Hayato's study trip in Europe has taught him more than he can digest about pastries and about himself. Back in Japan, Hanayu has also made incredible progress, becoming a skilled sushi master. However, when Hayato is offered the chance of a lifetime to study pastries in a real French patisserie, his ties to his family and his love for Hayato hold him back. Can Hanayu change his mind about this important decision without breaking his heart? Find out how the two foodie friends resolve their dreams, family obligations and love for one another in this stunning final volume of Mixed Vegetables!

My Review:
 
I'm sad to see this manga end even though I haven't read vols. 1 - 6!

I love the cover because of all the yummy pastries and sushi and Hayato and Hanayu are so cute together!
 
Hayato is an incredible pastry chef and he has a tough decision to make when Hanayu's father asks him to work at his pastry shop in Paris.  He torn between his love for Hanayu and his grandfather's dying wish!
 
I don't want to spoil the ending for any manga lovers so I'm writing a brief review!
 
4/5

Thanks Maylene from Simon and Schuster Canada for sending this manga for me to review on my blog, greatly appreciated!
