Souma's reaction to the meat prices was hilarious xD
Ikumi's reaction to Souma's phone call, love her <3
Mayumi is pretty cute too :3
So Souma's facing another Elite Ten indirectly :o
Whoa whoa, Isshiki's actually wearing clothes, shit's about to go down.
Looking forward to the battle!

So Souma is indirectly facing one of the Elite Ten, eh? Not bad.

I'm not sure what's more amusing, Nikumi's obsession with A5 meat, or the fact that the dirt cheap price was still way too expensive for Souma.

It really does seem like Mozuya has an overwhelming advantage. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I'm interested in Souma's idea.

Nikumi likes Soma? Whaaaaat? Where'd that come from? Not that I'm complaining haha. Kurase is a cute/funny character so far too, should be interesting to see how this turns out!

Uiharu(Mayu) returns.

HOLY SHIT! Ikumi's outfit is FIRE!!!! Straight BLAZING! Made me wipe off my sweat.

Mayu got competition. Hope Souma adds her to the harem. Nice to have variety.

Damn. I just remembered Erina was just a 10th seat. Having the God tongue made me forget.

I have never heard of Karaage before it seems like fried chicken that has been marinated and covered in sauce. Soma has built a harem and doesn't even realize it. Still Megumi is best girl.

Episode 17 : Vol.5, Ch. 35-37

----ANIME. OOOH. We get to see the girl that Yukihira harassed in the first episode again!!`` HHA. I didn't realize that she'd be a recurring character. YAY. Her name is Kurase. Man. I'm super bad at names again. It seems like he's doing what his father asked him to and come back to the restaurant and "air it out".
Man. Even by himself, Yukihira is pretty good at running the restaurant by himself. Now that I've experience in working at a restaurant I know that it's super complicated. I don't think that I can do it by himself so I am very impressed by Yukihira who is also really young.
Hmmm. Karaage, hm? I wonder what they taste like. HAHA. It kind of looks like boneless wings. HAHA. Yummm. I just had Pizza Hut wings earlier. They were pretty good, mang. That Buffalo Mild sauce. Mozuya is seriously creepy.
Nikumi is seriously so cute. I just love her. HAHA. But her body is definitely mature, mang. She doesn't dress like she'd be in high school, either. I keep forgetting that she's just in high school. The difference between her and Kurase are huge. Awww... The two are thinking that the other is Yukihira's girlfriend. HAHA. That's funny. OH, WAIT. I kept thinking that Kurase was a year younger but she's also in high school, too. MANG. I FORGOT.
OOOOH. The boss is so good looking. HAHA. THEM GLASSES. He isn't in the manga just yet but he might be coming up.
OH, MANG. THE NEXT PREVIEW. ISSHIKI IS GOING TO BE CHOOSING THE FALL ELECTIONS AS WELL AS THE GUY WHO CONSULTS THE BUSINESSES AT TRAIN STATION KANTO. OMGGG.
I kind of like Mozuya.

Ok, I know this show isn't exactly known for realism, but this was just so stupid. Mozuya is a growing food chain and their success is apparently well deserved, because they make a quality product. Good for them. So, why does the CEO of such a company have time a manage a new store or be so incredibly petty that she gives a crap about some shitty shopping district going out of business or picks a fight with some random teenagers?

Because Soma and (future) friends = GOOD, everyone else (especially if they are 'elite' and have money) = EVULLL, that's effing why!

That woman from Mozuya restaurant gives me the creeps. What a terrifying person... Her carefree personality is just a farce, she's a total snake! Yikes!!

Now I understand more of why Souma knows how to handle and get along with Megumi's insecurities, it's because of Mayumi :D They have very similar personalities o_o

I hope that Souma can bring his regular customers back, and... wait a minute, what is Isshiki up to?! Can't wait to find that out too >_>

Thus our journeying Saint Knight returns to his homeland to literally

ZeroDragon said:
become their champion and a defender of the weak from the establishment forces that be.


