Prior to this point I always hated Arato and Erina. They were just stoic snobs that existed to put down Soma. At this point, the good qualities of both characters start coming out and you learn more about why they were always together. Great character development and a slightly more realistic look at the restaurant industry than what Food Wars usually provides. Definitely a keeper.
I was about to give up on this series — I only read it for the food, and there are only so many times I can watch a cook-off — when this volume did something different that reignited my interest. But first, Food Wars volume 13 has to finish off the competition from the previous book, in which we find out whether Soma’s everyday cooking will make him the final champion of a tournament that began seven books ago. After 103 chapters, a winner will be declared.Then, about a third of the way into this book, a new twist is introduced. The students are sent out on internships, which gives them (and the reader) a chance to see how a working restaurant operates. They’re paired up and told they need to make a “visible accomplishment” during their week on site. Soma works with Hisako (former secretary to Miss Erina) at a neighborhood restaurant dedicated to Western cuisine in a location near a train station. The place struggles with huge waves of customers based around the train schedules. Meanwhile, Erina and Megumi have been sent to a fancy French place.Not only did the internships allow for a nice change of pace from cooking for its own sake to looking at the details of working in the food industry, but the focus on just a few characters allowed me to not feel so lost. In the “everyone against everyone” cookoffs, it’s easy to lose track of who’s who. This provided a new challenge that I found more interesting to read. (The publisher provided a digital review copy.

It had a lot of funny parts. The story was good. Can't wait for volume 14 to come out. Love the dishes they come up with in this series.
