Kitchen Princess, Vol. 2: Simmering Rivals by Miyuki Kobayashi, Natsumi Andō

3.0

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 :/
