How far could you go when making a anti-hero for a cooking manga. Iron-wok Jan tests this by having the most likeable, unlikeable devil like little character as the MC and honestly if you can get down with unlikable characters and are bored of generic MCs then I think you will have a blast of this manga. In terms of cooking, Iron-wok Jan focuses on traditional Chinese cooking while focusing and pushing the envelop with more out there ingredients like eating brain. The food is depicted simply but always tasty looking especially the normal recipes and is up there with Shokugeki with getting you hungry. ... On top of that other main 'normal' lead is a fun headstrong female character who gets you to root for them almost as much as the MC. Honestly I find Shokugeki in retrospect takes a lot of notes from this manga while taming and toning down lots of its more spicier aspects. Lots more here of main 'evil' characters taking cooking at Yu-gi-oh be all end all aspects and honestly it helps have the manga semi-serious tone hold a lot better then say Shokugeki's final arc. Overall if your looking more cooking manga and want one where characters are on Full-blast with interesting Head-to-head and tournament like cooking challenges then this is exactly the manga for you (plus its full translated) so have fun. P.S please god someone translate the sequels I want more after that ending. And if anybody doesn't initially like the MC just know that his cockiness gets much more 'funnier?' as the manga goes on, when you realize that he's just talking out of his ass and hoping his skills can make up with improvising it makes a lot of the scenes so much funnier.
