Smfh I want the hentai spinoff I was promised

Let Tosh handle that never, Shueisha would never let that happen.

Seems like it. He seems alright with it though. Alice always had top energy.

She looks beautiful, and owns an inn at 25. I wasn't expecting anything, but Tsukuda came through.

Megloomy a shit
Alice a best

I wanted her to be travelling the way she was shown to be globe-trotting in high school, but I don't mind this at all. She seems to be doing well among her cohort.

Also-- she's so pretty and elegant now, but she couldn't lose the braid? Megumi with her hair down >>>>

Megumi, and Alice are both a best.

Imagine trying to pick a fight with Megumifags when Alice is 95% of our second pick. Stop dividing ranks.

The real evil is Erinafaggotry.

weren't you an erinafag or was that another tripfag?

It's almost time for us mangafags to finally be freed.

THEY'RE SO CUTE IN THAT PANEL...

haven't been following for a while, what happened to stinky girl

>to stinky girl
the stalker chick? she hasn't been seen in years

I'm gonna miss this cast so much, you guys.

Truly, deserved better.

She was in the gallery at BLUE, but that's all anyone's seen or heard from her in hundreds of chapters.

I think Tsukuda legitimately forgot about her.

I'm a namefag and I've been saying for some years that Megumi is shit compared to X character(except meat because she is the second shittiest one)

They all died in the middle of the Central Arc as far as I'm concerned.
I miss them.

The half-assed romance is something I legitimately don't care for though.

wow truly best girls

I'd genuinely be ecstatic if he ran over his own series like this.

so Tosh is finally free?

So which characters would you say have the best endings that we know of? (We're still missing some of the Jewel Gens like Giganigga etc)

Same, the only ending I want is everybody's more fleshed out endings except the characters named Erina and Soma

I want a original h-manga with a Hishoko lookalike

Soma/Erina combo hardly ever interacted with Shinomiya who was the chad of the series. By default they lose against the Soma/Megumi combo

Good, and I say this as a Megumifag. The only Megumi romance I'd accept is one Tsukuda is committed to, and doesn't half-ass.

Watertight logic, user.

Also, Souma and Megumi actually had a funny character dynamic lmao. They have a combined brain cell count of 3 together it's endearing as fuck.

I never really cared for Megumi and Takumi together but I see the appeal now

On one hand, I agree.

On the other: GIVE HER THE PRETTY FOREIGNER ROUTE REEEEEEEE

For what? Look at how he developed his main ship. The guy can't write romance for shit.

I don't remember them having any significant moments together that could be used as fuel for a ship.

They would've had the best chemistry ever. Don't even @ me.

Attached: oof.png (256x268, 150K)

Soma and Erina bombed so fucking hard for me (not that I was rooting for them in the first pace) that Takumi and Megumi, who's had 0 love relationship development is endearing now

*smear

Can't we dream, user? Also they had a moment or two in the extra material, afaik. I'll try and pull something up.

Italian boy and Japanese gal? Sign me the fuck up. Takumi would be flustered if caught off guard but we know he's going to be romantic af and treat Megumi good

I hope to fucking god there's going to be more 25 year old Megumi panels

Cause they don't, but it's not like that matters. For some shippers, all two characters need to do is stand alongside each other and that's enough fuel. I even saw one person say that they should get together cause they have the same color scheme-yellow and blue.

I can't believe no one got together. These boys and girls went to school for 3 years together and none of them developed romantic feelings for each other? Hell even if Soma and Erina didn't get together, I thought that at least Tsukasa and Rindo or Momo/Saito would be a thing but not even side characters like them got anything.

No lmao, it's just an edit. They do look like that in the final chapter, though.

I haven't seen a more disappointing ending since. Ever.

TSUNDERES. RUIN. EVERYTHING.

Don't know why, Souma is one of the shittiest MCs I have seen.

shamelessly admitting im an anime only fag for this series, which makes me really far behind.

so the manga is actually ending? for real and for true? do you think they will animate the whole thing, or will they just stop short like spice and wolf? if they do animate the whole thing, how many seasons do you think it will fill?

Who is this ugly chick?

Effing can't wait for Souma and Erina to end up together.

Story became garbage, characters sidelined, whole series is garbage/10. But if they give me one shipping ending, I'll be generous and rate it 1/10.

Erina is short hair is meh. Japan loves her artwork though.

yeah, he started off great, but then he became really repetitive and boring as hell, I'd opt Takumi over him any day

>comfy arcs

the ones where's megumi was useless and was shoehorned into everything for no reason?

for real. The manga actually ended months ago but these are just epilogue chapters, this being the very last one.

