You don't have to have them as your favorite, just state your preference and reason on why you think one of them is better than the other. If wanting one of them with Souma is your reason, then that's accepted as well.

Note - Bashing isn't allowed. If you don't like one of them, simply say so. No cursing or any rude words.

Personally, I like Megumi a lot better. She's cute, what she lacks can be made up with some good chara development. I want her to become more confident and all badass. Erina is a bit too much of a tsundere for my taste. Too proud and very dishonest. I hope she improves tho.

Harem route, of course. Is there any other way?

Out of those two though, I prefer Megumi.

This reminded me, I didn't include other girls cuz they haven't been introduced properly yet. These two are main heroines anyway. If we have no poll on best girl by the end, I will be sure to make one.

For main girl Erina didn't get many screen time which is mocked by Alice.

Megumi. I prefer her shy, innocent, and timid personality to Erina's cold, condescending, self-righteous personality. Also, I really like Megumi's development in the manga. She's changed quite a bit since she was introduced while Erina still is almost the same person she was at the start.

The latter is true in my case, and even then, Magumi looks better than Erina for most of the time imo.

Easily Megumi...I can handle being tsundere and everything but you cant expect what she did to Souma with just being a tsundere,it was just plain mean and evil...So she lose in character department(so far at least),also Megumi is cuter than Erina...Easy decision imo...

I think he knows that and PS, she stopped being dependant on Souma in the end of the second arc which is like Chapter 30 something like that

Hence ''The things I seen.''

the fact that she was really dependant on Souma in the beginning contracts greatly with how she is now and how she is becoming more and more independant.

The problem with this is that Naruto is completely different from Naruto in Naruto and Hinata doesn't have this shiness towards Naruto unlike Hinata from Naruto who only is sh towards Naruto. This hinata is only shy when it comes to cooking and not to forget that Hinata from Naruto has little character development whereas here, this character is the most developped character in the series.

In the end, they are different characters, Megumi shyness is different from Hinata shyness and their personality beside the shyness is very different. Souma and Naruto...do I even have to say anything?

But Naruto should marry Hinata, JS

Don´t forgett that this is a character driven story, even with all the cooking it´s a slice of life show and no battle shounen. No character development= no show.

I´ll attach my prediction to the final pairings to one event.
Souma has seen Tadoroko naked, it´s a common writing tool for manga to make the "heroine" get attached to the guy (marry him) who has seen their "skin". Tadoroko herself mentions that right after (Sorry Mom, I cannot marry anymore).At least for now it looks that there won´t be much "mutual romance" but it will get cockteased throughout the story. Tadoroko is the other extreme cliché besides the Tsundere, the shy girl. The end of the story will focus around who Souma actually wants. Another writing cliché, Souma is a Ying he´s masculin agressive red haired hothead. Tadoroko is Yang she´s feminime calm peaceful bluehaired cool person.
Erina and Souma will end up as good friends, who respect each other and the whole scene switch with his Dad is just a huge troll.

pretty confused by this but I agree. Megumi, while being a "shy" girl, is unlike other typical "shy" girls becuase for one she's only shy when it comes to cooking and secondly because she grows out of her shyness and becomes her own badass person. Also Megumi and Souma have some nice chemistry.

The joke is that the similarities between the characters are there at least on surface level.
I´m saying by no means that it´s inspired since they just use typical shounen tropes.

But having read a bunch of shounen manga including 2 harem I can categorize the females by their cliche counterparts.
Nikumi is the fanservice ( big bro) female. She´s kinda in love with Souma but they don´t compliment. Then there is the childhood friend, which tends to get lost through the distance (friendzoned), the tsundere (hot bitch) who will be the main cocktease and the shy one who is the main counter to the tsundere (the cute girl). The others are the calm one, the hyper energetic one, that pushes the shy one, the school council president (secretary).

By the end probably everyone with some relevance will be paired up, even swirly glasses has a girlfriend already. And we all know how Swirly Glasses get´s treated usually.

There was 0 romance in Ranma 1/2 as well literally zero.
Still by the end it was a Harem of 3 consistant girls and occasional new ones showing up.
Kenichi is a pure battle/echi shounen, still there were besides the "love interest heroine" 4 others temporarely interested in the MC and 2 consistant.

Food wars isn´t a genuine battle manga, it´s a Harem in disguise. When it takes just 50 chapters to introduce 4 potential relationships, with girls constant blushing around Souma and the father claiming that the goal of the story is to find a girl to cook for her, the harem is just made obvious.

The Food battles are just a cheap way to disguise it as a battle shounen.

In all honesty though I am not a Harem fan, it´s a genre I despise for several reasons.
But is there one Harem, where the guy actually takes advantage of it and it´s not some stupid bullshit back and forth till the very last episode,
Where the main pairing comes together for a single kiss?

And no I don´t count school days I´ve seen 2 hillarious reviews about it and I believe I´m better off without watching it.

It´s actually pretty common that the shy girl is more likeable than the tsundere, in a shounen manga. Look at Naruto, Hinata´s fanbase is severly bigger than Sakura´s.
It´s also written by a man, if it was written by a female the tsundere may had more attention.

I don´t know about women, but most men and I´m being sexist here, prefer feminim cute women, not cocky overconfident women (that´s perceived as bitchy).
On top of that Erina had severly less screentime, the little she had she behaved like some arrogant spoiled brat, the one way to increase her fanbase would be through explaining her character.

Maybe in naruto's case...but in the others shonen manga I read the tsundere almost always has the biggest popularity. The first one who pop in my mind is Hayate no gotoku. Hina and Nagi are like idk why the most popular by a mile.

Putting the subjectivity of likability aside, Megumi has more screen time, character development and is closest to Souma.
While in terms of cooking skills however, Erina is far superior but..

No you're correct. The only reason Megumi is winning because a lot viewers hate Erina just because she's displayed as a bitch more often than not being one. Lol. If she started throwing out her 'dere' expressions more and less of her 'tsun', I'm sure she'd rack in more points.
