Professional kitchens are still a male-dominated workplace. I am a big fan of cooking shows, and it is upsetting to see the rampant sexism that exists within restaurant kitchens. Things are getting better, but there are still plenty of places where a woman will never rise above sous chef...

Re: Shokugeki no Soma 43 Spoiler Thread All three voted for the dish made by Souma's dad. My Japanese is super awful, but it looks like they jump ahead to Autumn at the end of the chapter.

Re: Shokugeki no Soma 40 Spoiler Thread Pretty interesting chapter. The author did a lot of great things in this chapter. One was explaining why Tadokoro, who hasn't exactly been at the top of her class, made it into the top 40. Her recent accomplishments in the training camp definitely show...

Re: Shokugeki no Souma by TSUKUDA Yuuto and SAEKI Shun I wish we got more color pages from this series. I wanted to see both of the dishes in full color so we could appreciate the food even more. Where did the meat from the last chapter go? Souma cleaned the extra stringy fat off of it...

Re: Magi 164 Discussion/165 Predictions If I was the chancellor, I'd totally force Titus to choose between saving Marga and himself. Really try to drive home the point that the lives of magicians are more valuable than humans. He probably knew things were headed in this direction in the first...

Re: Fairy Tail 303 Discussion / 304 Predictions Substituting in Juvia makes a lot of sense. She has fought against Grey's magic before, so she knows what to expect from Leon. It also allows those two to work together as a combo to produce even bigger attacks. Her water attacks can also be...

Re: Magi 134-138 Discussion/139 Predictions I couldn't stop laughing at Aladdin's motivation through his body training. Myers' boobs kept getting bigger every time he collapsed. Hopefully, there is enough fan love for that character that she continues to be in the story longer. I'm kind of...

Re: Toriko 186 Spoiler Thread That last spread was pretty awesome. Seeing a totally emaciated Toriko passing out, while finally giving proper respect to all the food he has eaten up to this point and finally being able to draw out the bubble fruit. Looks like Toriko will be gaining a third...

Re: Toriko 181 Discution Thread I was pretty excited about Toriko learning Spoon, then I pictured him trying to evolve it by doing Leg Spoon and haven't been able to stop laughing.

Devil Style is outstanding. An ability which points out how every shounen manga tends to fall back on those miracle moments to help the characters pull through. And the Naked Apron Alliance was also shining. I loved how they pointed out how messed up their school really is, and how people...

I like that the reason Ajimu has lost more screws is because Kumagawa has been off with Tachiarai. She's so sincere with her love of our favorite Minus that I can't help but smile. This chapter was kind of weird. Even if her voice was replicating the sound of a piano, it wouldn't be very...

Laughed so much this chapter. For those of you who have never had it, real Durian smells every bit as bad as they make it sound in this chapter. The smell hits you in the face like a locker stuffed with dead skunks wearing sweaty gym socks. The taste is kind of nice, but ugh. I made the...

Re: Fairy Tail 271 Discussion/ 272 Predictions There is more to Flare's magic than just hair. Look at how her hair was able to eat through Lucy's boots after grabbing them for only a moment. It either has some fire element to it as well, or has some sort of corrosive acid. Either is the real...

Re: Toriko 176 Spoiler Thread "They even got some work done!" I snorted at that part. Cute chapter, and we got to see a lot of drinks all in one chapter. Guess I don't have to feel bad that they've focussed on seafood too much compared to the other courses. I wish they had spent more time...

Re: Toriko 174 Discussion / 175 Predictions I'm thrilled about the Heavenly Kings all being together, but the ingredient is a fish. I hate seafood so I'm biased against this. When the three of them went after the Jewel Meat at least it was something I could picture myself eating. It hasn't...
