I mean in how it goes into such detail about the food and the fact that it's also a Shonen Jump Manga, It feels like Toriko would love to taste them.
Imagine what his Foodgasm would like in this series.
Going into that much detail about food is fairly common in cooking manga, it's not something that's exclusive to Toriko.
I just take issue with the statement "It's basically Toriko without superpowers" because the two series are, aside from the focus on food, are very different. Especially when one considers Soma is closer to the sports genre, while Toriko is a battle manga dresses up with food.
I don't' see what the big deal is.
But whatever.
This weeks chapter came out. Training from Hell ahoy.

It's a big deal because it's misinformation. It would be one thing if it was just trivial or minor details but you're describing an entire work here. Saying it's "basically Toriko without superpowers" is a bad way to describe the series, that's what I'm saying.
I'm not really pumped up for the Training from Hell arc, but I'd like to see yet another smug guy get whupped.
I'd like it if the name of the camp isn't ironic, and copping an asshole attitude will get you "fired" because that's what would happen in a real restaurant, where getting along with your co-workers is a vital part of making the kitchen work.
Yes, smug guy thinks he's competing against our hero, so puts his effort into "defeating" him. Only to find out that "winning" isn't the point.
Finally. I was wondering when she'd show up again. And he almost completely avoids the typical Accidental Pervert thing too.
I'm sure that she won't end up being gone for long, if Souma has anything to say about it.
Watch SymphogearIt won't, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't.
I'm not really sure of what purpose she serves in the story, to be honest. It's not like there's romance to speak of (yet), and the crew at the dorm hasn't really been developed enough yet to justify keeping her as the Team Pet or something.

This needs a thread, if it doesn't have one.
But man, this manga.
It' basically Toriko without superpowers, focuses on the cooking aspect of food more, with The Beautiful People as opposed to cartoony ones, and with hilariously orgasmic food reactions.
I love it so far already.
