Since his parents died, manga artist Ichiro has barely made it, and he has to take care of his two younger brothers with only a middle school education. He doesn’t even have time to learn how to use a computer, so he has to keep fighting with pen and paper.
Ichiro was almost a total wreck when his art assistants quit to go out on their own. He was already busy with schedules, family, and the constant fear of losing his job.
But then Ichiro gets a new helper, and things start to look up for him right away! She is a great artist, always gets her work done on time, and is also very pretty. But she also seems to know a lot about him, and she soon tells him something that makes him think beyond Earth…

In Kodansha’s Good! Afternoon magazine, Amagakure started the 12-volume manga Sweetness & Lightning (Amaama to Inazuma) in 2013 and finished it in August 2018. Before putting the manga out in print, Kodansha Comics first put it out online in English.
