CATDOLL: Creates a New Glory, Sales of Shokugeki no Soma Manga Exceed 11 Million Copies

As early as June this year, when the 19th volume of the "Food Wars! Soma" manga was released, the official revealed on the cover that the sales volume had exceeded 10 million copies. When the 21st volume of the manga was released recently, this number had grown to 11 million.

In the 21st volume of the manga Shokugeki no Soma, the official website clearly stated that the sales of the manga have exceeded 11 million copies, which means that the combined sales of volumes 19 and 20 have exceeded 1 million. Although this number looks impressive, some readers believe that the sales should have been higher given the level of JUMP works, and the current lack of momentum is entirely due to the slow plot.

In the recent plot of Shokugeki no Soma, the commander-in-chief, Tsukiji Nakiri, dismissed the Ten Great Masters and appointed new ones, which was a bit careless and contrary to the original setting. In addition, the despicable methods used by the examiners in the promotion exam were too childish, and there were some big loopholes in the plot. These are the reasons for Shokugeki no Soma's decline in ranking and unsatisfactory sales. So in the next comic book, can the plot of Soma vs. Hayama drive sales back up? Let's wait and see.

"Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" is a work written by Yuto Tsukuda and illustrated by Shun Saeki. The story tells the story of Soma Yukihira, who has been running a small restaurant with his father since he was a child and enters "Totsuki Academy". The original manga was adapted into a 24-episode TV animation in 2015, and the second season of the animation began broadcasting in July 2016.
