Book: Kitchen Princess volume #2 by Natsumi Ando
Description:
SIMMERING RIVALS
Najika has a special gift. She's a marvelous cook whose food awakens people's fondest memories and feelings of affection. Now she's attending the prestigious Seika Academy, where she hopes to find her "prince," the boy who saved her when she was a little girl. One big problem: It seems that nobody wants her at the college-except two cute brothers, Sora and Daichi, who befriend her right away. But the super-popular teen model Akane will do anything to drive Najika out of the school, even if it means staging a cooking contest with an award-winning chef as Najika's opponent. Will Najika's magical food warm Akane's cold heart?
Rating: 5 stars
Review:
I really like this so much. It was great. The main character Najitka Kazami continues to have a hard time at Seika Academy due to the mean girls who think she doesn't belong there. One girl in particular Akane Kishida seems to make it her personal mission to get Najitka out of the school. Her only two friends are brothers Daichi and Sora Kitazawa.
However things start to go better for Najitka after she wins a cooking contest, the other kids are a bit more willing to get to know her. The focus for volume 2 seems to be on Najitka and Akane. With Akane continuing to be a jerk to Najitka it's hard to feel sorry for her when she is going through health and emotional issues. However, despite her bad treatment, Najitka still felt bad for her and wanted to find a way to help her. As well as the Kitazawa brothers.
As a foodie, I love that this book includes recipes for the dishes Najitka makes. You just don't see recipes in a comic book. I can't wait to read the next volume.
