The current arc is laughable.
Now we have outsiders (besides Azami) who make noise at school. The reason behind it is for quite a ridiculous reason.
And I see the author trying to develop an element of romance here that has been given a lot of code many times.
For romance, I didn't mind the main couple, Souma x Erina. Precisely after going through a lot of fierce competition, suddenly turned to the problem of romance, it feels strange. Also, I don't have the reason to hate Erina. She is another typical tsundere heroine, an arrogant princess just like Alice. Again, I don't mind at all. Erina has her own quality which make her cool.
Many people prefer Megumi, I can't see it more because of the feeling of empathy with her struggle. Megumi has her own story and it's more than enough. She is only charmed and involved in Souma's harem circle. Even if her feeling is true, well, it won't happen. She is already, undoubtedly, a comrade for Souma.
You can't deny what Saiba said in the very first chapter, "A great chef is when you finds a woman who makes you give all your food to her." In this case, Erina with its god tongue. It's as clear as the sky. But I doubt everything will move so fast, because basically the center of all this is food, food that expresses various feelings, emotions, friendships, and competition. There is a romance, but, only for spice things up.
Back to the topic, I want this to immediately switch to the new arc. This arc is nothing more than a warm up. It is better if all students are increasingly focused on hard learning and training as in the beginning. And the real struggle of new ten elites now.
No matter what you see, they still have a long way to go. Especially if they want to be a professional chef.

My god, someone named daywithoutgames really wants to be slapped with pepper. I also felt strange when I saw their lustful expressions while serving food, but the story was interesting to follow. I also felt that there was a lack of parts to really describe the hard work side, when their psychology was really down to earth, and in this manga everything came quite easily. But, don't mind him, don't mind the fact that the author usually works in H project, new reader. Read it at your own risk.
