Urban Food Wars: I Rule the World of Dark Cuisine!

Aino has just inherited the little shop his parents left behind when the Dragon Spring Restaurant across the street targets him, forcing him into a cooking duel. He suffers a crushing defeat.

Their culinary philosophies clash, awakening his dark chef's heart and igniting the flames of revenge.

He undergoes hellish training on the Midnight Cooking Street, engages in cooking duels like a madman, and personally trains dark chefs.

Then he keeps battling in cooking duels, spreading his ideas.

By the time he comes to his senses, Aino has already taken control of the world of dark cuisine.

Bright-side chef: "Cooking should be something that makes people happy."

Aino: "Wrong. Good food should be used to conquer people's hearts and control them."

Global Culinary Association: "Aino, your methods are far too underhanded. You are hereby forbidden from challenging anyone to a cooking duel."

Aino: "You set the rules for these duels. I've merely used them to my advantage. Let's see if my diners agree with you!"

Fanatical diners: "The food made by Lord Aino is the most delicious. We'll only eat the food Lord Aino makes."

Aino: "That's right, you swine. Face your appetites honestly, then gorge yourselves to your hearts' content!"
