Cooking Master Boy was adapted from manga title Chuuka Ichiban, which was later serialized as Shin Chuuka Ichiban (真中 華一番!). The manga was created by Etsushi Ogawa, who was also notable for another cooking-related series called Tenshi no Frypan (天使のフライパン), or Angel's Frypan. The original title literally means China's Number One, with the serialized Shin meaning "Truth".
We have been able to source the manga in Japanese and Traditional Chinese from various p2p sites. For more information, please visit their respective pages, or download them from our Downloads page. Please note that our project does not involve manga, although we will support any Cooking Master Boy manga projects by providing raws, publicity, and hosting.
Solaris-SVU released seven chapters, but has since dropped the project. Another group, Nihongo Renshu Dan, has continued from where Solaris-SVU left off, but has dissolved after three chapters. Chinatown KM Scans is actively scanlating the series, and they are up to volume 4 now.
For your convenience and informational purposes, we provide a listing of every available English translation of the manga. If you know of any additional translated chapters, don't hesitate to drop us a line in the forums!