No Sorina moment has yet to top this. Embarrassing.

user I...

He was alright in the first half when he had challenges he needed to work hard to overcome, but once Azami blew into town he stagnated as a character and a chef because the plot mandated that he was absolutely not allowed to lose.

Hayama is the mc.

Read the rest of my post.

It's funny you say that but despite Megumi being there, the manga was striving but started to dive the moment those comfy arcs took the backseat

Megumi is a objectively better character.
What do people see in Erina besides her design?

You mean this moment that ended up... going nowhere?

I like early Soma x Megumi, back when Soma was a likable MC.

Their balcony scene was superior as well in terms of both art and mood

Believe it dattebayo

>Hayama
>A teacher and married
Who's the bride?

She's a competent chef who never loses, probably.
Megumi grew on me, but it's frustrating that despite her development she was never allowed to win a single important shokugeki. In a series where winning matches is everything it's a big letdown.

yeah, I used to ship them really hard but not anymore. Megumi deserves to be with someone better

She was fantastic at the culmination of her dad's arc. Majority of fans were cheering as her character development came into full swing.

Then El Hermano and Blue arc happened, and Tsukuda reset her character. We went WTF. Only after the arc, she became herself again. I like to pretend the last two arcs didn't happen. She's alright now.

Also, Megumi's put more on the line for Souma than Erina ever has. Risking expulsion, actually fighting off Eizan's goons to buy him time, being his sous chef every time he's needed a hand...

>going nowhere
I don't get what you mean, as in romantic pay-off? Has any moment in this series between two characters ended in some romantic pay-off so far?

This was great too. Early Shokugeki really was a fun read.

>The cherry on top
Megumi never tried or actually prevented Soma from pursuing his dreams which is what Erina did in chapter 2 and got Nikumi to expel him

Shipper glasses user. You could say Sorina Train Scene, Balcony Scene (the part where he was enthralled by her), dedicating her food to her, etc is tons superior. I come in peace btw, as a Sorina fag.

>that scene after soma saves the dorm and megumi is in the middle welcoming him back

This sole panel triumphs any Sorina scene.

Don't know. We've just seen the ring on his finger from the scans. We'll probably never know either desu

the art in Central-END is abyssal compared what it had before. Megumi and Soma sharing the balcony together plus the kindergarten chapter right after are superior to those scenes you stated combined.

another platonic ship that was superior to the actual pairing. same thing happened in bleach.

> I don't get what you mean, as in romantic pay-off? Has any moment in this series between two characters ended in some romantic pay-off so far?

Yup. Only once there was a pay off, but in the form of crumbs. Souma stares at Erina, dumbstruck by her beauty for one long moment until Erina woke him up. That sealed the deal for almost 99% of Japanese fandom, Sorina fans and the like.

It's shitty writing still, and almost pathetically sad that we had to live off crumbs. Character development wise, Megumi wins the biggest pay off, despite inevitably losing the MC bowl.

Megumi literally has all the waifu qualities

This thread has to be one of the bigger copefests I've seen.

It really is objective user. What's the point of constantly going 'hur hur my balcony scene is better than yours' when both sides love both scenes for what it is? One is a friendship scene, one is a mesmerizing scene. If you wanna duke it out with Tosh's artwork, take it up with him. It's clear his passion for drawing the series dwindled.

>sad that we had to live off crumbs.
You can speak for yourself. Despite not happening, Soma x Megumi had great/cute moments that I can still appreciate.

I am speaking for myself bro. Despite Souma/Erina inevitably happening, I can still appreciate their cute moments as well. It's just that for a main pairing, in reaching this point, it's near unacceptable.

I only remember Megumi, who the fuck are the other characters?

>I heard it was the main pairing for a while
It wasn't. Orihime was the only one in love with Ichigo. The outcome was obvious.

tfw Souma and Megumi have the literal same philosophies in life.

There's nothing to cope, dumbass. She lost poorly developed mc, who cares? We only need happiness for Megumi and that's what she got. Owns an Inn at 25 and helps out with an alumni chef

Just because it was obvious doesn't mean it was good.

I don't know user. Maybe authors think that sparse ship teases are a good enough substitute for fleshed out romantic development because the majority of their fanbases come with shipping goggles grafted to their skulls.

Memegloomy was always literal hot garbage. Best girls were Rindou, Alice and Hishoko in that order.

Lol. At least this is better than Onodera, who had to bake a Christmas wedding cake for her crush and rival. Otherwise, they would've went 'my girl is better off without MC!!!'

