Book Review: Kitchen Princess Volume #3 (Manga)


Book: Kitchen Princess volume #3 by Natumi Ando

Description:

Najika's life just gets more and more difficult. The diner where she works may close, her jealous classmate is trying to drive her out of school, and now she has to return home to care for her ill guardian. Will Najika go back to her beloved Seika Academy or just stay home forever?



Rating: 4 stars

My Review:

This is a very heartfelt series. Najika has to be one of the nicest people around and you would think she wouldn't have any problems with the kids at school. In the third volume, the kids at school for the most part have started to be nice to Najika. All except the most popular girl Arkane's two minion friends that is.

Since, Arkane was no longer bullying Najika, her two friends decided they would deal with Najika instead. One of the girls tried to get her father, a member of the board for the academy to use his influence to have the student restaurant where Najika works closed down. With surprising advice from Arkane, Najika decided to fight back to save the restaurant from closing.

Another story line in this five chapter volume had Najika going back home to the orphanage because the care taker had become sick. Along for the trip were her friends, brothers Daichi and Sora. I like this story because not only were they there to help her former care giver but also a little boy who recently arrived at the orphanage.

The third volume ends on a cliff hanger with the story line that has Arkane starting to become jealous of Najika and doing something that's sure to cause problems in the next volume. Which I'll be looking forward to reading.
