About the series
Deaimon is a gentle, ongoing manga series from Kadokawa that began in 2016, following a young man who returns to his family’s traditional Kyoto confectionery shop after a decade away, only to find a mysterious girl claiming to be his father’s new apprentice. Written and illustrated by Ryo Koshino, the series has run for 20 issues, weaving a warmhearted story of inherited recipes, unexpected bonds, and the quiet rhythms of wagashi-making. It matters for its understated, slice-of-life approach to family and craft, capturing the delicate balance between tradition and change through its small, intimate cast.
