Review of 'Food Wars!, Vol. 1: Shokugeki no Soma' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Although it works really well, it feels extremely intrusive. Right from the start, we’re thrown into the deep end with the squid. Although there are a few chaps in the story, it’s mostly women doing (usually compromising) foodgasm, the almost constant panty shot angles, and the objectification that quickly becomes uncomfortable. While the story is impressive, it becomes a bit too much for me, especially in a contemporary setting. I’ll give subsequent volumes a pass.
