Absolutely loved reading this manga! All the characters are very unique and the art is drawn great. The majority of the manga are skits about many types of (real) old and familiar Japanese snacks (dagashi) with almost each chapter dedicated to one specific snack. What makes this fun to read is the interactions between the characters around the snack with humor that is generally fun. However, this manga is not solely about dagashi, the main character is faced with a difficult choice, of which he holds onto throughout the story. In my opinion, there is a good balance between the dagashi, and the main characters' ... story with a pinch of romance. My enjoyment reading this manga was high and consistent from beginning to end.

New characters are introduced around the middle of the manga. This is also where the development of the characters start to take more of a priority. There may only be a few characters, but each of them get enough time to become relevant.

Unfortunately, the ending felt more like a cliff-hanger instead of a true ending. Although, the main character did reached the next step toward his goal, no major change was made to the characters. It is, however, still satisfactory. It just made me want more.

Overall, I highly recommend this manga for the great characters, fun story, and the dagashi. Some people may not be interested in reading about dagashi, but Kotoyama makes doing so fun and interesting!

Sinceramente depois do outro final aberto e ruim que esse autor fez, esse também não me surpreende, como sempre tem algumas ponta soltas e óbvio que no final fica aquilo lá do *imagina aí o resto* eu ainda tenho que ler pessoas falando ah "eu imagino tal personagem fazendo tal coisa" porra se for pra pensar eu não vou ler essa merda né, vou criar uma fanfic aqui que e melhor, acho que vale a pena ver o anime e tals vc goste da comédia, mas so veja isso, Não sei tbm pq o autor coloca elementos de romance se e ele caga nisso e ... tbm não conclui nada, tá difícil ter um manga com fim fechado

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 understand ... what 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.