Who would want a darling like Tadokoro to end up with a crackhead like Souma lmao.

Sakaki, Yoshino, Satou, Aoki, Marui, Ibusaki

Where did I argue it was good? It was pretty much a standard for battle shonen anyways.

>Hishoko.
LMFAOOOOOO HER ONLY PERSONALITY TRAIT IS THAT SHE'S A NAKIRI BOOTLICKER.

Megumi was just a shitty parasite. Old Souma was the one carrying this shit, since stagiare was the manga's peak and it had third best girl Hishoko as Souma's partner instead of tetanus-chan.

>Hishoko
Huh? She was literally a maid/mommy to Erina in majority of her panels. The only time she had a personality outside of the caretaker role was when she wasn't glued to Erina, but she was glued to her 98% of the time.

>Stagiare arc sets Hisako up to stand out as an independent chef who had traits other than "Erina's servant"

If it makes you feel better Erina almost ended up with her half-brother near the end there.

the manga just kinda glosses right over that it would've been incest

>Old Souma was the one carrying this shit
Not really. The manga did as well as it did for quite some time because of how well everything worked together, and how the story flowed nicely. Good art, interesting cast that got screentime, likable MC you're able to root for, pretty girls, cook-offs that engage readers, etc. Early Shokugeki had it all.

Attached: 1552274428006.png (540x716, 354K)

Megumi's the parasite despite being the one who actually saved her and Souma's asses from getting expelled with her warm-hearted cooking style? The only reason Shino didn't kick their asses out of school was because of her thoughtfulness, not because of Souma's gimmicks.

And she never ever needed help from him after that. She qualified for the top 8 on her own, cleared the buffet challenge incredibly fast and on her own. Got A's after that on her own. Went up against Momo on her own. Got into Beat a Noir on her own. BLUE on her own. Became a globe-trotting Elite 10 member on her own. Asked Asahi to fight her mano-a-mano on her own. Runs an Inn now on her own.

Erina's the one who's a mindbroken damsel in distress half the fucking time lmao.

The manga thrived in spite of lamegumi, not because of her. She was basically just a bystander that reacted to Souma being sugoi. That got stale fast which is precisely why Tsukuda had to mix it up with just as if not better results pairing Souma with other and far more competent girls (meat in the Kaarage arc, Hisako in stagiare).

All of this for one (1) shitty tsundere. Feels bad, bros.

I'm not saying it was just Megumi, it's the arcs as a whole and they were comfy and down to earth, compared to Central and so on

user Big Mad because Erina will never be Souma's confidante or best friend the way Megumi has been for YEARS.

She's STILL his first point of contact.

Megumi was a fucking useless jobber right until the middle-end, where she decides to fucking stand up for herself like what she should've done earlier instead of going 'SOUMA-KUN SOUMA-KUN'

Never even fucking won one single match, and a few where Souma and Erina had to save her. She can go back to running her lol!warm-hearted inn and bake Christmas cakes because she hasn't got enough to stand in the spotlight.

She decides to stand up for herself after the Shinomiya events which was chapter twenty something. That's not the middle-end.

I don't think he called anyone. Everyone got a similar text around the same time.

Those grapes are so sour, user.

Psyren was OK but the ending felt so rushed that I forgot how it ended.

Wait, isn't she on the phone with him? If I fucked up reading the panel I'm gonna be so mad.

Souma at least GOT some good doujin. If you want a series still running in Jump with zero doujin see Black Clover. Ziga has more doujin than Black Clover- just think about that.

Souma ain't grapes. Megumi can genuinely do better.

This is why I keep harping on about Takumi Route.

Mehgloomyfags, obviously. Just look at them (YOU) being so retarded that you can't appreciate the fine irony of reminiscing all her "best moments" when they all involve her being a parasite to Souma's panel time.

even KnY have more doujin than Black Clover. I wonder why, is the anime not popular?

lol I think you misread user. Even Kuga was replying: "Sorry sorry Sooooory. I can’t come this time. I’m just about to depart to China~~~” it shows Souma texting everyone.

Imagine being this mad because the series tanked as soon as your waifu came to the fore.

She still has ten times the personality and looks than Mehdoormat does.

Wincest fag here.

When Asahi became Erina's bro, I hardcore ship it.

Don't lie to me, faggots, I know you've been reading hentai wincest doujins like the vets you are.

I DID misread. Sorry lmfao that's on me.

>ust look at them (YOU) being so retarded that you can't appreciate the fine irony of reminiscing all her "best moments" when they all involve her being a parasite to Souma's panel time.
That was just shipping talk though. Not sole character talk.

