Mazryonh said: I wonder if this trope of "the male characters actually cook better than the female characters" is starting to become popular in Japanese media now.
It was present, in a way, in Code Geass as well. Lelouch could cook better than Kallen, Shirley, or CC ever did.
It has been somehow established for some time now. In Tales of Symphonia 1 and 2, almost all female cast have strange culinary skill while the male is true genius chef.
