This one was one that grew on me.When it started, I really didn't get the main character. I mean, why do you have to marry someone to go and do what you want? At first, I thought this might be a Japanese thing, but I asked a friend of mine who grew up in Japan about it, she said it wasn't a culture thing that she knew of. So I guess that's just how the MC is, but I didn't get it.Then we met Hyuga. I really liked him. He's got the witty banter down (and I love me my witty banter). And his witty banter isn't standoffish, but more playful. He strikes me as a genuinely nice guy. And he brought out the best of our MC, who feels guilty about just wanting to marry him to be a sushi chef because, deep down, she like him and he's slowly making her realize that. I really like him.Watching these two together is really entertaining. I'll definitely be checking out the next volume. I don't really want to add all the other volumes. Basically this was a really cool manga. This girl, Ashitaba Hanayu, starts dating a guy, Hyuuga Hayato, because he is the son of a sushi shop owner. Its supposed to be that he will inherit the shop when his father retires but if she marries into his family she can become the main chef and a rare female sushi chef. Since Hanayu is the daughter of a pastry chef she soon realizes that Hayato had the same idea. He wants to marry into her family and become the head of the pastry chef. Since they cant become the head of each others shops without the original heir accepting inheritance of their parents shops they break up and go their separate ways. Hanayu confesses to her friend, Ichii, that she made a mistake and realized too late that she was in love with Hayato. She goes to Hayato and plans to tell him that she will accept her family's shop inheritance. He stops her and tells her that he has already accepted his shops inheritance because he can't become a pastry chef. He can't become a pastry chef because he can't make his first cake and give it to anyone because he was going to give his first cake to his grandfather. He can't give his first cake to his grandfather because his grandfather passed away. He tells Hanayu that he really like her and they go out again. Hanayu starts working at Hayato's family sushi shop. She is sad that Hayato has given up on becoming a pastry chef but at the same time she is happy because it means she can marry into his family. The story is much more elaborate and has more fillers but that's the gist of it. Its a really good Manga and I recommend it. Its really interesting but it's torture to read it while you're hungry...
