Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't get this. He still needs to beat Eizan's cooking. All he's been doing is trying to find a way to actually make it into a contest, instead of a completely rigged game. He clearly had a plan for his dish, what he didn't have a concrete plan (at first) for was getting the judges to try his food. And he clearly has a plan for that now

Actually he had no plan at all he just made food and taunted Eizan and the judges about it and it worked for no real reason. If Soma had actually known anything about the tendencies of the judges or Eizan it would be different. He basically just Leeroy Jenkins'd it and got away with it.
 
Soma 146

I'm not a fan of this at all. It took the most obvious route it could have. How boring.

BokuHero 70

Is the customary Shonen training now to go fight big animals in the woods?

BokuHero Vol. 6 Omake

lol at horikoshi designing Gran Torino around Yoda.

From what I see he's betting his honed cooking skills against Eizan.

It doesn't mean he's winging it without a reason, he's doing it against someone who (as told) spent a large part of his school life managing companies, making profits instead of cooking like most of the other students. Doesn't mean Eizan is weak, but merely Soma taking advantage of that chink in his armor.

I'd rather Soma win in this case, in fact I think it's pretty cheap if Eizan won instead.

No time to rest. I like this new duo though.

Missed u guys ����

Hey there.

Nobody's arguing that Soma should lose. The complaint is about Soma's lack of any sort of proper strategy and managed to defeat Eizan's rigging of the shokugeki because lolshonen. This makes for an incredibly boring match.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see it as boring then

This would be all well and good if Soma actually knew anything about that. Imagine if Soma showed up to the Election finals and just said "my fish sucks but my dish is so much more delicious its competitive." That would have been dumb. Instead he analyzed his opponent's strengths and determined he couldn't beat them that way and found an alternative preparation that would overcome his inability to select the best ingredients.

This is the cooking equivalent of Natsu breathing even more fire to beat a fire-resistant guy.

thought it would be more novel than funny but was pleasantly surprised to laugh a few times
 
Seven Seas licenses My Girlfriend is a T-Rex

Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce their acquisition of an all-new, totally different type of monster girl series: My Girlfriend is a T-Rex, by Japanese author and artist, Sanzo.

In a world where humans live side-by-side with anthropomorphic dinosaurs, Yuuma Asahikawa is a young man looking for a fresh start in life. It’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for” when Yuuma begins dating Churio--a gorgeous Tyrannosaurus Rex with a ferocious appetite.

Follow the ups and downs of Yuuma and Churio’s bizarre romance as they spend their daily lives together. As Churio’s vicious claws, reptilian tail, and razor sharp teeth hinder even the simplest of activities together, will Yuuma, let alone their relationship, survive?

Based off of all the interactions they've had up to this and during the shokugeki, even though it went pretty much how everyone thought it would, I think Soma actually had a plan. Soma evaluated his opponent and was able to read how he would react.

Basically, his plan was to provoke the shit out of his opponent, since he knew Eizan wouldn't take any insults coming from an "inferior" lying down, to the point he or the judges tasted his food. Then he would actually have to beat Eizan with his cooking.

I only say this because up to this point, Eizan has pretty much just been "you are so much worse than me" and "i will end you" and "you suck" to Soma. Even a brick would be able to tell this person could be easily provoked. Pride, arrogance, and all that stuff.

Just IMO though.

Eijun kun got cool,but as usual gets the Kuramochi-senpai kick, lol.

Maezono got the best hit thus far.

So I really enjoy Dungeon Meshi.

I'm not sure I can encapsulate what it is exactly that I enjoy in easily comprehensible language. It just all around makes me smile. I like the characters and I like what they're doing and I like that it doesn't take itself seriously. I guess that's sort of comprehensible.

So on that note... Any recommendations for things of a similar nature?

Tomorrow or rather three hours to go, I wonder how many chapters will he make this last.

Also nagisa mom changed sides too fast, I thought she would have been a bit more angry about it.
 
Yeah. I really liked that subplot but her being okay with him and him with her and "BUT PARENTS REALLY ALWAYS LOVE YOU" got way too Japany and shoneny way too fast. I was holding out hope that the author of Neuro would stick to some dark guns but I guess since ASSASS is more shoneny that he didn't want it to be as dark.

I just really REALLY hate parent worship culture. "My dad beat me to death but it was due to secret love! *reconcile* Parents always mean well, respect them."

Just noticed comixology has some first volumes of manga for 99 cents. Grabbed Say I Love You vol 1.

Got me wondering what main manga publishers are on comixology. Theres kodansha and Viz (though basically nothing there for me due to region locks).

Haikyuu!! 185

Megane Oikawa what a surprise. Hes a grear analyst, and he gave updated scene of Karasuno crows in the city.

Tsukki running on the court is great improvement I thought he would spike. I hope he does his dump shot though.

No more timeouts, the end is soon.

i saw it in the app update, its probably a profile thing on comixology

Found it.

Though I seem unable to access kindle purchases through comixology. After merging I bought a cheap kindle manga to try this out, but so far at least its not accessible via comixology. Wonder why.
