It was dropping towards the beginning of Azami's reign of chapters but has rebounded nicely from what I can tell.

    Daiya no Ace's initial release ended while they were still first years too, albeit there's a new (and frankly pretty good) season or whatever with them as 2nd years so I guess that doesn't count. And the way Haikyuu is going, it feels like it'll end with the main duo as first years still, much like Kuroko. But then again, who knows, that's just me speculating.
    True but sports anime are a diff beast. I'm just glad Yowaushi pedal is still going, even though I miss the third years

    I really wanted to like YowaPedal after they won the first inter high but it just felt like... where do they go from here? I know new team members and drama and blah blah but the initial road to their victory (see my pun there?) was so good that I can’t come around to enjoying the new stuff that comes after

    Well the Manga is taking a weird fucking turn.
    At least it doesn't appear to be ending.

    yeah that's awesome.
    It dawns on me that she's probably upset because her family runs a hotel or something don't they?

    Edit:
    Is the latest episode this week the final of the season? They ended in an okay spot, but I'd love to see them wrap up the Rebel vs Central arc.

    I cant remember where I seen this type of development before but it only felt slightly better than the introduction of zombies or fucking time travel.

    I still enjoy the series though so as long as they continue to deliver, I'm along for the ride.

    So... this manga just took a crazy turn and I'm not sure how I feel about them all of a sudden adding actual super powers

    It's pure bullshit, lol. However bad the manga has been for some time, this is just ridiculous to suddenly add a super element.

    Also our boy Eishi going down like a chump in all of half a chapter. Don't even bother talking about his dish at all. And apparently Takumi has been winning and now losing off panel? They full on shounen jumping the shark

    The manga has been ranking bottom of the barrel for a while now and just barely hanging on lately. So it doesn’t surprise me that the author is doing whatever they can to keep some interest in it, for better or for worse

    Manga is ending in three chapters.

    Is it really that bad nowadays? I love this series but haven't been following it much since the arc with Erina's dad ended.

    It's fine for what it was. It didn't evolve from day 1 though.

    I just caught up on the manga like a month or two ago and it sure doesn't feel like it should be ending so soon. I assume it got cancelled or the author is just tired of it.

    It's god fucking awful. Especially lately when the author tried to introduce "cooking superpowers" which included people using chainsaws to cook, Eishi using a long ass grater like a sword because he's the "knight of cooking", and the current (now defeated) antagonist who's power was "cross knives" which basically let him cook using everyone else's superpowers =/

    Good riddance I say. This shit hasn't been enjoyable since the Stagiaire arc

    Also, we all know Soma's dish to beat Erina is going to be a glorified version of his Egg on Rice dish he originally served her at the very start of the manga. Let's be real here.

    Not gonna lie, I figured it was the most recent dish that would have been dedicated to Erina. Can't wait to see qhat her mom says about it.

    It's gotta be the final form of the peanut butter and squid.

    Ya could definitely see them take a sharp left turn and have Soma beat the god tongue(s) with a putrid dish. BLUE tourney hasn't been great.
