I wonder though how this is going to unfold on the final day. I mean the Aldini brothers and Nikumi started helping towards the end, they hardly can abandon their own stalls for an entire day and I can't imagine either Kuga throwing in the towel. I'm actually a bit surprised that they were able to beat Kuga already on the 4th day, so that makes you wonder how things will proceed on the 5th and final day. I hope it involves Erina and/or Alice and her two minions.
I love it though that Kuga realized that Souma had been building his stall for four days. Everyone always expects you to be perfect in Tootsuki, so that someone would take his time like that, is really a slap in the face of stuck-up characters like Kuga.
Well I made a review about the manga a while back:
You must be registered for see links
, though if you watched the anime, you pretty much already know what it's about.
I'm a manga person, so I personally think you should always read the manga, but an anime person might think about that differently. In the least you will learn a lot more about the story.
