Always wondered what those were made of. I thought it was plum or something

"The forces of darkness" in a cooking manga. Still better than the sorry excuse that are the Noirs in Shokugeki no Soma. At least we don't have a poor attempt at using French language, here.

Damn, a series where the male MC actually shows attraction to the love interest rather than being boneheadedly dense about it? And in a cooking series, where the joke is usually that the MC is too obsessed with cooking to care about romance. Really wish we had more series like this or Hell's Kitchen.

Ah yes. As a kid I eat it too. Sometimes to counter the feel of the bitter medicine too. Ha ha, I feel nostalgic.

It's nice to see the romance part happening so quickly and simply without any drama.

I've always thought it was just a candy, didn't ever know it had other uses and purposes too.

i was thought it is unhealthy because everyone know it as candy
turns out it has good benefit

Aah, I remember eating the crap out of haw flakes
