Premise
Described as a "sweets battle-comedy", the series follows Tsumugi Minase, a "sweets-user" who wields a lollipop weapon thanks to the Toy Toy Candy, a confection that gives those who eat it magic candy powers. However, the power of that same lollipop candy destroyed the city of Tokyo five years ago, therefore she cannot let anyone know of her ability.[3]
Publication
Candy Flurry is written by Ippon Takegushi and illustrated by Santa Mitarashi. The series began in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump on April 18, 2021.[4] Shueisha released the first collected tankōbon volume on August 4, 2021.[5]
The series has been licensed for simultaneous publication in North America as it is released in Japan, with its chapters being digitally launched in English by Shueisha on its Manga Plus service, as well as by Viz Media on its service.[6]

Reception
Hannah Alton of Comic Book Resources praised the first two chapters of Candy Flurry, calling it a "sweet surprise", saying the manga "is off to a promising start thanks to its unique premise and endearing characters." She also believes "it could be the next big thing in Jump" so long as its unique premise does not make the series too obscure.[2]
