Jadou: The Corrupt Path

Yet a another masterprice

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.
