Asano began publishing the wagashi-themed (Japanese confections) slice of life manga in Young Ace in April 2016. Kadokawa shipped the 11th volume on May 1.

Synopsis
Nagomu Irino returns to his Kyoto home for the first time in ten years when his father is hospitalized. Nagomu is eager to take over Ryokushou, the family's Japanese sweet shop, but he's instead asked to be a father figure to Itsuka Yukihira, the girl everyone calls the successor.

Looks like the female lead's VA is pretty new and this is her first lead role.

Anyways, anime about wagashi? Sounds interesting, I'm going to keep an eye on this for now.

Same as that horse one from a few days ago; I don't at all care, but not in a malicious way.

I'll wait for the PV or next staff announcement.

Nobunaga-kun is such a sex symbol? I think I'm starting to see him quite often in the role of prominent male leads.
