Yakitate!! Japan, Volume 22
Are you ready for the Iron Chef of bread?! Manga shall not live by bread alone.
England. France. Germany. What common thread binds these three nations together? each is famous for producing unique, distinctive, delicious bread. But what about Japan, home to rice and delicacies of the sea? Is there not a doughy, gastronomic delight they can claim as their own? The answer is no...until now! Kazuma Azuma, a 16-year-old-boy blessed with otherworldly baking powers, has taken it upon himself to create Ja-pan, the national bread of the land of the rising sun!
The pizza-making competition continues as Pantasia opponent Marco makes a pizza so tasty it'll turn even the toughest bread-battle judges into baby birds. In order to compete, Azuma's seafood-based concoction must also have the power to turn man into bird--or at least reptile. When the contest progresses to pastries, Azuma's unpleasant opponent Yukino uses her supernaturally cold hands and a multi-layered con job to reverse all of Pantasia's fortune. Will Azuma's dreams disappear into thin air?

The reverse action is quite discouraging. Was all of this for nothing?

SPOILER ALERT
In this volume, we finally see the long-awaited defeat of one of the biggest foils in this series so far, Yukino. It was completely satisfying after xx volumes finally seeing her be brought down. Apart from that, this volume showed the conclusion of the pizza battle and the tart battle between Yukino and Azuma. It looks like the next volume will involve Meister so I'm pretty excited for that. After all, it has been a long time since we last saw him. :)

Tbh I want this series to turn it around or just end. The conclusion of this volume was stupid and illogical.

This is a pretty decent cooking manga, it was really good and interesting at the beginning but got bored the second half probably because it’s solely just about bread 😂👌❤️

The "reactions" continue at a silly pace, but it was mostly fun to read.

Solar hands, solar gauntlets, and now we have blizzard hands which have the ability to fold ultra-thin butter without melting it. And how come the game's changed with a simple reverse reaction???
