About this title

Synopsis

Najika Kazami is a girl who is passionate about food, whether it comes to eating or cooking. She treasures the place she calls home, an orphanage in Hokkaido called Lavender House, as well as its owner, Hagio. But as much as Hagio and the fellow orphans love her, Najika decides to leave the orphanage to attend a special academy in Tokyo, hoping to achieve her dreams of being a pastry chef. However, Najika has another reason for leaving for the academy. She hopes to find the boy she calls the "Flan Prince"—a boy who touched her heart with a cup of flan seven years ago. Now 13 years old, Najika finds that the spoon that he left behind with the flan shares its emblem with the school she has been accepted to—the prestigious Seika Academy. With high hopes, Najika enters her school's beautiful campus and becomes a first-year student in Seika's junior high division. While unpopular with her fellow classmates due to her love of eating, she seems to find support from two boys who recognize her culinary talents—the popular brothers Daichi and Sora Kitazawa. Will Najika be able to find her place in the academy with her cooking, and perhaps also reunite with her Flan Prince? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Seiya Mizuno6 fan favorites
External profile
A new transfer student, he replaces Najika as the culinary representative. Seiya looks a lot like Sora, causing Najika and Daichi to mistake him as Sora. He egotistical, using "Ore-sama" (オレさま, "Ore-sama"?) instead of simple "Ore" as his "I". (Japanese use different "I"s with different degrees of politeness and formality.) He flirts with Najika in the public, causing girls to envy her (in comparison with Sora and Daichi, where they&#039;re more jealous). Although she&#039;s rather annoyed with him. Later on he falls in love with Akane. He had told Najika that in the past, he had given her flan, causing Najika to think that Seiya was her Flan Prince (Source: Wikipedia) No voice actors have been added to this character.
