which makes it even more impressive that Alice is still consistently the best. Truly, her powers of Best-Girl are unmatched.
-
I think it helps that Alice has overall a good attitude, she's confident, skilled, is open about things and people she likes and doesn't like, she works hard, she's interesting and a bit playful. She's the all rounder. A lot of the girls in the series that could be considered for best girl has some but not all those traits. Megumi is at least getting there for me with her confidence.
-
Anyone that is not Erina could be the best girl.

A lot of the side girls are pretty lacking though. Whether that's due to lack of development by the author or just overall personality and theme. Like….uhh...Girl who raised game meat, rice wine girl, stalker girl, angry hates man chineseine girl, Erina's assistant, the newly introduced elite fodder girls.

How dare you lump Hishoko in with such trash!
I was really enjoying her development up until she got hard damseled by Azami. Now she's so meek and useless which is incredibly aggravating because she holds the most power out of all the 'good guys'
-
I've catch up with the lastest chapter and I can also say that Alice is best girl.
-
…and OVA that comes bundle with Vol. 19
-
gah, its annoying seeing Megumi getting sidelined for so long.
-
Well, theoretically, she's got a shokugeki coming up p soon
-
@le:

Don't worry she get her chance to shine just like Alice,Ryo and Soma have. The other top 1st years should as well apart from Akira.
-
I'm just looking forward to the day Takumi can redeem himself. People still acknowledge his skill but he hasn't done anything since he lost.

At least she has a legit reason for not opposing him.
I'm not liking how emo she is but she's at least better than her grandfather.
Senzaemon is an highly well-known individual in the culinary but yet he can't do anything against Azami. He think it is better to trust a 16 years old to solve his problem. I have never seen a more useless "badass old man" than him.
There's also Alice's dad who really should be back by now…
They are the 'Demon clan' but they can't do anything about a piece of turd...:getlost:
Meanwhile, Alice is the only Nakiri who's actively opposing Azami and helping Erina escape...which is why she's best girl. -

Senzaemon doesn't do nothing to let Soma and Erina and the others shine; it's a common trope in this genre.
-
Yeeaaahhh it's a trope, but on the other hand I don't know if I've ever seen it done in such a hamfisted way
-
Luffy did save Ace during Marineford but it didn't stop Whitebeard from kicking everyone down before dying..
Yamatato did at least try to stop Aizen before sacrifice himself… Then turn out he's alive. Then sacrifice himself against Bach...
Netero from HxH sacrifice himself to take down Mereum...
In Naruto Part I, the hokage sacrifice himself to stop Orachimaru...You get the point. Yeah, it's true that the mc and the new generation will take the spotlight while the strong old dude dies in the background.:ninja: But those old geezers actually did something.
Senzaemon does absolutely nothing and just retire in disgrace...:wassat:Ultimately, Azami would be taken down by Joichirou, Gin or Alice dad. (Unless the author give Soma a power spike or something..)
Soma and co job is to take down Central.
So, no excuse why Senzaemon can't do anything. -
Well, I mean there can be legitimately good reasons for inaction for the younger generation to take up the reigns.
But we never see any of the reasons, sooooo yeah. Maybe more room for exploration, but it isn't exactly setting up Senzaemon's decision right now to be particularly reasonable or rational
-
Senzaemon has ulterior motives to not directly step in himself and instead ask Soma to do in his stead. I mean, this is the man who asked Jouchirou to enroll his son in Tootsuki in first place. Or have you forgotten that Azami, after pondering, wondered if it was just a big coincidence that his daughter and his senpai's son enrolled in the same academy in the same year?
Senzaemon and Jouichirou have set some long-term plan in motion in which Soma is the corner stone and the return of Azami was also likely among their previsions. This is where Jouchirou's "secret to become a great chef" comes into play.
But for everything to come full circle Soma has to achieve his ultimate goal. Azami is just a bump in the road.
-
So, Joichirou and Senzaemon's grand plan is for Soma to bang Erina and create the ultimate chef? Hence why Senzaemon don't interfere?:ninja:
This is Naruto all over again… -
Excuse me? Have you actually read what I have written up?
The goal is to have Soma (and by extension all the new generations) erase any and all influence Azami ever had in Erina, thus turning her refined palate into one that will accept all kinds of food regardless of the culinary methods used in the preparation of the dish. If you still haven't realized that, then my onlyrecommendation is that you read the very first chapter. Marriage? That is only going to happen because their relationship is going to improve a lot from there, because of the many hints that were laid out prior to that, and… the pilot chapter, I guess.
-
@Purple:

Well, if we talk about it, my point would be that you can't blame Sensaemon for doing nothing about it, and on the other hand praises Alice for doing something. You have to consider the whole picture. The guilty here is the author because almost nothing of Azami and all totsuki's organization is believable or enjoyable: when an Academy was ruled by the best students? Because that was the beginning of all bad things… Feeling happy about Alice's performance is ok, if we hide all of that other major parts of the story that makes little sense, even for a fiction story.
-
Chapter is out, ms.
I wonder why Soma looks this offended. Unless the "you are an useful one" was said in the tone of a cooking apliance, the thug face is unwaranted yet.
-
Ch 161 is out in mangastream.
! Nice to see Eishi and Soma in the colaborative cooking.
! Apart from that I'd say this two pages are completely horrible:
! >!
!
! Toooo much of bizarre exageration (assuming there haven't been a real crucifixion) and horrible taste to depict action. Even as metaphors, they are horrible.–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Consider the context. He's against the central and Azami's policy. So being adressed by a member of the central as "a useful one" causes the reaction. He doesn't want to help the Central.
-
Without knowing exactly Tsukasa, who has been nothing but polite and amicable to him, is with central, I find the reaction prepared to be overblown. It is not yet overblown, mind you, but he looks offended. Like if Koby or Garp, or maybe.. a calmed smoker, asked Luffy to be a marine or something.
-
Wagomu was right. Azami really does hate buildings.
-
I don't see where's the big deal with the first two pages.
That said, Soma's glare at the end is kinad hilarious in a sense.
-
I don't see where's the big deal with the first two pages.
I agree there's no big deal there; beyond that they are horrible, imo.
-
the obvious answe would be to decline in some way. so what are the chanes of him acctualy agreeing?
-
Part of me thinks if they were going to go this route with Azami, they should've went full on (like in this chapter; public display of stringing up a person for going against him and going about personally overseeing the destruction of buildins) or only had him be a sort of administrative villain / awful father.
It's a bit half and half at the moment, and I feel like it would've been easier to accept if it'd been one or the other… you know?
-
This is still a school, right?
Laying hands on a student, stripping and restraining them…
Something about that seems VERY illegal. COMPLETELY illegal.If I attended that school, I'd at least try to take a picture on my phone and show the police,
even if Azami would then use some BS influence to get it overlooked. -

or else go read Kongaku Gakuen.:ninja:
-
In a school where every students own a knife, Tootsuki's safety is pretty lax. The fifth seat carry a sword around. Nikumi chop out Konishi's hair. Eizan's men broke into the PSD and try to assault the students living there. Someone getting crucify make sense imo.
-
I know it's just a manga, but I feel like I'm on board with Ukimix in saying that the page is awful.
It just rubs me the wrong way that it isn't considered false imprisonment, breach of trust between teacher and student,
sexual assault (forced stripping), cruel & unusual punishment, etc. It pushes my suspension of disbelief a little too damn far, tbh.This is even out in public view, ffs.
And I'm sorry, but nothing shown in this manga so far even comes close to this.
PHYSICALLY doing all of that to A STUDENT???? This isn't some petty tripe like cutting off hair or walking with weapons,
this is literally grabbing another human and violating them. Which is inherently disgusting and one of the worst things ever.On every single damn level, it feels wrong and out of place.
-
I cannot wait for the time the students gonna bet their hands in a Shokugeki.
The loser will have their hands cut by Azami's katana.

Yes, it's awful and even absurd. And for the worst you don't know if it's an exageration, like a metaphor of what really happened in the manga or if it was a faithfull representation of those events. Who in the world would crucify someone or who would make an academic reform by destroying the buildings of the previous staff and colleges? Of course it's a manga, but it's those events are that idiotic that you even struggle to make sense of it, and the ficticious story doesn't help at all on that respect. But this is no news. Since Azamis's arrival nonsense is everywhere in the story. So no a big deal. Let's hope we'll have more interesting duels…

Okay, good to know I wasn't alone in these views. Those pages and panels just felt like a whole new level of ridiculous/absurd even for this manga. Can you imagine if it was a female student being stripped and hung up like that though? I feel like there would be much more majorly negative response in that case compared to now…. probably.
-
I agree, those 2 pages were of bad taste.
It might just be like those foodgasm pages tho. Just going on in the character's heads. We can't be sure.
