NOTES:

1. THE ENTRY IS BEST VIEWED ON A COMPUTER. IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY OTHERWISE. It has been tested on Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari; they all work fine. It will work on mobile to an extent, but alignment will be ruined and you will not be able to click out of the pop-up boxes.
2. PLEASE HOVER OVER ALL THE IMAGES. The images you will need to click on have a special hover function (which is disabled on non-clickable images).
3. POP-UP BOXES CAN BE CLOSED BY CLICKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOXES. That should make the box fade out.

• STATIC VERSION IS HERE: SOUMA & TAKUMI. For those who cannot or do not want to access a computer.
• There is no actual death happening in our entry. It's just a reference to Souma's late mom.
• Credits go to favicon.cc for the favicon, Ian Lunn for the hover code, and neonbikethemes for the pop-up codes. Everything else has been originally coded by Team SouTaku.
• Thank you for looking at our entry!

"From a young age, I understood the idea of balanced flavor - the reason you put ketchup on a hamburger. I was that kid who wouldn't eat something if there was something missing. I never really understood it until I began cooking professionally, balancing acids, sweets, spicy flavors and fat."

What the heck, the art is so gorgeous, I LOVE THE STYLE SO MUCH!! it's painted beautifully, and it's very... elegant?? it complements the writing and the experience really well in that way. I love the layout, and clicking through bringing up each idea and the flipside of it -- it's a really great study in contrast, and not necessarily a negative, but a true path toward growth. WHAT GOOD RIVALS THEY ARE, AND WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SHOW IT!! Thank you for a lovely entry, team soutaku!! <3

THANKS FROM THE WHOLE TEAM, ESPECIALLY OUR ARTISTS, LIN!! Rivalries aren't always antagonistic relationships, as they often promote growth in both characters ; v ; Thank you so much for looking and commenting!
