Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, Vol. 2 (2)

Food Wars! 2 begins with Soma moving into the Polaris Dormitory, where he meets new friends and new challenges, but the heart of the book is a "food war" between Soma and Ikumi Mito, whose family has a corner on the A5 beef production throughout the world. How can Soma win a battle of beef bowls when he doesn't have access to the same high-grade beef that Ikumi does? And there's still the backstory of Erina Nakiri wanting him out of the culinary institute.Food Wars makes me want to be a better writer. The excellence of the writing coupled with the excellence required to compete in the culinary institute comprise a delicate balancing act, and Yuto Tsukunda's encyclopedic knowledge of cooking is fully needed to make this series as good as it is. I can only wonder at how good the translation is, because although the Japanese dishes are fully explained, I'm simply not Japanese, and I cannot fully grasp what the dishes really mean. I'm so excited about this series. *****

If you enjoyed the anime series the manga storyline is very similar. I also liked the added recipes and the extras that they included. I found that it wasn’t hard to get used to reading from right to left and most of the flow of the book is intuitive. I only wish the panels had been printed in color instead of in black and white. It takes me about an hour to read from cover to cover.

In this volume, Soma learns that he doesn't have a clue where the school dorm is at all. After going all over campus to find it, he finally arrives. And yet again faces a cooking trial to be able to move in.Next he battles the master of beef for the sack of the Bowl Society.Finally, the dorm is informed that the first year students are required to go to an overnight camp that includes food battles where each day can see students being expelled.

In the second volume Soma has moved into his dorm at the school. Later on he has his first food war against another student and at the end of the volume he and the first year students that live in the dorm with are on their way to a training camp from he'll. Hope you enjoy!!

I watched the anime. Got really hooked. Bought the manga. Was not disappointed AT ALL. The art style from the anime is there and so is the plot. A definite buy for anyone in love with the anime.

Volume 2 contains chapters 6 - 14 and includes some of the recipes featured throughout. Volume 2 is the continuation of Yukihira Soma's first few days in the Academy, as well as the introduction to some of key characters in the manga. It also features the 1st of many, in what the series is mainly about, Shokugeki or Food Wars.

Everything that made Food Wars fun started with this volume. In the second volume, you have your school setting, cooking battles, the Polaris dorm and its inhabitants, and the icy aloofness of Erina Nakiri the tsundere.

I'm training to be a chef and this is so much fun to read, fan service is used well and the recipe at the end of each chapter is a nice addition

Great book

Seguiré comprando.

attenzione non in lingua italiana

Food Wars ist ein toller Manga und so enttäuscht auch der zweite Band nicht. Die Story geht spannend weiter und das Sammeln lohnt sich.

Great manga
