食戟のソーマ [Shokugeki no Soma] #18

Volume 18 of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma puts the tension front and center, with a determined purple-haired girl in a pink apron clutching a fan of playing cards while a red-haired chef strides boldly behind her amid swirling cream and a towering cake. The tagline promises a counterattack is beginning, perfectly matching the fierce, ready-for-battle energy radiating from both figures on the cover. Published under the Jump Comics imprint by Shueisha, this volume captures the high-stakes culinary showdowns that have made the series such an entertaining ride.