Despite Megumi being my favorite, I always found Ryoko/Alice to be the prettiest of the bunch.

By that logic, wouldn't that make Erina and her Nakiri parents even bigger parasites to Soma's panel time?

Ryoko was the prettiest, hands down. Erina can't even compete.

BEGONE, THOT.

They didn't even bother giving a love interest something? Whatever

Erina and her crackhead parents were a parasite to the entire fucking manga. I still can't believe how their shit drama dragged the entire thing down until it got the axe.

JC liked lezzing them up so much.

At the end of day, Megumi is always superior to Erina. Both in look and personality.

Why yes, I do think that Erina and all of her drama ruined the manga. In fact I do think the rest of the female cast is far much better than the main "heroine" and is filled with good girls. How could you tell?

BC's anime apparently does decent enough numbers? The tank sales aren't mindblowing but they're alright too.

It's just baffling though- because if you have good girls you get doujin and even if I don't think much of BC as a manga it has some pretty hot girls in it.

Tosh doujins

Is he allowed to do that?

Oh the things that could've been. On the other hand, Tsukada would've butchered her so it's probably for the best that she wasn't the main girl.

This.

>Shueisha
Nah

There's nothing with Erina's design since Tosh draws pretty girls. She has a nice color scheme with the gold hair and purple eyes, but her hair always felt over-designed and her latest hairstyle looks like something a 40-year-old soccer mom would have. Megumi's hair feels mommyish as well, but has an ara ara mom vibe to it. I just think Megumi looks the best time-skip wise alongside Hisako/Alice.

I talk about megumi getting the takumi route but thank fucking god Tsukuda didn't actually try to shoehorn it in.

The man has no idea how to write romance.

Alice's short hair was Elite, but I don't mind the new style.

Hisako looks like she did in the beginning lmao.

Megumi looks cute af. Wish she let her hair down though.

Probably Jun.

>S4 soon
So don't hope ship confirmation or Erina end

Yes, a parasite. Souma never needed her (even the Shino expulsion you mentioned only happened because he wanted to undertandably expel Mehgummy for being a shit cook, which angered Souma, but he had already passed), and her inclusion in every arc was just forced since she either didn't make any difference, or was there just to job. Even after all her supposed character development and "potential", she only took part in the RdC because Rindou was fucking around and gave a pity pass to her and Takumi, which didn't mean jackshit in the end since she was juts Momo's punching bag. She was also a joke in Blue, literally not even worth showing El Hermano kicking her ass.

>but thank fucking god Tsukuda didn't actually try to shoehorn it in.
Exactly why I was always so against it. If that's the best he could do with his main pair then imagine how shitty Megumi x Takumi would have been done. There was a slim chance that Megumi x Takumi became one of those side pairing that outshined the main one.

Ziga had that one girl with an excellent character design. Can you blame them?

Damn, when did everything went wrong? I just want my comfy cooking manga back. Fuck you Tsukuda for turning a gem of a manga into irredeemable piece of garbage.

Still baffles me to this day that Tsukuda didn't let her win a single damn Shokugeki. Does he secretly hate her?

Being a parasite would mean she dragged the series down which she didn't. We all know which sole girl brought the series down, and the sales reflect this.

She won three-- but they were off screened.

I'll admit I nearly ruptured my sides laughing at delusional Memegloomyfags after that one. You're gonna try to pretend otherwise, but your unwarranted self-assured smugness was hilarious to watch as it crumbled.

BC girl's are in a uncanny valley, take Mereleona as a example she's supposed to be a slim women with big tits but there's no feel to lewd her

There was the central goon she beat for her research society, and the hot spring noir.

I completely forgot about the hot spring arc. Now that I think about it that and the Beach exam chapters were the only decent developments to come after the Central arc.

I don't get the constant put down between Megumi and Erina.

Both girls treat each other as good friends.

Both girls grew in their own development. One from the bottom rising up, one from the top being humbled.

Both girls are renowned chefs.

Can someone explain the shitwanking to me?

>Tadokoro wasn't gonna accomplish shit there.
The only reason Souma wasn't expelled was because of the sheer heart in Megumi's cooking. His cooking was way below par. He owes her his fucking career.

>I Sleep.
People CRIED at that episode, user.

>Self-assured smugness.
Nobody thought she was gonna win. Regardless, it remains one of THE most iconic shokugekis in the series.

It's just shipperwank, user. Megumi and Erina genuinely seem to care for each other, and deeply so.

