Oishii Kankei - "A Delicious Relationship"

Summary on OneManga - Fujiwara Momoe, a girl who loves to eat, was raised by her rich parents eating only the best. When her father dies from heart disease and Momoe has to support her and her mother, she can't stand the food that she makes (she never cooked before). One day, she walks into a little French restaurant and recognizes the food from its taste. She had eaten it several years earlier when celebrating her birthday at a 5-star restaurant with her parents. She asks to work there as a cook under the head chef, Oda-san. She falls in love with Oda, but he doesn't notice her feelings and only considers her an annoying apprentice. This series goes through joy and heartbreak, as experienced by Momoe.

This is a new type of manga for me. It seems that two of the characters seem "destined" to end up together, but instead of it being one angsty relationship, they get involved with other people. If I had to guess, I'd say that the manga  is about halfway done at 31 chapters. I'm not happy with the relationships as they stand right now, but I don't see how they'd be "fixed". I'll keep up with this one.
