Food for the Soul
This was such a warm-hearted and comfy anime that I'd like to binge any time.
To be honest I was having a bad time and this anime managed to pick me up just after a few episodes.
The realistic and rewarding interactions between multiple persons with excellently written character were awesome.
If you are in the market for a slice-of-life anime and you aren't in your best condition, I suggest you to have this a go. It worked for me.
I especially loved how they managed to bring in music, food, slight romance and the best characters into a single story.
The Opening and Ending songs really boost the charm of this anime.
Definitely in my re-watch list and this is masterpiece for me.

Deaimon, that is the title of this heartwarming slice of life show.
OK, I will rate with several points:
1. Story: this anime is about adult man, named Nagomu who works in his house in Kyoto to help his parents's business selling wagashi or traditional Japan sweets. Along with Itsuka, diligent little girl who works in his house and true heir of this business since Nagomu's dad doesn't trust his own son too much. Despite this, Nagomu serves Itsuka as her own biological father. So the show is mix of culinary and childcare as well. New characters appears episode by episode.
2. Art: Great. You can tell them especially the snapshot of nature.
3. Characters: quite likable and enjoyable but I think lack of young male characters to balance Nagomu.
4. Sound: Good. Opening song, Ending song really f…

There's a concept that comes up in fiction that I have my doubts about: the idea that you can just “rewrite” a memory by doing the exact same thing with a different person or intention. Most often it seems to pop up in romance, where a character thinks that a bad romantic or sexual experience can be “rewritten” to remove the trauma, but there's been a lingering sense in Deaimon that perhaps Itsuka can rewrite her memories and trauma about her father's abandonment with Nagomu – or at least that's how it's felt to Itsuka herself. And maybe that is what Nagomu's parents intended when they first presented the idea of Nagomu acting as a father to the girl way back at the series' start; no one in his family is especially good at communicating what they actually mean, so even if that wasn't the p…

I think this anime is the hidden gem in spring 2022 anime.Unlike other animes that has released in spring 2022, I didn't expect for this anime to be good.What I thought was just I would just watch like 2 or 3 episodes a day and not binge watch it because I thought it was just like another slice of life anime.
I was wrong.The story wasn't like any other slice of life anime where different events happen in every 1 or 2 episodes.This anime had a story which connected all 12 episodes were it is kinda unusual from the rest of the slice of life animes that I have watched.

I'm actually mad that this ended lmao. I hope a Season 2 gets made cos it's actually really really good. It's much slower paced and obviously as a slice of life, nothing much really happens.
But with that said, the animation of the Japanese desserts and the relationships within the shop are so fun to watch. Nagomu is the obvious comedic relief here but he isn't just an air-headed guy with nothing to offer, he actually works hard and is very patient with everything going on around him. Itsuka is like a tsundere daughter lmao and I love how cold she is. She's also very responsible and I like how mature she is cos sometimes she's put into situations where the adults are more immature than her and it's such a laugh.
A must watch when you're feeling all warm and cosy. An 8/10 for me.

Nagomu went to Tokyo to chase his dream as a musician, but returns to his family home, Ryokushou (a Japanese sweet shop), when his father is hospitalized. There he finds out they’ve adopted Itsuka, a young girl which is much more serious than the laid-back Nagomu, where he’s asked to act as a father figure to her (don’t worry, it’s a completely wholesome relationship, without any creepy romantic development/undertones). Deaimon follow a semi-episodic structure, where the cast slowly expand, as we introduce and explore different characters each episode, forming a comfy community with Ryokushou/Nagomu as the central location/character.
Decent prodcution, with a soothing color palette and soundtrack, fitting the relaxed atmosphere of the show.
Heads-up:
- The drama is quite slow and mundane…

DEAIMON
Deaimon is about Nagomu Irino as he returns to his family's home for the first time in 10 years. Along with his homecoming, his eagerness to takeover the family sweets shop (Ryokushou) is interrupted by Itsuka Yukihira, an abandoned girl that was taken in by the Ryokushou household. Deaimon tells the tale of Itsuka's coming to terms with her parents abandonment as well as Nagomu's maturity and development.
STORY - 7/10
Deaimon is a very classic and traditional slice of life story and it clearly has the blueprints for one. The main plot of Itsuka's abandonment and her growth as a young child was very heartwarming, but nothing really seemed special or unique. It had the classic slice of life tropes of sprinkling in a little romance, a new character here and there, and minor conflic…

