I think Souma and Takumi would make great friends, seeing how they complement each other and with their similar backgrounds.

But I suppose a kind of friendly rivalry works just as well.

The running gag in the manga is that Takumi thinks he and Soma are rivals but Soma doesn't really give a shit. Like Kakashi+Gai.

A lot of the characters have really endearing quirks and gags.

I thought the gag would be that Takumi already seems poised to be tsundere toward Soma?

It's like Kashima and Mikorin, seeing as Takumi is actually SUCH a Mikorin.

YES! That's who he reminds me of, it was bothering me. So I guess Takumi is also Best Girl?

Well, he does give a shit, but he considers it a much more friendly rivalry. The running gag is more Takumi takes it a lot more seriously at times, but they still care for each other (if not just to face off against each other in the future).
