So this one was trying to be a little more serious with the MC and the 'Antagonist' having a contest to see if she goes home or not and then later having to deal with the rival girl having an eating disorder because she's a model and she wants to lose weight and she wants to be perfect...but it isn't solved as quickly as they make it seem. It isn't that easy and while I know they want this to be a lighthearted series for the most part I think there are better ways to handle a situation like an eating disorder which is a serious problem that people face and not something to be solved in a single volume. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, no doubt I just hope it's more food after this and less petty girl drama :/

I'm really enjoying this sweet shoujo title, whose charming heroine has a good heart and excellent cooking skills. It's a fluffy manga with your usual whimsical shoujo style.

Questa recensione vale per l'intera serie e non solo per questo volume.

Il primo volume è super cute, con la protagonista che mi ricorda Lucia delle Mermaid Melody ma versione pasticcera. I due ML sono cute e ovviamente fratelli, ma ci garba lo stesso. Le ricette a fine volume le ho AMATE, ottima idea, 10 out of 10.

Ora la parte spoiler che abbassa nettamente il voto alla serie

Spoiler

Il fatto che Sora muoia non mi ha dato particolarmente fastidio, anzi poteva essere un buon plot-twist, MA CHE CAZZO SUCCEDE DOPO? Viene buttato dentro un terzo ML identico a Sora per fare un po' di drama, ma è completamente inutile perchè non ci sarà nulla di nulla dato che il flashback iniziale della protagonista che incontra il suo principe budino dai capelli argentati verrà cambiato in favore del secondo ML dai capelli corvini che magicamente si ricorda tutto. Veramente un finale di trama immotivatamente complicato e angst
