Sweetness & Lightning Manga Ends Next Month
posted on by Karen Ressler
This year's August issue of Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine announced on Friday that Gido Amagakure's Sweetness & Lightning (Amaama to Inazuma) manga will end in the next issue on August 7.
Amagakure (100 Blossoms to Love) launched the manga in Good! Afternoon in 2013, and Kodansha published the manga's eleventh compiled volume on July 6.
Kodansha Comics originally began releasing the manga digitally in English before beginning print releases. Crunchyroll is publishing new chapters as Kodansha is publishing them in Japan, though it no longer hosts catalog chapters.
Kodansha Comics describes the story:
Having lost his wife, math teacher Kouhei Inuzuka is doing his best to raise his young daughter Tsumugi as a single father. He's pretty bad at cooking and doesn't have a huge appetite to begin with, but chance brings his little family and one of his students, Kotori Iida, together for homemade adventures. With those three cooks in the kitchen, it's no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious.
The manga inspired a 12-episode anime adaptation that premiered in July 2016 and streamed on Crunchyroll.
