Mixed Vegetables

review 1: Hanayu Ashitaba is the daughter of the celebrated Patisserie Ashitaba, but all she wants to do is be a sushi chef. Hayato Hyuga is the son of the prestigious Sushi Hyuga, and all he wants to do is be a pastry chef! It's love and leftovers in the Oikawa High School Cooking Deparment as the star-crossed gourmands do their best to reach their cuisine dreams.Hanayu knows that it will break her parents' hearts if she defects from the bakery to become a sushi chef. But if she marries into a sushi family, they'll have to understand her decision. Now she just has to get Hayato Hyuga interested in her, and what better way than to wow him with her cooking skills?I liked this manga oh my god it's so funny I love the main character Hana her personality reminds me of myself and how de... moretermine,crazy and just doesn't care what anybody thinks I love it. The characters are funny and the romance between Hana and hayato it's so cute and sweet and just fluffy and the plot of this book is really interesting too like her trying to get Hayato to marry her so she can marry into a sushi family and her parents will not get upset that she wanted to be a sushi chef and not a pastries chef like her dad.But overall I liked it and I'm very excited to read the rest of the manga.
review 2: I really disliked Hanayu for most of the volume - at least the first 4 chapters, called here menus. The concept is a little cheesy but so are a lot of my favorite manga. She's so shallow and her friend so personality less that I just struggled to see a reason to finish. I did finish though and I hate her a lot less.When we finally got to see a little of Hayato's personality I liked him a lot more than the girl. He's striking and seems to be prone to dramatics but in a good way and not an exaggerated way like Hanayu. He's a gentlemanly boy and I have to admire that for a shojo volume.The cooking references were cute, her parents and talk of arranged marriages - cute. The characters have to carry the entire story. If they don't work then the story doesn't work. I might try a second volume when I'm bored but don't count on it! I was really disappointed as I'd heard good things about this one. less
