Book Overview
HUNGRY HEART Najika is a great cook and likes to make meals for the people she loves. But something is missing from her life. When she was a child, she met a boy who touched her heart-and now Najika is determined to find him. The only clue she has is a silver spoon that leads her to the prestigious Seika Academy. Attending Seika will be a challenge. Every kid at the school has a special talent, and the girls in Najika's class think she doesn't deserve to be there. But Sora and Daichi, two popular brothers who barely speak to each other, recognize Najika's cooking for what it is-magical. Is either boy Najika's mysterious prince?

I love this series. As a mom, I was looking for a Manga series that I could feel good about my 13 year old daughter reading. The heroine of the series is a plucky girl who overcomes adversity with cooking ! I love the art work and story line. The characters are charming and grow as the series progresses. I like the author's emphasis on healthy food and taking care of yourself, while making food fun too. Together my daughter and I have made some of the recipes in the back of the book. On my own, I'm cooking all the recipes as I read my way through the books.
Great book!

From the title and the cover, I thought this was going to be some socially backwards Stepford-wife-in-training manga. I was wrong. In actuality, the story is about an orphan girl who discovers her extraordinary talent for taste and cooking. In some cases she proves herself as good if not better than professional chefs of Tokyo. The story emphasises the meaning of having a strong and compassionate heart, caring for others, and selflessness. From making colorful soda for others on a hot day, to baking a pie for a friend with an eating disorder, KP touches alot of bases with food :) Great manga. I recommend it for all ages.
