Omg yes! Well, i watched the anime. I watched it during a time when i was heavily into shounen stuff, and the atmosphere of Paradise Kiss was extremely different to what i was used to watching. Again, fell in love with it lol. After that i started reading more manga by that author. I can't remember what it was called but there was a supernatural one that was pretty good.

I love hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. especially the type where you dip a chocolate lollipop in hot milk
Haha, Paradise is very different, especially when you're used to shounen.
I was the same actually when I first got into the slice of life genre. Have not watched the anime, but the manga was great. Has been years since I read it, though.
Ooh, a supernatural one? *searches* Do you think it would be Kagen no Tsuki? :O
Mmm. Hot chocolate. <3 I love letting a minty candy cane melt in it. Adds more flavor.
I've heard of Paradise Kiss, never read. I'll read it. Your friend should read it. Sometimes things are so good that they're worth experiencing the pain of waiting for a new entry, whether it be ASOIAF or Nana.
Soups for me include gumbo (though it's a stew), homemade chicken noodle soup, things like pho. Anything that's got lots of liquid and is hot is my go to meal in the winter.
Another winter food tradition for me is crawfish but I'm trying to limit the amount of meat I consume. I'm on the verge of going full vegetarian.
I love hot chocolate too! Like it more than coffee!
Haha, I hope she does read it. It's crazy how much her and I are like Nana and Hachi. xD It's honestly why it's my favorite manga since I always think of my bestie.
Ooh, gumbo. :O I've never had it, but it looks sooo good. Especially shrimp gumbo. *mouth gets watery* Unfortunately, my mom's allergic to seafood, so I usually eat it when she's not around. xD
Homemade chicken noodle soup is satisfying. Same with tomato soup.
Coconut custard pie and ciders have both been a bit of a fall/winter tradition for me. I like to bake up muffins and sweet potatoes (I loooove sweet potatoes), as well. I recently gained a taste for eggnog, but never tried the alcoholic sort. Maybe this year.
Summer? Veggie burgers, sushi, chili, burritos and reubens! :3
*gasp* A fellow Floridian?! :3
Never read Paradise Kiss, but I've heard of it. I take it's good?
Oh, I know. I've seen some of his art. XD
I have been meaning to check out Uzumaki first.
I'm big into horror movies and comics, but I'm trying ti get into the manga side more. The last horror-y manga I've read was Death Note, which was really really engaging but also pretty sexist.
Ah, coconut custard pie.
My mom actually makes it in a blender. It's sooo good, usually gone within a day, haha.
How do you like eggnog? I didn't like it when I was younger, but I like it now. Kinda tastes like bubblegum to me. :O
You're from Florida as well? What area, may I ask?
I live in Brooksville, north from Tampa.
Edit: My apologies; I got so excited about meeting a fellow Floridian that I skipped over your question about Paradise Kiss. xD It's been years since I read it, but I liked how it was about fashion designers and modeling.
Bit eccentric from what I remember, but I'd check it out if I were you.
I miss shopping. Can't wait to finally get back on the job horse and have income again :<
Haha, shopping does get addicting. xD I do hope you're enjoying yourself in the meantime, though. Have you been up to anything new, Bento?
