This commemorates Nakayoshi's 70th anniversary and Ando's 30th anniversary as a painter. ``Kitchen Princess'' is a cooking love story about Najika, a girl who is a glutton and loves cooking, as she strives to become the best pastry chef in Japan. It was serialized in Nakayoshi from 2004 to 2008, and won the 30th Kodansha Manga Award. "Kitchen Princess One More Plate!" depicts Najika's new trials as she spends her fun days at Seika Academy with her lover Daichi and friends.
Also in the same issue, Ichi Kotoko's ``Hana ni Bitiguse'' is completed. The final 5th volume is scheduled to be released on July 13th, and will include an extra edition, as well as a giveaway project where you can win an acrylic stand by lottery. Additionally, a ``Legend☆Clear Message Card'' using illustrations from Nakayoshi's previous works has been prepared as an appendix.
