"Disrobings" in this volume: 6. I should really stop reading this series on the train.

Really loved seeing Soma’s passion for learning all kinds of different ingredients that could or wouldn’t work. Some of the banter got to be a little much for me though, hence the docking of one star. I wonder how Hayama will react to Soma’s dish...

It always makes you angry and disappointed when you have so much passion and effort into something to impress someone that you respect or admire all these time and you hope he will have the same thoughts or passion as you but actually he doesn't take you into account.

By the second volume, I've come to a point where the fan service doesn't make me uncomfortable anymore. I'm able to ignore it and focus on the plot, which is quite interesting. I like that there are recipes for the food prepared in the Shokugeki. Despite not being able to cook them because I'm a vegetarian, I still loved reading the recipes since it is fun and intriguing to learn about food made in a different country. This manga has makes me want to dine in an authentic Japanese restaurant.

I especially enjoyed this volume of the story, both for the cooking side of the story, as they 'walk the umami tightrope' and deal with the complexities of cooking bear meat, and for the revelation of the deepest cooking motivation there is at the end of the book.
