Sweetness and Lightning 6



Teacher Kouhei is a single father who is terrible at cooking. His adorable little daughter Tsumugi barely remembers the cooking of her mother, who's passed away. But, then, the pair comes across a teenage girl eating rice balls and crying (in joy?) at the park. She takes Kouhei and Tsumugi to her mother's restaurant, where they taste their first home-cooked meal in ages. A tribute to the power of food to bind people together.

A single dad, a little girl, and a quirky teenager learn about food's power to help people grow and love!

Praise for Sweetness and Lightning 6

"If you have a hankering for seeing the joy of cooking (and eating!), then Sweetness and Lightning is there for you. The series isn't as over-the-top as [other cooking manga, but it shares] a similar sense of all-encompassing excitement." - Ogiue Maniax
"It makes you feel good, and it makes you feel happy, and these kinds of things are the only things that keep my cold iron heart still pumping... Go give this manga the readership it deserves, because its freakin' amazing, and deserves more attention than it has right now." - Abysmal
