A review by bookishrealm
Sweetness and Lightning, Volume 1 by Gido Amagakure

3.0

I read this book as a part of the #gettinggraphic readathon and I definitely enjoyed it. I've had this thing lately with cooking manga and I've really enjoyed them; however, this one didn't peak my interest as much as I thought it would. I loved the artwork and I loved that the story focused on a dad that wanted to do nothing more than cook for his daughter or at least learn how to cook; however, it was really slow.

The characters were fun at times, but other times they weren't that interesting and it forced me to take breaks from the manga. I wish the plot moved faster, but it didn't so I didn't find myself as engaged. I am interested in seeing where it goes, the development of relationships, and if the dad is going to learn to cook well enough to satisfy his daughter.
