Manga Meets Cooking submitted by skcramer on July 15, 2013, 8:45pm Orphan Najika loves to cook and transfers to the Seika Academy to find the “prince” who first inspired her to cook, but fitting in at her new school proves to be a challenge as Najika is quickly rejected by her follow classmates and finds herself torn between two potential princes, brothers Sora and Daichi. This shojo magna, a style of magna aimed at young girls and focusing on character-driven storylines, is unique because of its focus on cooking. Each chapter incorporates a different dish with recipes for those dishes included in the back of the book. The illustrations compliment the story nicely with expressive characters drawn in the traditional magna style. Also keeping in the magna tradition, the book reads from right to left. Readers who have enjoyed the popular Fruits Basket or who enjoy shojo without the fantasy elements may wish to check out this title.

Yum! submitted by Bookbird on July 29, 2013, 12:58pm A really good book. Bonus: Recipes!
I liked how the main character uses cooking/her talent as a way to express herself. Funny bits are included too:)
