Aiming to one day surpass his father's culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school Can Soma really cut it in a school that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate? And cacn he convince the beautiful, domineering heiress of the school that he belongs there at all?', 'item_description' : 'An action-packed, saucy food comedy featuring one boy's determination to be top chef Soma Yukihira's old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Rather than transplant One Piece characters into the world of Food Wars!, the story instead filters Oda's creation through a Food Wars! lens.'item_author' : , Shokugeki no Sanji is essentially a professionally-created, affectionate piece of fan fiction from the Food Wars! team.

In case this little slice of crossover fun passed you by, here's what you need to know about the story. That's the man behind one of the world's biggest-selling comics dropping the mic, there. On the other hand, Oda Sensei is just like, 'So what? You are going to do it.'' ' Now everyone on the editorial side is greatly perplexed, trying to figure out what to do about it.
