Story: At first glance this story might seem pretty simple and odd, after all when I first heard it was about a girl searching for a guy who gave her a SPOON of all things I must admit I was thinking it sounded a little silly, but as soon as I was one chapter in I was absolutely hooked, and finished this series quicker than any other- it was that good. The story itself is great, with various mini-stories concerning an array of characters all intertwining together, and with such amazing plot twists including memory loss and deaths of main characters what can even get your tears flooding out all over the place, this manga certianly shouldn't be missed.

Art: I love the art in Kitchen Princess, Natsumi Ando's artwork is always beautiful and it never went slobby or odd, the characters moods were correctly conveyed through theit expressions and the pictures were a feast for the eyes.

Characters: The characters are quite exceptional also. You find yourself loving some characters, then maybe hating them, then hating some and afterwards loving them as they befriend our heroine. The love-triangle of Najika, Sora and Daichi is one of the most memorable love triangles for me and is as bittersweet as it is incredible. Then theres Ayano, the model who becomes a first-class enemy of Najika. But does Najika ever give up at changing her enemy? No, she doesn't. Instead she's only nicer to Ayano, and in the end wins her over and they become fast friends.

Overall: This is way better than the story of a girl looking for a guy with a spoon- its amazing and certainly one of the best manga's I've ever read, you don't have to be into cooking to like it anyway. I'm certainly no fan of cooking yet it managed to draw me in! If you like love triangles, high school slice of life stories, then this is a must read :D
