I mean, yes, but it's not the most exciting thing to read... idk if this author can do a good story about fashion designers and chefs becoming experts in their field. (Although the reversible dresses from before were pretty cool!!)
I do feel that having desires and interests outside of romance makes them more human and relatable, as fictional characters.

Deadpan and the cap lasses. "Sigh here she goes again." they know her too well don't they?

and thinking of him while cooking... improves her skills? i am impressed. But i do worry about her drive.. what if she loses interest in him.. what will drive her instead?

"Fashion and cooking contest."
They have the same contest for both of those subjects?

Been a while since we've seen that ping.

If there's an award, there's a fight. She's right.

His design seems very traditional. Her seems... schizophrenic.

That just seems like such a fashion-item apron, rather than a functional one.

If you can't bend over forward that little without flashing, your skirt might be a bit short.

"It's like the food you see in high class restaurants!"
Tiny pieces of food on large plates.

He actually said it. Good on him. Bad on her for complaining about an actual concern he had about her modesty.

What even is this manga about, anymore? Maybe they'll all graduate high school and become experts in their fields.
This was always part of it, though.

For sure, it absolutely does, but it's kind of an abrupt change. The manga has mostly been about Saotome unintentionally rizzing up every girl until he gets a huge harem, so for it now to suddenly abandon that and start focusing on character development is weird. Plus, I feel it's hard to do well-rounded, interesting characters when your cast is so large. I think if you want to do that, stick to a few core characters.

Such is the curse of harem. The bigger the cast, the harder it is to focus and remember everyone as well as give them individuality. :aquadrink:
