Kitchen Princess

I remember so vividly bawling my eyes out at a pretty sad scene in this manga. Sure it broke my heart but when something can invoke that kind of emotion from you, you know it's special. I'll never forget how I felt when I read this manga.

Our heroine is a girl named- Najika-chan. Her parents passed away when she was young, and now she lives in an orphanage in Hokkaido. But she's about to move to Tokyo to fulfil her dream of becoming a pastry chef like her parents!
After her parents passed she cried all the time and no one could get her to eat. She fell into a pond one day almost drowning, but she was saved by a boy her age. At first she was angry he saved her, she wanted to join her parents. But then the boy gave her a flan and told her to love her life and smile, because her parents would want her to be happy. The boy left but from then on Najika-chan had a new love for life and a new goal to aim for.
Najika-chan grew up to become a kind-hearted girl who loved to do good and bring joy to the people around her, she was the big sister of the orphanage and looked after and loved her adopted family.
When she moves to the city to live in dorms at a prestigious school she's originally filled with excitement and hope. But High School kids suck.
Her first day went from bad to worse very quickly. By lunch she'd been set up to look bad and everyone begins to isolate her and spread vicious rumours. But instead of letting mean words get to her she picks herself up and shows everyone that she's here for herself and won't let entitled brats take away her big opportunity!

This manga is filed with passion, love, creativity, struggles and fights also some heart ache. But still i'd categories it as 'light-hearted' and powerful. 

You'll become addicted to Najika's personality and the battles she's constantly faces. 

She uses her cooking to bring people together and inspire! 

Plus it all looks super yummy!

I have to admit though I do worry all this manga about entitled rich brats has really made me 

bitter towards the rich.....>>

Furthermore the manga actually gives the recipes for the food made in the chapters!