>Betakumi
>better
Holy kek. Also no, she's not getting any of that either. I hope she likes petting pussy...cats.

To be fair, majority of her important matches were against better chefs. Shinomiya, Ryo (at the time), and Momo. I got the impression that Tsukuda felt it was more important to show the difference in how Megumi takes up these opponents. We can see the difference in how she reacts to Shinomiya, and later Momo. She's in tears in the former, and confident/ready in the latter. It's a shame she never got to win an important match, but she did seem to touch the hearts or at least surprise of all her important opponents IIRC. Her character never wanted massive glory, she just wanted to cook warm dishes. One of my absolute favorite moments is when she cooks a light dish for the judges cause they ate so many heavy dishes.

This happens a lot with fandoms. Take Fate where Saber and Rin have lesbian sex, yet their fans hate each other or Archie comics where Betty and Veronica are extremely close friends, yet same thing. Shippers tend to hate competitors regardless of the characters' own behaviors together. Megumi and Erina could fuck-onscreen and there'd be shipping wars.

All I ever see are Sakura and Rin fans fighting. I don't think I've seen saber and rin fans fight in years. Hell i've even seen some of both say sunny day is best end.

No. As bad as those developments were and how awful both Azami and Mana turned out, they legitimately moved the plot along by being active factors in them. Most of Memegloomy's panel time on the other hand, is devoted to her either standing around to remind the audience how awesome Souma is, or losing literally all her important matches.

EriMegu genuinely good ship. Girlfriends avenging each other.

Megumi was the HEART of Early Shokugeki.

>Megumi X Erina is now officially a couple

Nice.

Erina is still way better looking than megumi. Better hair/eyes color scheme, better body, prettier eye shape etc. The only difference with this latest designs is that Erina's hairdo is awful while Megumi's is generic but serviceable. Also, OG Erina's bangs design was just the right amount of detailed. It only got overdesigned in the Blue arc.

You're not wrong but boy did I fucking hate the "plot" Tsukuda came up with.

I'd agree for 99% of the series.

25 year old Megumi blows 25 year old Erina out of the water for me.

Yeah, they moved the plot so much you could argue Erina became the protagonist and souma was relegated to focus character in her story.

Neither of the girls have designs that really speak to me. As I said earlier, Ryoko and Alice were always the prettiest to me despite being a Megumifag. Erina has a pretty color scheme, but I always hated her hair and Megumi was more cute to me. Now I find her beautiful.

>Lesbians winning

This saves the manga.

No. He just didn't care to show any of the other girls being all that strong except for muh Erina. And this is coming from someone that genetically likes Erina.

I really was hoping that this would happen, and that the cast would meet up at BLUE after a year of traveling. With Soma arriving last from god knows which country.

At least Megumi got matches. Think about the rest of the cast lmfao.

>we never got a valentine arc

wait wasn't el hermano dude Soma's half brother?

tfw the whole series is based in the idea of finding someone to cook for but there aren't any side pairings developed despite an incredibly varied cast.

>7 years for erina to realize she might be into souma

People were theorizing Hisako, I guess.

1. He was only ever in any danger of being expelled BECAUSE he felt like he had to pick up her slack, you dingus. He could have easily just let it go or find a way to appeal her expulsion that didn't endanger his own expulsion. In other words, they got lucky because the plot demanded because if something she did wrong.

So can Tosh get back to doing hentai again?

Honestly looking back Azami as a antagonist was not a bad idea but Tsukuda for some reason turned him into the most saturday cartoon esque villain

He could develop Azami into holding a radical doctrine different to Totsuki but somehow is still as competitive and the hero would teach him there's more than that

No taking the school, no wanting to take over the world, the elite 10 not becoming evil, no the entire school becoming evil,etc.

Tosh said he liked Erina better as the heroine, but liked Megumi better as a character.

And Erinafags are still tasteless horndogs who think tits on paper are a substitute for a likeable personality. What's new?

It's almost like Tsukuda is a shit writer with no capacity for nuance or ideological subtlety.

Erina has been a part of the story since the beginning and was Souma's endgoal from the start. She's not my favorite or anything but saying she tanked the series is ridiculous. It was mismanagement on the writer's part, but if you want to reduce it to individual characters, then Azami, his son and Mana were more responsible for the manga's decay than Erina. She was fine by herself and she was even beginning to mellow out for Souma by the time of the festival arc, before Azami's introduction.

And why were those elements brought into the fore? To give miss frigid queen bitch serious character overhaul. It was inorganic, shitty writing. She tanked the series.

