Ken and two other Japanese chefs get thrown back into past and arrive in the Sengoku Era (the Warring States Period; 1467-1573). Almost immediately, Ken’s presumed co-workers are killed by soldiers.  The only survivor, Ken, is rescued by a female blacksmith, Natsu.

Upon arriving in the Sengoku Era, Ken lost almost all of his memories; the only thing he retained was his knowledge of cooking. To repay Natsu’s kindness, Ken does the only thing he knows how: cook. After seven months of cooking, Ken attracts the attention of a pivotal figure of the era, Oda Nobunaga.

TV Tokyo has announced that the Battle Royale-like manga Limit will receive a live-action adaptation for the upcoming Summer season.

Limit was serialized from 2009 till 2011 in Bessatsu Friend, a manga magazine. The manga is completed with a total of six volumes. 

Chika brings trouble wherever she goes. Is there a way to help her deal with this issue?

To think it only took Tite Kubo 530 chapters to finally pen a relatively enjoyable love story.

Kakashi-sensei versus Obito — can they become friends once again or will they die tragically hand in hand?

22 chapters in and we have our third Shokugeki of the series. Can Soma keep up his flawless win record so far?

The director is cosplaying once again.

While not necessarily real terminology, The Seat of the Gods (a.k.a. The Main Character’s Seat in the Classroom), is more of a concept that is often seen in the school setting within anime and manga.

Events resume at Seika High for Usui and Misaki.

“Loser Shinjou Maita is trying to get new members for his movie research society club when he stumbles upon angelic first-year Hotohara Shiori. Life seems to be looking up for him, until a strange woman appears in his apartment, warning him that his life is in danger.” -Batoto.net

Thoughts: Although the plot has been attempted before, I like this attempt better already. Halfway through the chapter I liked the antagonist better than the support characters and the protagonist.
