This "Totsugeki Ramen" was placed in SHONEN JUMP 1970. The painting is rougher than modern comics. Perhaps it was probably the world's first "food manga" as well as a fighting series.

Nowadays, even in the TV industry, there are always multiple stations, including programs such as "food programs" and "food-themed corners" within a week. Especially, "Ramen" in the title of this manga is said to be a moneymaker theme that has a high audience rating when it comes to program theme.

The main character, Ayuzawa Nishiki, is a movie actor. His father is a ramen chef. He's throwing out the movie actor's seat and fighting with ramen to beat his father's enemy who was suicideed despite having won the contest.

Don't expect gourmet manga with recipes like these days in this "TotsugekiRamen". This is Action entertainment with ramen. Read it, crush it, and taste it.

There are Ramen stores called "Togetsugeki Ramen" in Japan. But Was it named after this manga?
