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!
