If you were the editor how would you have prevented its nosedive in quality?
>>291329400I'd have kicked the writer in the nads as soon as he started introducing cooking superpowers.
>>291329400End it while it was good, in fact give him a hard one season time limit and write the ending in advance.
>>291329400keep el padre as the main antagonist
>>291329400Hire another chef consultant and keep the manga about down-to-earth cooking.Also, I wouldn't introduce any new character past the Dad. The original cast was already likeable and deserved to be more than side cheerleaders.
the man did 0 research
>>291329400make an chapter where a pubic hair is found in the soup and soma has to find out whos it is
for some god forsaken reason they thought that going full battle shounen in a cooking manga was a great idea, and lost the entire premise
>>291329436>>291329581These. Also, I can think of very few series where it was thought to be just as good after a time skip. Time skips normally make everything worse.
>>291329879Kill the cutest girl in a terrorist attack that destroys an entire city, the rest of the story is about brutally killing people for revenge. It's a good idea they just did it wrong.
>>291329887Dragon ball was better after the time skip.
>>291329436Same>>291329400Also hire a new cook to ground the series after the first one stepped back from avdising due to having a baby. Author needed to be tardwrangled hard.
>>291329400Stop with the stale as fuck "BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE" formula that happens every fucking time also this >>291329436
>>291329400I would have advised chief editor to let the romance into manga, and end it after Hokkaido with clear-cut winning bowl.
>>291329400Honestly, it just needed to stay tense and grounded with the occasional foodgasm. Azami's entrance was the first nail in the coffin, the chainsaw was the last. Hire a new fucking culinary consultant and have BLUE be an intense clash of Michelin star cooking talent. El Hermano was unnecessary and this was really the first major 2010s era manga to end with no romantic/shipping resolution. It was a trend setter for all the wrong reasons.
I would have stopped Tsukuda the moment he introduced any stakes higher than being expelled from the fancy cooking school. The evil dad trying to take over all of japan's cooking was retarded. Keep the focus exclusively on the food and on realistic romantic/career drama.
It needed better food most of that uncooked barbarian slop is gross.
>>291329400erina's plot killed the manga (her dad, el hermano, etc)
>>291329400>jobs to a literal whoInto the trash it goes.
>>291329797then have to build a dish with it as the main ingredient.
You have cooked some of the recipes have you?
>>291330587They made too many things that I know are gross for me to care about their shit taste.
>>291329436So, the second chapter? because god tongue is there.
The last arc really felt like it was a "me (writer) and the boys(editor, assistant, artist) in the kitchen cooking the next Michelin dish" situation.
>>291329400Stopped atENTEREL PADREorENTEREL HERMANO
Tits
Tell him to make it more like Tetsunabe no Jan, now that was an anime...
>>291331355It's dumb as rocks already, no need to make it worse
