Plot

[edit]

Shikada Dagashi, a countryside shop selling cheap candy and snacks ("dagashi") has been run by the Shikada family for nine generations, but Kokonotsu does not want to take over the shop from his father, Yō, instead aiming to become a manga artist. Hotaru Shidare visits the shop one day hoping to recruit Yō to her family's company, the sweets manufacturer Shidare Corporation, but Yō refuses unless Hotaru first can convince Kokonotsu to take over Shikada Dagashi.

Characters

[edit]
Hotaru Shidare (枝垂 ほたる, Shidare Hotaru)
Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu[5] (Japanese); Tabitha Ray[6] (English)
An eccentric girl who is very passionate about sweets and snacks. Her father owns a famous snacks company and she came to Shikada store to recruit Yō as their company's planned shop chain's manager. As Yō will not leave as long as Kokonotsu is unwilling to succeed him as Shikada storekeeper, she quickly strikes a deal with him: she will convince Kokonotsu to take over the store in return for his employment. From then on she tries to persuade Kokonotsu using many different ways such as games, stories, and riddles. She is not good at chance games, so uses her other skills to make Kokonotsu consider taking over the shop. In the final chapter, she asks Kokonotsu if he wants to marry her. The relationship between them remains ambiguous.
Kokonotsu Shikada (鹿田 ココノツ, Shikada Kokonotsu)
Voiced by: Atsushi Abe[5] (Japanese); Todd Haberkorn[6] (English)
Kokonotsu and his father Yō live in a countryside town where they run a small sweets store. He aspires to be a manga artist, an ambition that puts him at odds with his father who wants him to inherit the store which has been run by the family for eight generations. He constantly finds himself manning the cash register, more often than not a result of his father's trickery. After Hotaru's arrival, he also has to put up with her antics as well. He is nicknamed Kokonatsu (ココナツ, "Coconuts"). His given name is a Kun'yomi pronunciation of the Japanese numeral 九, Kokonotsu (ここのつ, "Ninth"); it works as a pun, referring to his being the ninth generation of the family that will run the store. At the final chapter, he got confessed by Hotaru and was going to give her an answer once she is back. However, their relationship remains ambiguous after she came back.
Saya Endō (遠藤 サヤ, Endō Saya)
Voiced by: Manami Numakura[5] (Japanese); Sara Ragsdale[6] (English)
Kokonotsu's classmate and childhood friend, who runs a nearby cafe with her older twin brother Tō. She has a longstanding crush on Kokonotsu. At first alarmed by Hotaru's presence, she quickly befriends her, as their goals are aligned: Hotaru wishes Kokonotsu to run the store while she wants him to keep staying in town. Saya has a hidden talent of toy mastery like what she did with ohajiki; at one point she defeats a well-prepared Hotaru at a Menko game, an event that leads Hotaru to start addressing her with suffix shi (師) ('master' in Funimation dub), an antiquated designation used by disciples to their masters.
Tō Endō (遠藤 豆, Endō Tō)
Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki[5] (Japanese); Justin Pate[6] (English)
Older twin brother of Saya and a good friend of Kokonotsu. A laid back person who usually wears a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses. He and Saya run a cafe named "Cafe Endō". His antics usually earns the wrath of his twin sister Saya, ending with a bruised face and broken sunglasses.
Yō Shikada (鹿田 ヨウ, Shikada Yō)
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara[5] (Japanese); Jeremy Inman[6] (English)
Kokonotsu's father as well as the current owner of Shikada store. He is desperate to make his son the 9th head of the shop so that his legacy will continue. He agrees to Hotaru's bargain that if she can convince his son to be the next head of his shop, he would start working for Hotaru's company as the company's planned dagashi shop chain manager. Like his son, his given name is a Kun'yomi pronunciation of the Japanese numeral 八, Yō (ヨウ, "Eighth"), and works as a pun for his generation of shop owner.
Hajime Owari (尾張 ハジメ, Owari Hajime)
Voiced by: Chinatsu Akasaki[7] (Japanese); Caitlin Glass[8] (English)
An intelligent woman who has trouble keeping a job due to her laziness and other personality quirks. She ends up working at Shikada Dagashi in exchange for room and board.
Beniyutaka Shidare (枝垂 紅豊, Shidare Beniyutaka)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese); Chris Wehkamp[8] (English)
Hotaru's older brother and the manager of the local convenience store that recently opened across from Shikada Dagashi. Beni finds dagashi shops too old fashioned. He considers Kokonotsu virtuous and his rival, after he comments on how the stores overpriced cakes wouldn't sell, and recommended selling dagashi aimed at children and adults who would easily buy them.
Tamako Tamai (玉井 たまこ, Tamai Tamako)
Voiced by: Asami Hara (Japanese); Stephanie Young (English)
An old acquaintance of Yō Shikada who runs an okonomiyaki shop.
