Sweetness and Lightning

USD 0.99 / 99pt ~ USD 2.99 / 299pt
Having lost his wife, math teacher Kouhei Inuzuka is doing his best to raise his young daughter Tsumugi as a single father. He's pretty bad at cooking and doesn't have a huge appetite to begin with, but chance brings his little family and one of his students, Kotori Iida, together for homemade adventures. With those three cooks in the kitchen, it's no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious.

    Lots of sweetness, reasonably wholesome
    This review contains spoilers. For those of you concerned about the age gap between two of the characters: apart from the younger student thinking about her feelings, nothing overtly romantic happens until the younger character is an adult.

    The characters are likeable and I really love the interactions with Tsumugi and her father. It's so sweet.

    Endearing and Mouthwatering
    An endearing slice-of-life series about a father and daughter grieving for their matriarch of the family, with a generous serving of mouthwatering food. I was initially worried that there would be a teacher-student relationship in this, but that's averted, thankfully!

    At the end of each chapter is a recipe for that chapter's featured dish. The translation notes at the end of every volume are also very cool.

    話もさることながら
    絵もめちゃくちゃ上手いです。性別や年齢、個々の特徴、感情の機微。そうした書き分けが丁寧でしっかりしていて、感動に拍車をかけてます

A father and daughter cook together
You'll instantly fall in love with Tsumugi! Every expression she makes, every line she says... Simply adorable! And things never get old because of how she reacts to cooking and eating each meal. Cooking with someone like Tsumugi seems like it'd never get old. An awesome slice-of-life.
