Great

I really liked this manga, even though it was sad at times. ^_^ I like to cook, though, so it was intesting, but even if you don't, I think you can really understand the main characters feelings.

Absolutely Adorable

I don't know why, but I suddenly discovered I have a thing for cooking stories and this manga is no exception! I figure by now I would be tired of the general stereotypical shoujo plot, but I was pleasingly surprised by the multiple underlying themes and the artwork is very appealing. The heroine is very optimistic and considerate towards others. Of course I am very anxious to find out which one of the twins she is going to end up with 😀 but I guess I'll have to wait!

Shoujo tropes and weird plot twists

by zengoats

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

Yada yada yada, it's another shoujo manga with a cooking spin. There's a good boy and a bad boy, and our heroine doesn't know who's the better pick! Oh no! It's the usual contrived love story except with a kind of gutsy but totally unnecessary plot twist. On the one hand, major props to the mangaka for surprising shoujo veterans everywhere; on the other hand, why was that plot twist necessary or logical?
In any case, Kitchen no Ohimesama is the usual shoujo fluff, but it might be worth a read if you want to see one of the most bizarre and misplaced plot twists ever.

It was okay at the beginning, but then something died. I only kept reading to the end because I'd already read most of it, so not finishing it would've been a waste. The characters were kind of stereotypical and cliched. Good for those new to the shoujo manga world.

Your lovable Shoujo manga.

SCroll DOwn. (to the reviews near the end of the page)

There are so many people who love it. Its one of those things you love after you get past the overly upbeat and vivacious main character. You'll be able to see the depth in the plot and the characters attitudes and emotions. Everything develops very well.

I felt for Najika and her loss of Sora, and Daichi's one sided love and Akane's jealousy. I felt the emotions in every bit of this manga. And I got a couple of cool recipes out of it too.

SRSLY. Read it. Give it a go, it only gets better,

"Kawaii desudesu"

This is a really cute series.
Perhaps too cute in my book.
For some reason, I can't stand Najika. She's like a plastic block, hardly realistic in my eyes. She's like a Mary-Sue. She cries floods every chapter and then by the next three pages or so, she has this extremely large grin on her face. You can't even take her seriously when she gets angry. And to have the whole school bullying her because of her talent? I think that's overused and cliche. Also, Najika never loses in a competition. Either she wins or it's always a tie. (I actually like Akane better because of the amount of character development for her.)

It's very predictable. Stereotypical shoujo. Najika's cooking is enjoyable. It's fun to see how she handles her competitions and what she cooks up for the judges. It would recommend it to pre-teens and those who are younger.

One of my first shoujo manga....

by moonmystery

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

Even though this was in my childhood, I am not going easy on this manga because, frankly, it was not very good even back then. Like, this is a cooking manga... but there was BARELY any actual cooking related scenes. It's mostly teenage angst, love triangles, and drama stuck in cooking background.

Honestly, why even bother with the premise in the first place then?

Shoujo abt cooking... pretty OK, so its worth a read

by kri91

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Emphasis on SHOUJO!
It wuznt mainly focused on cooking like yakitate ja-pan or shokugeki no soma...There were too many distractions frm cooking 4 it to be considered like them!
But it still had a fair bit of cooking in it...

Although it has some faults n I dint really like d female lead, especially in the first 20 chapters or so, I got used to her after that
N its a cute read... not bad at all

also,

abt Souma dying Yes it wuz sad, but not devastating... n considering v knew frm the beginning who she'd end up with, it wuz a shocker but dint particularly matter...

My suggestion, if u want to read a shoujo with cooking but romance too, n dont mind young characters, then read it

Typical shoujo stuff

Typical shoujo stuff with princes and damsel in distress and bitchy catty nail sharpening vamps.
I came because someone told me that it was a food manga, which it is not. It is shoujo plain and simple, and if it works for you, this might be an 9 or a 10.

But I can't get myself to care about who is going to luv whom, so dropping.
