It's cute. Tsumugi can be self-centered, and Misaki is a doofus. Art is very good.

I have really been looking forward for a female protagonist in Shonen Jump action series, and this series delivers just that. Interesting power system concept but I wonder if brute force is the only thing behind every fight?
Personally I like the first chapter. The only complaint I have is that the character designs are just too basic. There are plenty of anime girls who look exactly like Tsumugi. Same goes for Misaki. I wish their designs were more unique or something.

This first chapter was really exciting. The power system is really unique and I hope the series continues to stay good.

I liked the first chapter. The plot seems interesting so far, and I’m excited to see how this goes. Hopefully it doesn’t go down in quality as it goes on, like other series’ usually do.

Got notified by the sj app about a new series and surprisingly it's pretty good.
Female protagonist for a change though the character designs might be basic and can look like every other character of other mangas out there, it still fits the story quite nice.

Interesting idea for a power system, a lot of potential... The first idea of how they might use this type of power system that I thought of, though not really copy-paste, is One Piece power system.

One piece, someone eats a devil fruit then gets one of a kind power.
In this manga, someone eats a special candy (toytoy candy, which is like devil fruit) and gets one of a kind power.

I, personally, think that this manga is like the Whole Cake Island Arc of One Piece but in another way.

P.s. I am not saying this manga is a copy of One Piece but for me to illustrate the power system, I think One Piece Whole Cake Island Arc is the best comparison.

Yeah why is that? they have it promoted and you can add it to your favourites but can't read it?

So wacky but not bad at all. I like the art and the concept of using candies as lethal weapons of pure destruction is pretty damn fun, definitely a concept that was created with the author having a sugar rush of their own. Will be keeping my eye on this for the time being. Might be a solid little manga like how SHY is for me.

This was a very promising first chapter. Although it may seem like a weird concept at first, the story was very enjoyable and fun. I also already really like what I assume will be our two main characters.

Overall, this seems like a really fun new series. I'm really looking forward to where the story will go.

Authors: Hey, those aren't devil fruits but devil candies! Completely different things!
but honestly, outside of wacky way of gaining powers there is no similarities.

only thing that worry me is that number of powers is limited only to 100. Of course this is relatively a lot but later in the story can limiting creativity for authors. Time will tell.

and personally I would prefer, it was revealed that Tsumugi was responsible for destruction of Tokyo and not some "evil guy" but even she didn't know that and it was just accident (something similiar to movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs").



also I'm guessing that this is one-shot https://twitter.com/mitarashi_santa/status/1245692343048474625?s=20

Same, I wouldn't be surprised that authors were inspired by Whole Cake Island Arc when creating this story.

Good first chapter but these new concepts can get boring depending on how the mangakas goes with it, I hope the mangaka gets to tell the story as he/she intended till the end.

A unique premise and it has a lot of potential. However, it still brought nothing new to the table, disregarding the candy premise. Everything is standard from characters to the plot.

Still looking forward to more

Interesting concept but I'm really not sure whether it'll work long time for a battle shounen since they limited themselves to a 100 candies already.

The art is decent and I laughed once or twice so I'll check out a few more chapters to see where it goes.

It was very... familiar. Too familiar. If you've read any shounen battle manga from the past few years, then you've read the first chapter of Candy Flurry already.

It doesn't even have a unique artstyle, some characters have top lips but that's about it. It's very tropey, very... tired. Reading this manga was tiring. Sorry, I just didn't like chapter 1. It's another manga about a highshooler fighting with wacky powers against a society that oppresses them from being themselves and achieving their goals. If you've read Naruto, Bleach, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, or any other popular shounen battle manga in shounen jump well... this is that, but with sweets.

Maybe it'll improve in the later chapters. Hopefully. I'll stick it out for now, seems to be the authors' first work so they deserve credit for trying their best, and I wish the best for both of them.

Interesting premise, female shonen MC, good (but not great) story execution for the most part. Reminds me of WCI Arc in One Piece. Let's see if it can live up to its potential and eventually get an anime in a few years. I do hope this series doesn't receive the SJ axe if I end up loving it a lot.

Very very interested to see where this one is headed. The concept is extremely wacky. I myself and others have commented that it feels like MHA with candy and sweets instead of quirks. I love the protag as well. I've got big expectations for this one.

Hm I'm not sure how i feel about this manga based on the first chapter. It was a bit boring, the characters are pretty tropey (self centered girl and serious idiot) I dont really sense that they'll form a dynamic that I'll enjoy. The plot is also a bit gimmicky too. Its the sort of forbidden powers story that we've heard time and time again but with candy. The normal school setting makes it feel a bit like a generic school shounen. I feel like itd be a lot more interesting and suck me in a lot more if it were a bit more apocalyptic.

It might be a bit harsh to say this too, but the art is lacking a bit. Most modern shounen jump titles have brought new and interesting art styles, but this one just isnt measuring up.

I know its the first chapter and too early to make judgements, but i hope this forms a bit more of an identity.

This read like an elaborate way for the mangaka to reveal their favourite One Piece arc was Whole Cake Island.

This was fine though, premise feels overly limited to be honest, but maybe I'll be proven wrong, or maybe it's intended for a short run and won't be a problem as such.. I think both main characters are likable enough, rather liked the scene with Tsumugi given up her umbrella or Misaki's well-meaning idiocy.

yeah your right,her design is so simple the reason why when i saw her i felt like i already saw it before, that was probably the actual reason

I feel bad for the protagonist like why she suppose to had that power instead of other well but it is good I think,I mean this is shounen jump so im sure they will be an ally of her by using the power of friend,most of shounen jump doesn't really had some dark plot, so I hope this one, progress pretty well

another trashy manga from shonen jump aka shonen dump : candy furry , lol , the furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics .

page 8 : this scene is total nonsense : we have the 3 most biggest simps in the world , they already bought their foods , but they still hang around in the store for no reason at all ?????

and they can only see her back , not her face , but they think she is cute ?????

then they just give their cream-puffs to her , without wanting anything in exchange ????? SIMPS ALERT . how about exchange the cream-puffs for her phone number , her panties , for some hand-holdings , body-touchings , for some kisses ?

it is like the authors were trying to say : look at our character , you see how cute , how pretty she is ? and she is a nice , gentle girl with a good personality . all of you readers should give your money to her , buy her manga now .

- main girl : im just a normal girl , and i can also create some giant candy .
- yo , what kind of normal is that ? are you stupid ?

page 14 :
- im an under-age sweet-police brat ( this is so stupid ) . my weapon is a sharp fork to stab criminals to death , but i wont use the fork , i will just kick the criminals with my feet ( this is so stupid ) .
