Plot Summary:
Najika is a great cook and she likes to make meals for the people she loves. But something is missing from her life. When she was a child, she met a boy who touched her heart-and now she's determined to find him. The only clue Najika has is a silver spoon that leads her to the prestigious Seika Academy. Attending Seika will be a challenge. Every kid at the school has a special talent, and the girls in Najika's class think she doesn't deserve to be there. But Sora and Daishi, two popular brothers who barely speak to eachother, recognize Najika's cooking for what it is-magical. Is either boy Najika's mysterious prince...
Najika is an orphan and amazing cook who lives at Lavendar House. She dreams of finding her flan prince; a boy who cheered her up many years ago as a child. Her only clue is the spoon he gave her. Now, Najika is off to study at Seika Academy, because she learned that's where the spoon came from. There she meets two new friends (Sora and Daichi) who instantly recognize her talent for cooking. Unfortunately, many of her classmates do not and make life hard for her. However, she is willing to tough it out in order to find her prince.
