Toy Toy Candy....100 of these were made and thrown into the public. Eat one and gain candy powers. Being able to spawn giant lollipops, using ice cream as ice powers, throwing popcorn kernels to blow up someones face. That's just to name a few. Now, Tokyo was destroyed by a candy user and because of that, candy users are hated.
Our protagonist, Tsumugi, is a Candy User. By "coincidence" she is also a lollipop user. She lived a normal life hiding her powers and hiding from recette agents (an organization dedicated to taking down Candy Users) She...well...most of the time hides it anyways- One day, Midori Misaki, a recette agent, recently transfers to the same class and suspects her to be a Candy User after an incident that morning. That's enough beginning plot. Time for my thoughts. Now, it may not have the greatest plot in the world, have any care about character development, or do anything groundbreaking. But the gimmick was good enough to last 19 chapters. Candy....as weapons?...yeah that works. If it was more than 50 I would care a bit more, but this is a short manga you can finish in 40 minutes so being able to make anything interesting enough in only 19 is pretty good.
The manga made me laugh a few times here and there, the art was nice, and it was interesting enough. I've read some really bad stuff about this and was ready for a storm like Metamorphosis or something but was pleasantly surprised.
# Story The story like I said was not that bad. Near chapter 7 I was generally interested on what the ending would be. Not that bad I think. It struggled a bit here and there but not enough for it to cause problems. #Characters The characters to me were the best part. I really enjoyed the small amount of time I had to spend with them.
Minase Tsumugi- Protagonist. Interestingly enough, she was the one I cared the least about. Her whole thing is that she loves sweets and hates the fact lollipops have a bad rap. She was nothing special but that's what I expected.
Misaki Midori- The really weak recette agent, in Tsumugi's class. He made me laugh and was a nice add to the story. The whole "good boy" act got annoying near the end but that's just a me thing. He's pretty stubborn and air headed so I enjoyed him. Touka Irie- Very strong recette agent. She didn't add that much to the story other then shock but she was decent and nothing special. It was cool to see how she would use her icecream power though.
#Art The fight scenes were pretty cool most of the time. The big candy sometimes made things a bit chaotic and hard to understand in some panels, but not to the point where its unreadable. #Final Thoughts Not a bad manga I liked it, it made me laugh, it gave me something to do and i don't regret it
