Review from first read in 2018 below (second read in 2022 changing it from 5 stars to 4)
Still loving this manga! I actually choose this to read right now thinking it was the least likely to make me cry of graphic novels i wanted to get to this month...I still got teary. Happy tears though! This manga makes me happy <3 And a bit sad sometimes but mostly happy.
I'm loving getting to know the characters more over time, seeing more of Megumi's backstory and Isami Aldini! Two of my favorite characters! Soma of course is as well, and Yuki Yoshino. Nao....love her as a character....am kinda scared of her. Also Zenji, with the knowledge thing, I liked that. Even if I have favorite characters though I do love all of them in their own ways!
I also love how they are all so different and easy to tell apart! I'm not very observant or good with characters but even if I forget who is who (my issue not the manga's) there is characters with who is who in the beginning of each novel and they are so easy to tell apart! I love that! That isn't always easy to find in manga.
Still loving the competitions, the food, the art. And every volume leaves me wanting to read the next one right away, even if i'm trying to space them out (still haven't gotten them all yet).

While curry is one of my favorite foods, an entire volume dedicated to it was a bit tedious. The dishes looked delicious, but all of the info about them got boring.

Having the two different groups going on at the same time added a nice level of suspense to this volume.

And now for the continuation of Battle Curry! π (Which also continues into volume 8 ...)
This volume went a lot more in depth with all of the dishes each person made and also gave some much-needed backstory for characters we barely know. I'm still really enjoying all of the food trivia too.

Another cooking contest underway and the judges are tougher than ever. Each student is showcased with their specialties, many of them the "background characters" so you get a bit more of them here. This series is all about food, the love of it, the making of it, and the way it can be enjoyed with ALL of the senses. I can still "smell" that squid in curry. Ugh! It really gets in your brain. The overreactions of people are genuinely hilarious. Why wouldn't a tasty dish make your clothes fall off? The art is creative, the recipes are detailed. Such a great story!
3.5 out of 5 stars.

βI want you to go see how big the world is, at least once.βUnfortunately, Food Wars! Volume 7 is not as compelling as the previous volumes. The story was bogged down by focusing too much on the secondary characters. Souma barely makes an appearance in this volume, even though he is the title character. Hopefully, the next volume will be more promising.
βIt's finally here, Tadokoro-chan. The day you take flight from your small, small garden.β
