Dagashi Kashi is a really simple and easy to follow anime. Main plot is about Hotaru convincing Kokonotsu to take over the family candy shop. And almost 95% of this plot is about candy. Every episode explains literary everything about one or two particular candies but in a fun way.
Other than candy and some really good humor there is also well-placed hinted romance. But it’s more about friendship and young people planning their future. The characters are also well-made, interesting and fun to watch. I’m not a big fan of main female characters because they’re often poorly done but Hotaru is really special. Her candy obsession never stops to amaze me. Downside is that you’ll probably get bored because every episode is similar so even if you skip a few, it’s no big deal. And it definitely doesn’t look like shounen anime to me.
So if you’re interested in japanese candies and you’re looking for some good comedy with no particular storyline this one I for you.
