I can talk a lot more about this but it's pointless, I've not had a book take a nose dive like this since I watched Game of Thrones' final season. To have Joichiro lose off panel and so easily is stupid when this entire world has been set up for him to be the best, and yes the writer is trying to show how awesome Saiba is but honestly that does not matter, the father son relationship and the entire story of the series matters and this action itself is a big fuck you to that main plot.
The tone was light it was fun and it was hopeful and with this sudden noir turn the book has turned nasty and the tone has shifted completely. The third is to experience all the foods in the world. The secondary goal was for Soma to find a woman that was worth cooking for. This direction makes no sense when this series from the first chapter has always been the idea of Some wanting to beat his father, he's lost 490 times and his dream and is goal was to beat his father and become the chef at Yukihira.
I thought the start of Megumi and SOma going to a hot spring town was a nice little breather and that was the point of this next story, to decompress but nope, the moment the noir stuff happened I know that this book just took a dive off a cliff. After that the world just complete gets off the rails. Soma as a first seat I can understand if people are allowed to challenge him, but a 16 year old woman as the Headmaster is stupid and makes no sense and immediately breaks the world logic of the world. Story: The end of the team battle arc is here and it is here that the logical leaps begin to not make sense at all. The pieces that this story relies on is also used incorrectly with Joichiro who has always been the peak of the mountain for this entire world suddenly just a tossaway, it's trying to sell and create Saiba even as something more fierce but that completely knocks down the entire world building that's been done before and changes focus. I could easily have seen the book being more international cooking competitions and even schools from other countries but to shift towards a noir theme makes the world off kilter and off. The pieces that are newly introduced make no sense and changes the tone of the entire book. The world building here is absurd and ridiculous not in the good way and this is the start of when things start going arwy.
World: The art is fine, but there is a slight change in the linework that feels different and like it's not the same person.
