Goodreads Synopsis:
An action-packed, saucy food comedy featuring one boy’s determination to be top chef!
Soma Yukihira’s old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Aiming to one day surpass his father’s culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school! Can Soma really cut it in a place that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate? And can he convince the beautiful, domineering heiress of the school that he belongs there at all?!
All six chefs in the second bout of the team shokugeki finish their dishes simultaneously, making judgment imminent. In a battle between dishes that defy the imagination, which team’s inventiveness will reign supreme and bring home victory—the resistance or Central? With the third bout looming, Soma and the other first-years make their move!

Review:
We get the results of the second bout in the first half of this
volume. It's a surprise to quite a few people, but it evens up the
competition, and it has some good consequences that the council
hadn't considered.
We get some time as the groups recover and then plan for the next
part. We get some main players in this next one—Soma, Megumi, and
Takumi. I'm particularly excited to see what Megumi does, because
she's against a tough one, and she's always been a little shy but
with great outcomes. I like her and want to see what she can do.
The first part of this fight focuses on Takumi, though it also shows
just how good of a team they make. These three in particular—but
the whole rebel group. They work together more than the other side
does. Takumi is against Eizan, and I truly hate this character. He's
very in-your-face with how cocky he is and how superior he thinks he
is. It's honestly awful, and I really hope that Takumi shows him up
in the next volume. It will be well worth it.
These volumes have such an over-information of food science that I
have a hard time staying with it, but aside from all of that, these
are fun volumes, and I do enjoy the characters, and the art is great.