An empire begins its invasion of his homeland, its leader a puppet of the mastermind residing in the Elite Ten Council. His destined ascension at Totsuki is no longer a matter of mere personal ambition and glory, but of the survival and honor of his land and people. His converted general will now serve as a utility of the utmost importance.

-It was great to see Ikumi again, this time as an ally.

-Mayumi has a similar personality to Megumi it would appear, shy and adorable.

-Souma building himself a harem XD

-Considering how Moyuza is a large chain, I can't see a way of actually expelling them out of the area unless Souma somehow engages that mastermind consultant who's part of the Elite Ten and defeat him in a Shougeki or something. Perhaps the upcoming Autumn Elections will be the path for this? The only way the CEO would possible consider pulling out when she could easily dominate the area is through the persuasion of a confidant, a trusted strategist, a consultant.

They didn't forget about Mayumi. She's quite cute and has lots of competition. I'm still going with Megumi though.

Ikumi is spending her vacation time with Souma.

Plain, shy childhood friend with low self-esteem, you can't make someone with lower chances of winning in a harem than this.
Nikumi would look so much hotter with more clothes, showing less is showing more.

Another episode that draws you into these wonderful characters even more! it's great to see them all becoming closer within their own friendships. Seeing Mito's reactions when Soma called her for help was super cute haha, also love that she looked at the outfit within the window, thought for a second, but decided it was best to just be herself no matter what.

He was only intending to air out the diner from time to time but he found out about the rather grave situation of the Shopping District not being visited that often anymore because of Motsuya's Karaage. Mozuya's CEO being menacing two-faced business owner is already enough trouble in itself but finding out that she's being consulted by someone in the Elite Ten makes it all the more complicated.

Mayumi already got the disadvantage of being the poor childhood friend who ended up going in a different school from Soma and the gorgeous Mito tagged along to show how out of his league her plainness is.

MC harem ecchi show. Meat-meat is pretty cool right now but when did she get a crush on Souma?

Oh yeah, this is their first year in HS. That's a lot of pressure for someone that young, is that what Japanese society is really like? Middle school friend is adorable but WAY out of her league in the harem, assuming Souma will float around the world like his father.

Imagine prepping in middle school for exams to get into a prestigious HIGH SCHOOL. And of course MC is overpowered.

I was basically a fud in middle school, that's asking a LOT of young people. No wonder the high suicide rate. Lucky any survive at all. I guess you would know your talents pretty well by an early age though. Honestly it almost sounds as brutal as the old days. The brutality in their society is inescapable.

I mean, if your family business was based on cooking delicious food as a mid-stream teenager, and you failed, what would you even do?

I thought this arc was going to be filler or something very boring but I'm glad that Nikumi has participation at least and Souma is indirectly facing one of the Elite Ten.

But yeah, go back to the school for the next arc pls.

I missed the Karaage arc. It's a very short, simple, disguised as filler kind of arc but I really enjoyed the fresh setting of going back home and helping out the people who were critical to Soma's growth and abilities to shine in such a difficult academy as Totsuki Academy, his fellow customers in the district and folks too from the district avenue. Ikumi being in a setting like this too is quite bizarre to watch but also nice to see her help out Soma and travel all the way to his restaurant. Changing bit by bit since her defeat against him in that meat-themed Shokugeki.

That is such a flex I wouldn't be able to stop smiling if people enjoyed my cooking that much😁. So Souma isn't going to acknowledge the fact she got punched in her stomach😂😂. This guy needs to gain some type of awareness when it comes to women😂😂. It's 2 funny when closed-eyed characters open their eyelids 😂😂 which makes me wonder how do they even see 2 begin with?🤣

Really nice to see Souma asking help from Ikumi to help him out.
Good teamwork from the 2 of them making a kaarage roll.
They make this 2 boring filler episodes interesting, at least.
Why does this Souma’s childhood friend with no talent in cooking need a screentime anyway? On top of that actually having a crush on Souma? Pls girl, you’re out of his league hahahahaha
Anyway, another Elite 10 member having eyes on Souma.
More new characters introduced. Dark-skinned white hair dude looks interesting.
