After suffering through a battle where it’s repeated again and again that the opponent is an amateur, it’s hard to read more along the same lines, even though her techniques are slightly more unique.
Well, no, I don’t even want to say her techniques are unique. All the characters react like they are, but didn’t Jan JUST WIN against Taoist Gogyo, who used the same sort of principles with a different name to do things like make people eat more, etc? Everyone seemed impressed by this, like they hadn’t just gone through this a week ago. Plus she uses technology, like the guy who failed spectacularly in competition several volumes ago. Versus technology, which is, in theory, “perfect,” Jan is of course using some incredibly hard to pull off and arcane bit of cooking knowledge that nobody is impressed with. Again. I mean, I guess he is a jerk, but still.
Yeah, I’ll keep reading anyway. I’ve already started on the next volume. The promise of more of that cocky food critic will keep me coming back.