Erina was on the backburner for many chapters, which is why her fans were eager for her arc. She was always apart of the story, but had minimal screen-time. Then comes her arc, and the manga starts its downfall, sales even back this up. Erina tanked the series because what came with her character were two shitty arcs filled with shitty drama that Tsukuda felt was necessary for her character growth or whatever. Not like that growth mattered as seen in the final arc since she just regresses until Soma saves her.

Erina still looks more shapely. Her hairxut just plain fucking sucks. The only good news is that she can always grow it back unlike Tosh's permanent botched lip job on meat (meat used to be legitimately the sexiest girl in the series for me until Rindou's introduction)

>Erina still looks more shapely.
Erinafags only care about tits. What else is new?

Booo, Erina's a dime-a-dozen big titty ojou-sama. Megumi actually has something uniquely charming about her.

>Erinafags are autists who try to pretend she's the best tsundere ever made even as the manga focusing on her drives the ratings into the ground and gets the manga cancelled

Delusional. The manga's heart and wit used to be Souma. Manga got boring as soon as he turned boring.

Peak Erina design. Too bad about Tosh's streamlining, it immediately made her unique bangs not as good looking.

If that's your definition of "annoying" then I'm assuming you don't browse the rest of this board.

Imagine denying the consensus that early shokugeki > later shokugeki. Brainrot, literally brainrot.

Smoke-kun was always a based character in my opinion even though he didn't do much but look cool. Always wanted him to be a major rival to Souma, or him having some epic backstory to go along with his mysterious look.

Not that user, but do you honestly think that majority of the readers prefer Azami and after Shokugeki to pre-Azami Shokugeki?

What's so uniquely charming about her? The fact that she's a perma loser? Her design is basically background basic slut from Toshe's old doujins.

As with several other WSJ manga, I'm going to pretend the final arc never happened and hold onto the good memories. Not even Tsukuda can take that away.

It's that she contains multitudes. At 25 she embodies traditional femininity. Erinafags may not have the IQ to understand these nuances, but that's your L to take. The fact that she may surprise you then and again with bouts of sensuality is what's charming.

jk lmao i just like a girl with a personality

Early SnS was good because of the main character and the premise being still fresh (no pun intended). To say that was all because of a waifubait character that was basically an expectator is complete nonsense but meguniggers are trying to conflate them.

stay mad lmao megumi > erina

i don't get why you're both arguing as if erina or megumi are anything special. erina is the rich ojou-sama autist with family drama(same as yukino from oregairu) while megumi is the gentle girl with confidence issues who tries her best(hinata from naruto).

neither character trope or design is special. both girls will be forgotten by the masses once this shit is finished. not even erina will end up becoming some legendary waifu like say rei or haruhi.

Mito's full dsl used to be sexy. Fucking Tsukuda killed Tosh's motivation, I swear.

I pray that tsukuda cucks Erina-fags with childhood friend or anyone offscreen and lets them join the rest of us in the shadowrealm feeling bad about this shit manga. It would be the best outcome.

Me, I don't really care what happens in the final chapter as long as Erina and Alice and Hisako are happy. Ending up with Souma isn't much of an achievement but if that's what she wants, good. Ideally there will be no Asahi but of course he'll be present.

It's just the usual circus when a high profile manga ends with several "contenders" for the MC's D. Even if the manga had declined in quality and people tuned out they'll show up for the final chapter because that's when the "winner" and "losers" are decided for shitposting. No one gave a shit about Masamune Revenge after the anime ended until the last couple chapters where it looked like Yoshino would win. Same for Nisekoi and all the rest.

I just came around to see what happened to Megumi, Alice, Takumi, and Shinomiya in the end. As long as they all have successful careers then I'm fine. I'm content with the designs of the first three, especially Megumi.

>someone mentioned that it's Erinafag central
It's funny, back in the day when Erina wasn't popular Reddit was supposedly Megumifag central. I don't know if that was ever true or who they like now but I wonder how people find out. Surely they don't actually go there.

If Shino doesn't make an appearance, I'm gonna be so pissed.

Everything's been recycled and done before, even these threads. The losers cry the loudest, then they move to a new series, pick another obvious loser, and then cry again.

Why would they laugh at Megumi for that? The only reason Megumi went up against Asahi in the first place was for Erina's sake.

I just lurked in those threads. There was a time where I would have shitposted about Megumi jobbing but by that point it wasn't even worth it

Dude, you actually liked that backstory? I thought it was so tepid.

Hot take but the best backstory romance in shounen is Ryuuken and Kanae Ishida from Bleach. No, I haven't read Naruto.

