It should be mentioned that Natsumi Ando only did the art for Kitchen Princess, not the story.

With that said, the opposite twins concept doesn't seem to be done too often if I remember correctly, or at least with the main characters being opposite twins. It might be something for me to look out for sometime in the future.

The art looks cute. I guess I could possibly try it.

Indeed. While I've seen this formula come up on occasion, this seems to take a different enough take to it that it could really be a cute, fun read.

Mary Kate and Ashley, The Parent Trap, Zack and Cody, etc. Seems every time there's twins, they're opposites. Laughing

I'm kind of skeptic for once about this. =_= I love Natsumi Ando's work because she works with very original ideas, but using this plot device... I've seen it before in manga several times.

Manga twins with opposite personalites (which is real life anyways): Miracle Girls, D.N. Angel, Ouran Host Club, Dream Saga: Takamagahara, Tokyo Babylon, Fushigi Yuugi, and etc. Just to name a few well-known examples.

Buuut, I'll give this new manga a shot. See what makes it different from the rest of those.
