Publication Order of Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma Books

Yuto Tsukuda
Mangaka Yuto Tsukuda was born in Fukuoka, Japan on March 13, 1986. He writes the “Food Wars” series of cooking manga which has been adapted into an anime and has been adapted into languages like Chinese, Polish, and English. Yuto has also written the “Shonen Shikku” series.

Yuto won the 34th Jump Juniketsu Newcomers’ Manga Award for “Kiba ni Naru, a one-shot story.

While he was working on Food Wars, he hit a bit of a road block at one point, and one of the editors encouraged him to take a short break and write another story. He asked Yuto to write a one-off, but he had more ideas and ended up writing a second part. Then, while he wrote part two, the editor asked him to write a third part, assuming he had more ideas. This is how Ao no Rettou came about, which was just supposed to be a one part story.

Food Wars is actually the manga artist Saeki-sensei’s brainchild. He had the idea of a girl eating food, and she expresses herself about the food with ecstasy. Since Saeki’s a manga artist and wanted to focus solely on drawing, he needed another person to write the story itself, which is where Yuto came in. Since they knew each other, things went pretty smoothly. They knew each other from college, as Yuto was a year behind Saeki.
