Review
I would recommend this book to young adults interested in tournament arcs and food. The artstyle in both the manga and anime makes me wish I could teleport the food from the text into real life. I especially enjoyed being able to alternate between reading the manga and watching the anime. One aspect that might make readers or watchers uncomfortable would be the nudity that happens when the characters are overwhelmed by flavour.
