The cooking challenge begins in the Iron Wok Jan! anime in July

Read...
A few months ago, we introduced the anime Iron Wok Jan! on our pages, an adaptation of the manga of the same name that adds to the list of series awaited this summer.
The anime is produced by TROYCA studios, directed by Ei Aoki (Fate/Zero, Aldnoah.Zero, Girls Bravo), written by Makoto Uezu (Assassination Classroom), with Masako Matsumoto as character designer and chief animator, Atsushi Okuda and Chihiro Hanamura directing the cooking scenes, and Tomoki Kikuya (Bocchi the Rock!) composing the music.

Author Shinji Saijyo published the original manga from 1995 to 2000 in the Weekly Shonen Champion magazine.

Iron Wok Jan! manga (orig. Tetsunabe no Jan!) centers on a brilliant young chef named Jan Akiyama, who works at a top class restaurant where he is constantly challenging Kiriko Gobancho, the granddaughter of the restaurant's owner and a great chef in her own right. While Kiriko believes that food should be made with the customer in mind, Jan believes that cooking should be used for competition.

Expected in July on the TV Tokyo channel and affiliates, here is the new promo:
