    Hagure Idol Jigokuhen - Vol. 8 Ch. 54 - Dead or Alive

    Imagine hyping yourself up as an apex tactical warrior, then starting a fight with someone twice your size in a cramped room full of hard, shiny porcelain to slam into. She actually would've been safer in the ring.

    Shin Cooking Master Boy! - Vol. 11 Ch. 91 - Desert Sun

    @regalia001 I'm currently going through the raws. The artwork has significantly improved IMO, with more depth and detail overall. Also, Mao is older in the new series, so he looks more like a teen than the callow kid he is here.

    Shin Cooking Master Boy! - Vol. 11 Ch. 90 - Cracking the Code

    @Adam_Bomb The problem is it's inexplicable that a supposed 'master cook' unquestioningly copied a bad dish and cut up 'useless' organs without any intuition that something was amiss. It's as unlikely as a Louvre curator mistaking a kid's drawing for a Renaissance masterpiece. If Leon had...

    Shin Cooking Master Boy! - Vol. 11 Ch. 90 - Cracking the Code

    Yeah, this one was a squarely deserved loss. Common sense would point out a stir-fried soup had to be a diversion (though to be fair, stir-frying ingredients before stewing/braising them is common), and the weirdness of cutting up organs before discarding them anyway.

    Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without A Fight!

    @superoniichan I'm in the former camp. I feel it's a great device to develop and explore Misora's 'warrior side', thus going back to her character's (and the manga's) roots. It also helps that Rui is genuinely talented at drawing fights because every match has been technically flawless IMO. I'm...

    Sakigake!! Otokojuku - Vol. 15 Ch. 139

    This translator is flat out wrong. 'Myouchikurin' is simply a Japanese slang term for 'odd', and has absolutely nothing to do with buns in itself. They were probably confused by a brand of Daifuku mochi with that name. https://www.japandict.com/妙ちくりん https://www.myoutikurin.com

    Tetsunabe no Jan! - Vol. 16 Ch. 145

    In retrospect, the special judge panel was a brilliant way to crack down on Jun's 'magic'. As he's guaranteed to come up with something outrageous and tasty, the main issue is preventing a win via underhanded trickery. Thus, each of the judges' specialties would snare him if he attempted to...
