Sweetness and Lightning · review
The manga is about a single dad raising his daughter with the help of people around them, focusing mostly on the food and their daily lives. Each chapter includes a new recipe they learn together, there’s no weird relationships. Among other mangas, this one captured the daugher-father relationship really well. I found that as the story progresses, it gets better and better. The first thing that made me interested was the manga’s art and it never dissapointed me with various expressions and character designs. There’s so much improvement in each character, especially Tsumugi since she’s a child, both in appearance and behavior. Theonly thing I can complain is that sometimes it explained the cooking process in too much detail, more so in the earlier chapters.
Each of the characters were lovable. Especially Tsumugi, she is a literal angel. Her childness, imagination and way of dealing with problems were so cute.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming, cute and delicious manga, check it out! Make sure to read the special chapters too since they include the characters’ older selves.
