It's a manga that I can't bring myself to say I don't like, because it's a lie. However, it has more negative than positive points: the characters are wonderful, but they do not have a development, their magic lies in knowing them when they are introduced to the story and adapting to it, than seeing them in their day to day. The characters are not explored, not even Hotaru, only Kokonotsu (the protagonist), in a period in which it is easy to empathize and care for him, and there is a development, however this happens only once. The finale is disappointing, it makes you understandwhat is going to happen, but after watching so many chapters, I felt it was not worth it. It's great to learn about Japanese sweets, but having such nice characters, I'd rather see them in important situations than arguing over sweets. So that's why I don't recommend Dagashi Kashi, I enjoyed it but it wasn't enough.
