No matter how delicious or expensive a meal is, it’s certainly not enough to really turn someone on. But that’s not the case in the Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.
As well as taking food to another level, Food Wars! is also an interesting character drama based on intensity and a variety of goofy humour.
Friendship, hard work and an unyielding spirit are the basis of the anime series directed by Studio J.C. Staff.
Of course, with the addition of ecchi fanservice, with a sigh that makes you who watch it have to choose to use a headset.
