About Sweetness & Lightning

Sweetness & Lightning (甘々と稲妻) blends comedy and slice of life by TMS Entertainment (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: 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.

Soon after, with those three cooks in the kitchen, it's no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Saori Hayami as Kotori Iida and Rina Endou as Tsumugi Inuzuka. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
