posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website of the anime adaptation of Yūto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki's Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma manga began streaming a promotional video for the anime's recently announced second season on Monday. The video introduces the anime's characters.
The first anime season aired for 24 episodes from April to September. Crunchyroll streamed the first anime adaptation as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks licensed the series for North America.
An event anime special about the Aldini brothers also screened at the Jump Special Anime Festa tour, which toured nine cities in Japan in November. It will get a DVD release with special editions of the manga's 18th volume on May 2. Pre-orders for the special edition end on February 29.
The manga centers on Sōma, who works with his dad at his family's restaurant. His dad is a culinary master, and he often hosts cooking battles with his father. His father then enrolls him in an elite culinary school that is very difficult to enter, and the graduation rate is only about 10 percent. Shueisha published the manga's 15th compiled volume (pictured at right) on October 3, and will publish the 16th volume on January 4.
Viz Media publishes the original manga in North America, and it published the ninth volume in print on December 1. The company is also simultaneously publishing new chapters in English digitally as Shueisha publishes them in Japan.
The Shokugeki no Sōma: Yūjō to Kizuna no Hitosara (Shokugeki no Sōma: The Dish of Friendship and Bonds) Nintendo 3DS game shipped in Japan on December 17.
