食戟のソーマ [Shokugeki no Soma] #26

A confident red-haired chef stares down the reader from this striking Jump Comics volume, flanked by a massive crocodile and a bullfrog — an audacious visual that captures the wild, high-stakes energy of the series perfectly. Volume 26's "2nd BOUT" banner promises another round of intense culinary showdowns, and the cover's almost absurdist blend of chef's whites and exotic animals sets the tone brilliantly. Original story by 附田祐斗, art by 佐伯俊, and culinary cooperation by 森崎友紀 make this a polished collaboration fans of the series will want on their shelf.
