Najika is the daughter of two pastry chefs who died when she was young. Shortly after their death she met a young boy who cheered her up and gave her a spoon. The spoon had the emblem of Seika Academy, a prestigious school in Tokyo, and she was determined to find her prince. Oh, and she loves to cook and is amazing at it! Rest assured, Kitchen Princess isn’t just another shojo title. While it does have some cliches, it’s handled in a fashion that makes it new and refreshing in the genre.

Train Man grabbed me from the get-go for some reason. The story itself is an uncliche storyline stemming from a cliché story plot. Geeky guy meets beautiful woman. Guy has no clue what to do. However, it’s not that the geeky guy with a beautiful girl is anything new in manga, but Train Man does give some interesting twists in the form of the online web. At any rate, it starts when Train Man (identity never exposed) saves a group of women from a pervert. Relieved to have been saved and have found a nice young man, the women take his contact information and one responds by sending him tea cups as a gift. By this point he has posted the story on a forum and is receiving response after response of what to do. Thanks to encouragement from members of the forum he calls her and asks her on a date. Thus, a friendship begins, but will it lead where Train Man wants it to?
