Summery:
Najika Kazami, an orphan of two famous pastry chefs from Hokkaidō with a talent for cooking, transfers to Seika Academy over director's recommendation to chase her dream of being a great chef, and to find her "Flan Prince", a boy that saved her from falling into a river and gave her a cup of flan with a silver spoon with the school's emblem on it. At the time, she promised him she would make the most delicious dessert in the world when they met again.
Personal Opinion: Shojo again! Mwa hahaha! *cough* Why yes, I have been reading shojo quite a bit lately :D Anyway, although the plot seems simple, like just a normal cute shojo, it takes a pretty dramatic turn and even though it's not my usual kind of "mystery" it was fun guessing who the "Flan Prince" was ^^ I loved how Najika's personality too and how positive and friendly she was x3 *sigh* If only everyone was like her! I was actually pretty content with the ending too, I really good way to end a great series!
The art style it's self was great! And yay! It wasn't the creepy shojo style! The creepy shojo style, in my opinion, is when things are REALLY out of proportion (guys hands scare me in shojo sometimes q-q) And the best part, they included recipes at the end XD Sure, I only tried one (It didn't turn out well 'oTZ) but still, I think it's pretty funny and cool that they did that~ Another thing that I liked that they don't do in some mangas is how in-depth they went with characters, even those who were considered side characters. Like, I loved Akane's back story.. *is trying not to spoil*
1-5 Scale: 4
Where You Can Read: Read it here!
PS. Sorry I can't find a better picture q-q It's not too popular, so the only pictures I could find were manga covers 'oTZ But this was one of my favs, Najika looks so cute!
