His part in the romance is more subtle and downplayed, but it's there.

In the manga, but not in the anime, which is the complaint. "Read the manga" never excuses any lapses in the anime. Even if the anime had this "tiny sub-plot," it's not enough if it can only be fully understood if you've read the manga and know what you're looking for.
I mean aside from the Les Dessert epilogue chapters, I haven't read the manga at all. I got all that just from watching the anime, and Les Dessert just being "If you still had doubts, here's the biggest possible hint we can give you without just saying it."

Finally seen it all and... yeah... That sure sucked.

Hardly or next to no attention to any cooking. Sometimes no food shown whatsoever. It's like they forgot what made this appealing and triple-down on the worst aspects. Noir was lame as heck. That finale was atrocious as was every resolution.

I know it's the manga's fault , but what happened? Was he forced to wrap things up quickly? I saw comparisons to Bleach, but Bleach was far more consistent and entertaining. I don't even know what happened here. Bleach felt rushed and couldn't wrap up all its threads. Food Wars seems to have just run out of ideas.
