There is a repetitive theme in Japanese LNs, etc., of the all-out warfare at the school lunch counter, the joy of those who emerge victorious, the desolation of those who find themselves bereft of all hope.
There is also the theme of two individuals reaching for the last item of a given food substance at the convenience store.
And the theme of having totally bizarre martial arts competitions.
And thus, Ben-To.
I'd never heard of this before, but it looks like it might be fun.
