Goodreads Synopsis:
Three students
survive the harsh trials of the preliminaries, winning their way into
the finals. Which student will be the one to take home the crown as the
winner of the Fall Classic?! Later, the furor of the Fall Classic has
barely died down when Soma and the others are sent off to new
battlefields! What is this new challenge that will test their desire to
be chefs?
Review:
The classic tournament finally
comes to a close in this volume. I missed a few volumes, so it sure seems like it
took forever. Jeez.
I didn’t quite know what to
expect for the winner, though I suppose it does make sense. I also just really
like that character, and his storyline, and enjoy whenever he shows up. I like
his romantic possibility especially, and I enjoyed seeing the backstory and how
it developed.
After that, there’s some calm
down time, and we see several characters practicing their cooking, trying to
get better and learn more. And then, of course, we move onto another challenge,
this one where they each have to work in a real restaurant, which I think is
good. I like seeing how each of them help the place that they’re working.
Though I do admit that seeing Erina working just drives me crazy; I do not like
her. The way she just took over and started commanding in someone else’s
kitchen just spoke stuck up bitch to me, and I would like to see her
knocked down a peg. She needs to learn some humility.
This series is okay, and I don’t
mind it. I even like a few of the characters. But there’s still way too much
food explanation in the endless food competitions.
