This year’s 27th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Monday that Yūto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki’s Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma manga will end in three chapters. Shueisha did not make it clear, but if there are no delays, the manga should end on June 17. The magazine also promises a “big announcement” for the manga on the same day the manga ends.
Viz Media releases the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Soma Yukihira’s old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Aiming to one day surpass his father’s culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school!
Can Soma really cut it in a place that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate? And can he convince the beautiful, domineering heiress to the school that he belongs there at all?!
Tsukuda and Saeki launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2012. Chef Yuki Morisaki is credited for cooperation for the manga. Shueisha will publish the manga’s 35th volume on Tuesday. Viz Media releases chapters of the manga weekly in English on its app and website, and also releases the manga’s compiled book volumes in English. Shueisha also publishes the manga digitally in English on its MANGA Plus service. Viz Media released the manga’s 29th volume on April 2.
