No, it's not a book-length ad for healthy eating, it's a shounen battle manga. Candy Flurry's gimmick is that five years ago, candies called “Toy Toy” gave those who ate them unique powers to manifest gigantic sweets – and then someone using lollipops promptly decimated Tokyo. Tsumugi also uses lollipops, but she's not the one who destroyed the city…she knows no one will believe her because general wisdom says that each Toy Toy gave its consumers unique powers, meaning that no two people have the same giant candies, pastries, or confections. It's not a great position to be in, and it's one that causes Tsumugi a lot of trouble, because if she ever reveals what kind of sweet she uses, the arrest warrant for the lollipop user is likely to work against her.

It's not a terrible premise for an off-the-wall story, and the deadly serious way everyone talks about confections as weapons is definitely entertaining, particularly when paired with the Recette agents' giant cutlery weaponry. But it doesn't really do much beyond the basic premise to distinguish itself from other shounen battle manga. For example, the way that Tsumugi wants to be part of the police force Recette is very similar to Kaiju No. 8's Kafka, and the exam she has to pass is something seen in many titles. Gags are pushed to the breaking point, with Toka's outwardly within, inwardly messy personality being the biggest offender. There's some decent chemistry between Tsumugi and Misaki, a Recette agent who transfers into her class and is willing to actually listen to her, but Toka takes over once she comes in.

All three volumes of the story came out at once, as digital-only releases, so the good news is that you can read the entire story without having to wait. It's not a bad series, but it doesn't quite have the balance right, and the short length doesn't make me think that it has the time to work that out. But it is an interesting premise and Viz's digital releases are on the cheaper side, so you don't have much to lose if you want to check this out.
