Mixed Vegetables, Vol. 6 (6)

The art of this particular series is different than any other manga or anime. The details are sharp and the characters are so touching. If you are interested in food or cooking, this is a great inspirational manga for those who like to create something unusual. The story revolves around the two characters Hana and Hayato, who are discovering the hardships and demands of the food industry. Hana is desperate to become a sushi chef and Hayato dreams of becoming a baker or patissier.  Hana-Kimi, Vol. 1: For You In Full Blossom (v. 1)   Mixed Vegetables, Vol. 1   Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1

I have been needing this book to finish the collection for ages and I finaly got it. The shipping was amazing, and I was got it so fast that I was confussed when I got a package because I didn't expect it for a few days. It quality was just like it you bought it new from the bookstore. I love it!

I actually find this series quite boring compared to most other Shojo manga.The relationship between Hana and Hayato is more a Middle School romance than anything, it takes them almost five books for them to start dating after the whole denial of crushes, lying about each others motives and breaking up in the first and second book and 'oh we're just friends ^^' crap.After they start going out Hayato started acting overly jealous [she can't even talk about a guy that works at her fathers store for cripes sake!] and their misunderstandings are just immature and middle school. Rather than talk about their problems they prefer to fume about it for three or four chapters and then explode at each other and that's basically the whole plot.Now I'm not looking for the stereotypical maiden in distress, but there are other manga that are so much better than this and they do basically the exact same thing [just more maturely and without food] a good example is  High School Debut, Vol. 1 , the characters are much easier to like and the plot is cute and the art is better, in my opinion.Stubbornly I thought it might get better and I'm glad I stopped buying them and just got them from the library.
