POST ENDING EDIT: He's done it again, ending the series in a single chapter just as the story was picking up. This happened with his manga Super Food Bowl as well, and it makes me wonder if this is due to a strict publisher. It's especially bad because there's absolutely no buildup, as if he was just told one week to make the final chapter, leaving us readers with a case of narrative whiplash. Well, it was a fun ride I suppose. Let's hope our author has more success in the future.
INITIAL REVIEW:
I was skeptical at first because the central theme of the story is not so much about the food as it is business practice, which isn't want I thought I wanted. However, after the first 10 or so chapters, I was completely hooked. HIGHLY recommended if you like food manga, as it has plenty of that, but stays away from the overdone "Cooking/Eating Battle" trope.

Corporate espionage in the noodle biz. :D I got a kick out the plot. It's presented as a serious story, but is incredibly silly, and I kind of like that.

I didn't feel very invested in the characters as they kind of lacked layers of personality of me. But the art of the food is definitely well done.

The first chapter took a turn I wasn't expecting, and that's good! The pacing after such event went too fast in my opinion. I get that it's a first chapter, but I didn't see any character that interested me. That's all minor though, It is the first chapter after all. But I am intrigued, so I may keep reading it. It gives me food wars vibes. Seems like it could be an interesting series, and making ramen shops the main setting makes it 100x more interesting!

Old school art style and interesting start. I'm unsure after the first chapter if it will be a slice of life, or change to something else. I did enjoy how the whole chapter was used to do some world building and set up the scene for further chapters. I'll definetly be continuing this one to see where it goes.
