In Food Wars!: Rising to the Top by Conquering Erina

Shen Lang transmigrates into the world of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, and enters Totsuki a year before the original story!

From the start, a bowl of mapo tofu stuns the Food Demon. He wins over every instructor in three days and is promoted straight to the Third Seat of the Elite Ten in just six months, creating the greatest legend in Totsuki's hundred-year history!

Just as everyone is begging him to take over as headmaster, Shen Lang coolly takes a leave of absence. "The opponents this year are too weak. I'm traveling the world to find some decent ingredients."

One year later, the king returns, and Totsuki goes into a frenzy!

Soma Yukihira sees him as the ultimate boss. Erina Nakiri's God's Tongue is tamed by one of his desserts. But the scariest part is...

The blonde queen brandishes a marriage contract in front of everyone: "You ran away for a year. Now it's time to fulfill your duties as my fiance!"

Megumi Tadokoro knocks on his door late at night for guidance. Ikumi Mito shows off her personal chef's knife and declares her claim on him. Even the Ice Queen, Rindo Kobayashi, hands him a challenge: "If you beat me, I'm yours!"

Looking at the battlefield of jealous rivals, Shen Lang smiles. "Don't rush. There's enough of my cooking to feed everyone."
