In both manga the heroine has an excellent sense of taste and got into a special school thanks to someone's recommendation. While Najica plans to become a chef and is already good at cooking, Ichigo wants to become a pâtissière just like her grandmother and is a complete beginner.

The circumstances and characters and their relationships to each other have a similar feel to it.

I'm actually shocked this isn't on the top of the reccomendation list for Kitchen Princess. The mangakas for Kitchen Princess is clearly quite heavily inspired by Arina Tanemura, particularly in her art-style. However I have an inkling that the creators of Kitchen Princess closely followed the storyline of Shinshi Doumei Cross. The plotlines for these two manga are very similar- A girl attends a particular high school in search of her long-lost prince who saved her in her childhood in one form or another. In both, her 'prince' comes from a wealthy family while she is orphaned. Brothers are involved in both, in both the girl is  read more

najika resembles mikan a lot the same cheery mood all the time. also mikan finds it hard to fit in her class just like najika!! anyway they are both lovely manga's that leave a smile on your face.

Main male characters are pretty similar in a way also, the story unfolds similarly. You could just add a cooking element and lots of food allusions about love then you could have Kitchen Princess. And, Kitchen princess is quite a bit more dramatic.

Both main characters originate from Hokkaido and move to Tokyo for higher prospects. Tanpopo and Najika are both strong and cheerful heroines, and their love interests do their best to support them in their endeavors. As Kitchen Princess focuses on cooking, Imadoki concentrates more on gardening.

both are about a girl caught in a love triangle with a pair of brothers. they start off light and cute but also have their share of sadness

Both are shoujo series with a romantic undertone. Both also feature the gorgeous art of Natsumi Ando. If you've enjoyed either of these series you should give the other a read.

Both Najika (Kitchen no Ohime-sama) and Kyoko (Skip Beat!) were not raised by their parents and have a special skill (Kyoko- acting; Najika- cooking). Also, in the past, the two of them met a boy that helps them, but they don't remember him really well (so they search for him). The two stories include comedy, romance and drama. Skip Beat! is longer and Kitchen no Ohime-sama is more tragic. They're both worth reading.

Hatsukoi Lunch Box is more light-hearted and a cute read compared to Kitchen Princess. But, again, it's about finding cute shoujo love through cooking :).

Kitchen no Ohimesama is like a combination between Yumeiro Patissiere and Kirarin Revolution! All Three are Awesome Manga! Hiroto in Kirarin Revolution looks just like Daichi in Kitchen no Ohimesama ^ ^ Both of them have similar personalities. Kirari and Najika also have similar personalities and they both love to eat ^ ^ (As to why I recommend Yumeiro Patissiere, refer to a separate Recommendation that I posted ^ ^)

Both are about cooking and competition. The main characters are both young and strive to be a great chef.

Both girls enroll in a special school to look for a very special childhood friend and end up falling in love along the way.

Both have parts about wanting to meet someone they met in their childhood again. Both have a main character who has a special skill. And both have two different guys who both like/have liked her.

Lovely Decoration and Kitchen Princess are two shojo manga series that feature a girl who loves to eat as the main character of a cooking-themed story.

Both involves food/cooking

Beauty Pop and Kitchen no Ohime-sama are two very popular shojo manga. I personally love them both, and they have a lot in common. For example, the girl protagonists are both specialists in something {Beauty Pop- Hair Cutting; Kitchen no Ohime-sama- Cooking). There is also romance between the protagonist's friends.

Story about pastry chefs who have special abilities such as absolute taste and warm hands. Has similar story of finding one's success in pastry cooking. Also has great tips on cooking etc... Kitchen Princess has romance whereas Yakitate!!Japan is more about cooking.

They are both stories about a girl who works in a bakery or a cafe and knows two boys who help her out.

Both are shoujo series that involve romance using a food theme. Both also feature gorgeous art. 
reportRecommended by Whimsical
Both stories feature kids who made promises with another kid long ago, and they both struggle to find out who is who. However, in Kitchen Princess, it's from a girl's point of view and Nisekoi is from a guy's point of view. Also, Kitchen Princess is more dramatic and Nisekoi is more comedic and quirky. Overall, both stories have similar stories and charming characters that readers will get attached to.

Both involve a girl dead set on cooking. Kitchen Princess actually offers the recipes that are made throughout. Also the ML is an extremely good cook/baker. Worthwhile read.

Najika is an aspiring young chef with a flawless sense of taste and a heart of gold. Orphaned at a young age, Najika gravitated toward cooking out of her desire to find her "prince," the mysterious boy who touched her heart and brought light into her life shortly after her parents' death. The only clue to his identity is a silver spoon, which leads Najika to the prestigious Seika Academy, where she faces many challenges on her quest for happiness. There are some sad parts just warning I really like it though😍😉😉😍

This manga is similar to the manga Kitchen princess. Because the main character is moving into a new high class and famous academy. At her first day in the new academy she meets a cute guy, who tooks interest in her.