I remember being excited about this
many years ago

I'd rather have my cast back than be pandered to by this op mary sue.

>manga basically becomes shokugeki no erina
>sales fall to a new low and it gets the axe
makes sense

>Hot take but the best backstory romance in shounen is Ryuuken and Kanae Ishida from Bleach.
Not him, but what? They got about two or three scenes together. Best backstory romance undoubtedly goes to Kenshin x Tomoe.

I may be ignorant in the matter but wasn't she the most popular character with the audience, isn't that why the story became pandering to her fans?

>megu became a christmas cake
A fitting ending. She dodged a bullet with Souma.

Based Kenshin x Tomoe. I supported Kaoru in the beginning, but Kenshin’s back story blew me away. Never looked back since.

AssClass was one of my all time favorite things to come out of WSJ and I thank based Matsui for following through on his promise to end the manga as soon as he intended to.
Saiki had a great ending, but it was a gag manga that set up a certain plot point early on that allowed it to end at any time the author wanted it to.
Hinomaru's ending was nice but somewhat abrupt. Story ended as soon as he beat the champion with no epilogue or aftermath or anything.
Sesuji's ending was surprisingly satisfying for an axed manga.
I'm currently praying to all that is good in this world that World Trigger follows suit doesn't and doesn't let me down either.

Quality over quantity, man. I know it's a super weird choice but they stole the show for me.

Erina is the most popular character. You only have to look at the Japanese fandom to see their sentiments.

Erina became the most popular character by the time the third poll came around, and we were well into her arc. It's not surprising the Erinafags took over. She beat Takumi by a mere 128 votes in the second poll.

Such pigs in human clothing. Erina was always Souma's endgame, from pretty much her introduction since she was the person he was trying to impress with hus cooking, and most of the wholesome shenanigans you liked happened either because of her direct actions, or a scheme she plotted. Either way she was always the most important character in the manga next to Soma.

Just tell me how many hours left for the full chapter. I need to sleep

Takumi took the biggest L in the polls. Went from 3rd to 9th, I think. In comparison, Megumi went from 3rd, to 4th, to 5th.

What the fuck are you talking about with this tvtropes shit? Fucking hell. They had about three scenes, and the confession isn't a straight ILY one. Shippers and their delusional minds that make something bigger than it really is.

I wonder what an end of series popularity poll would look like. Erina would probably still come out on top.

>pigs in human clothing.
imagine being this mad about a series this shitty and a character even shittier.

Yeah, but Tsukada didn't take into account of the fact that he had Down Syndrome, so there was a lack of execution in that pandering.

>. Erina was always Souma's endgame
It's so hilarious at how terribly-written Soma x Erina ended up being despite Erina always being his endgame-even though Tsukuda said himself he was more for Megumi in the beginning.

I hate that Souma and Hisako's chemistry went nowhere. I liked their interactions the best.

Just go to sleep user.
It's not worth it anyway.

Imagine if Tsukuda latched onto his accidental stroke of genius with the Souma-Megumi relationship. Imagine how wholesome the romance could have been.

>most of the wholesome shenanigans you liked happened either because of her direct actions, or a scheme she plotted.
how does erina connect to the polar dorm members hanging out together and getting to know one each other? explain further

I haven’t read the dessert chapters since the first one, what happened so far? I really don’t feel like reading this shit

He's talking out of his ass, user.

Usually they're either too incompetent to follow up on the premise they've establish or they decide to ride their series' popularity by making it much longer than they intended to. Don't have the evidence on me but from what I've read around here One Piece and BnHA were intended to be a lot shorter than they ended up being.

>ziga
Shark teeth and sundress turned out to be a killer combination. A shame her series was shit.

only "important" thing is that el hermano is actually the half-brother of erina. also the souma parents backstory but it was nothing special. i don't even think we were told how or why she died. now we're 7 years into the future.

EL HERMANO MAYOR de Erina appeared.

Ok, ESL-kun.

Actually, I'm just a newfag waiting out the chapter drop. Everyone on reddit's an Erinafag.

That's actually the true tragedy here. The Megumi x Souma shit I've seen a million times and done better, and Souma x Erina was so obvious the writer put very little effort, but Souma x Hishoko would've been an Ookami Shonen level of happening. Now that was some chemistry.

No one should be surprised. Neither had canon feelings for each other. I pointed this out in older threads, and got waved off. The most shippers should have expected was teasing.

Look at Erina salivating over the dick here. No canonic feelings my ass, if nothing ever happened/happens it's because Souma is asexual.

