My #manga purchase arrived today because of an #anime I became completely enamored with, #sweetnessandlightning by #GidoAmagakure. It inspired me to cook new things & not be afraid to fail in the kitchen. I can’t wait to read this series.

@apc This week is "oishii faces" - "Sweetness and Lightning" has a treasure trove of them but I did my best to narrow it to just two. One is Tsumugi taking her first bite out of Kotori's vegetable gratin, the other is Kotori sneaking in a snack before lunch (though she gets discovered by Kouhei).

Nakamura had a very different type of role in 2016 when he played the loving father Kohei in #SweetnessAndLightning. The sole provider of his daughter Komugi following his wife's death, the series follows Kohei's attempts to become a better parent as he connects with his daughter over meals they make together. Kohei is a meeker character than the two previously covered, but Nakamura is just as good here as before, demonstrating a man slowly grappling with grief and demonstrating the love he feels for his daughter.

Next, we're jumping to 2016 with #SweetnessAndLightning, where Hayami played Kotori Iida, the student of the main character who helps and his young daughter enjoy better food and a happier life. A bundle of nerves that's trying her best, Kotori's cuteness and improvements are demonstrated by Hayami's easy switch from neurosis and flustration to a big sister like energy when the moment calls for it.
#AmaamaToInazuma #SweetnessAndLightning is about a guy whose wife unfortunately passed away, leaving him to take care of their young daughter by himself. He's a school teacher, and one of his students invites him and his daughter over to the family restaurant (I think because he's not good at cooking). They all learn to cook together, and he gets to bond more with his daughter. #CookingAnime #AnimeFood #AnimeCooking

I love this manga so much. 🥰😍