I am surprised no one made a recomendation of these two yet. Both main characters in Kitchen Princess and Rockin' Heaven have very loveable characters that are too meddlesome for their own good. Story-wise I can't really say they are similar, but I can see some similarities such as how anyone would fall for the main girl or how they make friends so easily and how they love to help each other out. They saved relationships between the guys and their family and someone in both manga dies! There were lots of possible love triangles going and and both girls do their best in getting  read more

These dessert-themed slice of school life shoujo follow the same formula: The protagonist is a scholarship kid in a school of rich and famous personalities who dreams of becoming a famous pâtissière, her genuine optimism and desire to make people smile with her desserts enable her to win over even the hardest hearts, and naturally her overwhelming empathy and kindness will bring all the boys to her yard. Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie is a tragically short sampler for what Kitchen Princess is all about, but it does have an anime (and a game series) under its belt! The characters are easy to love and easy to root for; but  read more

Ascendance of a Bookworm and Kitchen Princess are two manga series with a female protagonist who is passionate about something (Ascendance features books while Kitchen Princess features food). Both series often feature the main character making things, whether it be food or crafts.

Love in Focus and Kitchen Princess are two shoujo manga following a main character who moves away to a school campus dorm/boarding home and has a strong passion for her hobby that she got from her loved one(s). She eventually finds herself between a love triangle with two boys, one with blonde-ish hair who is more gentle and one with black/brown hair who is somewhat not as easily gentle. Are some parts of the story predictable? Maybe... you can say that, but enjoy the ride with some nice art.

Kitchen Princess and Agreement of the Glass Shoes are a similar tale of a girl meeting her prince when she was younger, and now having to find that person later in life with only a trinket to go by...and being sure as to which person it happens to be.

Chicken Cutlet Princess and Kitchen Princess are two shoujo comics that follow a girl who really loves to eat food (though it's a specific food in Chicken Cutlet Princess's case... guess what it is...). Chicken Cutlet's main character reminds me of Kitchen Princess's Najika when it comes to food being disliked/discarded. The art in both comics are really cute and have similar appeal with each other (especially with how the eyes are drawn).

so ok - the character on kitchen princess also forget the memory and in ozmafia too. -the start is pretty intresting for both -both girls are sweet and kind -i think both are reverse harem

Kobato and Kitchen Princess are both manga with some really delightful art that may appeal to shoujo fans. The main character is a somewhat odd but sweet and relatively innocent young girl, who seems to be able to touch the hearts of the people she meets and learns to know, and has a personal goal that she wishes to reach. But the story is a lot more dramatic than it seems, and the girl may find herself in some extremely dire situations in her journey towards her wish.

Both mangas have a main protagonists that have an impeccable sense of cooking. The protagonists main love interest also love the cooking and are really attracted to them The only difference is that Akuma to dolce is more supernatural and has an element of fantasy, while kitchen princess is more slice of life. In the end both have sweet and amazing stories that are must reads.

Both series are actually pretty similar in certain aspects. Kitchen Princess and Recipe No Oujisama (roughly translated as The Prince Of Recipe; heck, similar titles even) are about our protagonists who strive to become a professional cook since they possess godly cooking skills. Both our protagonists also share similar pasts where they met a boy who "saved" them with food. While trying to achieve their dreams, they become acquainted with their love interests, and they slowly realize there's a possibility that their love interests are the boys they met as children. The difference here is that Kitchen Princess is shoujo while Recipe No Oujisama is BL.  read more

Kitchen Princess has cooking, and Twinkle Cherry is a short school slice of life, but both have similar themes of trying to find (and figure out who is) the childhood friend. There are male siblings in both series, though only Twinkle Cherry's main heroine has a sister. If you liked one, you will most definitely enjoy the other.

I love Mamotte! Lollipop and Kitchen Princess! I recomend Kitchen Princess to all Mamotte! Lollipop fans. It is pretty much the same story line, that kind girl with no partner, those two guys, one tough and one kind. To me, it's like mamotte! lollipop with cooking! It even includes awesome, tasty recipie extras!

I believe Kitchen Princess is a very romantic novel that also involves several other genres like comedy, drama, romance, school life, shoujo, and tragedy. Millennium Snow also involves some similar genres like drama, romance and shoujo. Both stories involve the main character choosing between two male characters. Even though Millennium Snow involves fantasy, both novels are really cute to read. Millennium Snow is about a 17-year-old girl named Chiyuki Matsuoka was born with heart problems, and her doctors say she won't live to see the next snow. Touya is an 18-year-old vampire who hates blood and refuses to make the traditional partnership with a human  read more

Both involve a girl who's looking for a boy who helped her back when she was a little girl. Both make mistakes too, although Kitchen Princess is much longer and deeper than Anata.

Both are mangas about food and romance but one is shoujo while the other is josei. Both girls have an incredible sense of taste, work in a small cafeteria/restaurant and are learning more about food.

Even though Kamichama Karin chu didn't have any 'cooking' and 'kitchen' stuffs, they both have romantic actions. and feeling. 
reportRecommended by Cecilia-chan
Kitchen Princess and Aria have a lot in common when it comes to the emotions they evoke and the characters themselves. Najika and Akari both share a wonderful optimism about life even through difficult situations. Aika and Akane also remind me of each other, though Aika was never quite so cold to Akari. Though Kitchen Princess has more drama and tragedy, I feel that fans would also enjoy the gentle pacing and relaxed joyful feeling of Aria.
