Shokugeki No Soma

I'd rather they actually discuss actually doing something than saying that they need to. An actual counterattack.

Erina agreeing to do something at all would be a major step forward, actually, because right now she has no agency. Just taking a position would be far more than she's done up to this point.

So I don't actually expect her to do that much yet.

This should happen already, since we are already the point where Alice told Erina that she doesn't have to listen to her father and Erina being like "Oh yeah, I don't have to listen to him" and thinking about making a stand. There's no more buildup needed it can just happen.

Ooh, I like where this is going already. Really hoping Erina has a plan in mind, heck maybe they'll team up a little bit.

What, you want someone besides the protagonist to be responsible for someone's character development? Heresy.

I suppose a thing that could happen is that they talk about Soma's dad, and from that she learns how other people interact with their dads, and this leads to her starting to think about doing something, maybe. Again.

They bond over Soma's Dad and the chapter ends with Erina saying "I have a plan, will you help me Yukihira Soma...."

That'd be a very ideal direction for the chapter and arc to go into.

I don't know how they do it, but the clothes Erina wears in the dorm have no business looking sexy yet somehow she seems to pull them off flawlessly.

You'd be surprised that ero artists can make anything look sexy :V

Anyway, Mangastream is out for anyone who prefers them.

Fair point. I once saw an ero artist make a thick sweater on a girl look sexy.

Soma and Erina can also bond over how their mothers both apparently just disappeared from the face of the Earth (or died, whatever you want to call it).

That reminds me: Azami married into Erina's family right?

Yep, Azami is the one who took his wife's last name. I don't think we currently know his original last name.

I wonder if both of their mothers were friends or something.

Nakamura. It's been mentioned before and some people still call him that.

Nakamura, See I thought we did but I didn't see anything about it on wiki where it would normally be so I figured it was just my imagination.

Its gonna be some Batman Vs Superman confrontation and both of their mothers are going to have the same name

I found some early spoiler pic.◊

Oh wow, I knew Souma likes to work fast, but not this fast. XD

OK, I know you're joking, but come on. Dats liek such a step down from Tosh's art.

Funny thing is, this is actually an edit of a page◊ from Tosh previous series Harem Time.

I like how Mayumi isn't there, but for some reason Ryouko is.

And Rindou for some reason.

So we've seen enough of most of them I think it's fair to ask this; what do you think of the Elite Ten?

Erina is great, Isshiki and Eizan are pretty boring. Kuga was okay, but largely forgettable. Numbers six through three have had very little presence so far and I don't particularly like any of them. Rindou is a pretty fun character but she's hard to take seriously. Tsukasa is an interesting contrast with the rest of the cast, I guess? He's okay. He's a nervous wreck but also very arrogant and self centered once you look past that.

Erina is awesome, Eizan is hilarious in how much of a jerk he is, Isshiki is just there, Kuga is okay, 6 through three are almost completely forgettable, except maybe the loli. Rindou is sorta funny, but mostly just loud. Eishi is interesting, due to the contrasts between the expectations and reality.

Most could be great characters but suffer from the fact they aren't very fleshed out.

Rindou is attractive at least.