You can see quality went down the drain since the start of El Hermano arc

How could he catch feelings for someone who was just another part of his youth harem and saw on and off for 7 years liks the rest of them, Soma played all the females user.

So did Souma ever beat his dad?

10 years after Erina made this work, Souma's still failing.

Soma was fucking a beauty in every country he traveled, baby.

He did that in, like, Chapter 1. With Peanut Butter and squid legs.

>megumi and erina both get panels to taste his dish
Tsukuda clearly didn't want to pick between the girls. He said it himself that he was more for Megumi in the beginning.

does beating el hermano count?

It counts because he beat his dad by proxy. Soma said this himself.
t. Tsukuda

lol

WHERE IS SHINOMIYA

If only, now that would be truly based. Imagine both Erina and Megumi running to him to hug him just before they both had a long dramatic cliche conversation about how they're gonna fight for him cleanely and with no hard feelings, only for him to reveal tne fact that he's banging a bunch of hot babes all over so he has no time for their bullshit.

that lanky souma.....where the fuck did he travel? iraq or some shit?

Thankfully user, Tsukuda himself lets you pick your canon ending, so harem is as real as it gets.

That's some next level coping, user.

Cope with what? Hack writing? Fuck off.

In a better place

AHAHAHAHAHA

How is it coping when he literally knew thr character had so much going for them that he decided to retcon his obvious choice at the end, he choked because he put himself in a spot where he couldn't pick because Erina fags would lose their shit.

Imagine reading a cooking manga just for the "romance" that never happened, ever.

Nah, for maximum tears you have to go even further
>they decide to fight it out in one last shokugeki
>everyone there is biased so they need to find a new judge

The cooking part didn't happen either for the last 50 chapters.

sticc

oh piss off. obvious outcome was an erina end and he backed off cause he didn't wanna pick at last minute. fucking hack.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He didn't "choke" jackshit. Megumi never ever standed a chance and the only reason he's blueballing his audience of a seemingly foregone conclusion is because he still thinks he can milk this some in the future. If not with Jump, some other magazine in the future, but if that doesn't happen he'll just say this is the ending he always planned.

tsukuda ruined his manga for a ship he didn't even make canon at the end. he really does hate us.

*stood.

Tosh's final act of rebellion

>standed a chance
Ok, ESL.

>here's how Erina can still win
Now that's what I call coping.

>Megumi never ever standed a chance
I mean Tsukuda said it himself that he was more for her in the beginning. Why would he give it an open ending with only both girls getting panels to taste his dish in the end instead of going full shippy especially when Soma x Erina was the fan favorite pairing? It makes no sense unless Tsukuda himself didn't want to pick at the end.

He literally did all the Erina bullshit and ruined his manga and at the end he thought "Fuck, this isn't what I wanted, let me force Megumi into this last scene..." LMAO

It actually did go pretty shippy user. But it's open anyway despite the Souma and Erina focus, so it's not like it matters in the end.

Full shippy as in romantic payoff aka canon pairing. Why wouldn't he go down that way when he basically ruined the manga for the ship?

I already told you why, he's reserving a last resource trick in case he doesn't get a gig like this again. It's far from the sentimental bullshit you're suggesting.

Not because of megumi, that's for sure.

Because his manga was cancelled and he wanted one last fuck you?

Absolutely coping. If was he saving for a last resource trick, he would have just given us another generation with kids.

Cope.

For old times sakes post the best doujins guys.
Lets remember the story in bliss.

Megumi didn't deserve to be in this shit series.
Her and Alice are wasted on this steaming pile of shit.

I can dig this particular page but just not how we got to it, if that makes sense

What was the purpose of the timeskip??? Like literally nothing happend.

I actually agree.
I hate shipping but they would've made sense as a couple.

The balcony, this whole chapter/scene and specially the kindergarten episode made it seem as if they where perfect for each other. There was a lot of implied romantic scenes and unlike Erina/Souma, Megumi and Souma's development actually felt organic. If the series had to have a romance it should've been Souma and Megumi.
Instead, Tosh trashed his own series due to his obsession with Erina. A real shame but it is what it is.

Tsukuda has no idea how development works. He could never develop a plot, his characters are heavily underdeveloped, and for all the so-called relevance in Souma and Erina's relationship, whatever there is between them was hardly ever developed.

Tsukuda seems to think he can just write things as he pleases, without even stopping to consider he has to properly set things up, and that said set-up requieres development.

How can someone fail so hard at writing? How could his editors allow all this mess? You'd think editors would have a notion about the writing process and guide Tsukuda to properly write his desired story. This manga feels as if no editor was involved after Central started.