Just a pure, wholesome, lovely, family-friendly confection-themed Anime.
Frankly, I expected a bit more from the drama aspect of the story, and a bit more fun from the abundant amount of characters. But those were just my expectations and, I can't blame the show for that. Overall, a relaxing and light-hearted Anime to watch.
PROS: Lovely Soundtrack. Fun male-protag with good VA. Artistic Visuals. Recommended for everyone.
CONS: Side characters and their stories were either lackluster, generic, and/or forgettable. Same thing with running gags which (imo) you only remember when they mention it again on some episodes.
STORY:
Itsuka's family situation, Nagomu's road to maturity, and these two's development into a father-daughter dynamic. These things will be the main driving point of the sto…

Deaimon is one of those animes which you start watching and don't realise where those precious 23 minutes went by.
All of the aspects of this anime can be described by just one word - SWEET.
The story is about Itsuka, who is searching for her Father and Nagomu, who has returned to his hometown after 10 years to help out his family, and also takeover their Wagashi shop because of his father's hospitalization - Because of Hemorrhoids 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
And the OP - "Sumire" by Sakamoto Maaya and ED - Koko ni Aru Yakusoku were just soooo good that you can't really skip it out.
The animation style, which looks old compared to other animes is truly fitting for it and sets the tone perfectly.
This anime is really what it claims to be - Recipe for Happiness

Deaimon a recipe for happiness....Surly this is one of those Slice of Life anime with a soft touch, so:

(THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS)
Deaimon, also known as Recipe of Happiness, is a story about finding. Everybody at one point in their lives is looking for something, whether something small or large. Adapted by the Young Ace manga by the same name, this wholesome yet somehow sorrowful anime is about a girl named Itsuka and our protagonist Nagomu, who are both looking for something in their lives.
The story is outstanding. The main topic of the story is our heroine, Itsuka looking for her father, who left her at Ryokushou. We are often presented with flashbacks of her dad and their life until he left her. While looking for her father at the station, that's where she meets our protagonist Nagomu, who has returned after 10 years of being a musician in Tokyo. Nagomu's band broke up, a…

Slice of life lovers, welcome! Anime watchers, proceed with caution.
I always like to start a review with some background or context. Slice of life is one of my favorite genre in anime. I'm a sucker for a good story and emotional impacts. During every anime season, I mostly watch shows that I will follow weekly or that I believe I will complete. Deaimon was my top pick for spring 2022 and was the show I gave my utmost attention. After its first couple of episodes, I truly believed it would end up being a great or even excellent anime. To put it simply, Deaimon is a rather average series that leaves alot on the table.
One of the major gripes I have with this anime is how much of it is a setup for a story we might or might not ever get a follow-up. This anime ends up having accomplish next…

"Deaimon : Recipe for Happiness" follows Itsuka & Nagomu working at Ryokushou, a Wagashi (sweet) shop and as the Anime progresses, you start to see the character relationships, their struggles and their resolutions for said problems, via sweets aka "Wagashi". A quick debunk of the title gives away what the show really is about.
*Deai* (出会い) means "new encounter" or "to meet someone new", *mon* (もん), as an abbreviation of *mono* (もの), means "thing", but *Deaimon* (であいもん) means various seasonal food. So in each episode, you meet a new character, or new encounter between already introduced characters which intertwines with different sweets it shows in each episode. This Anime shows, while not in-detail the sweet making process in Ryokushou and how these chanced encounters will find a meaning…

Deaimon is a decent feel good anime about 2 people who're very different and have different issues being Itsuka with the slightly more serious issue which is helped alot by Nagomu who allows her to see the world and herself in a different life. I found the story to this anime very nicely done as a feel good anime should be as eventhough the characters slowly develops as a person and grows from the family she's around.
The confectionary theme is also nice and allows for the characters involved to bounce off eachother from what the different sweets mean from meaning of them and the art of them.
As of right now I'd personally give this anime a 7.5 since it was very good but not so good that it brought much new to the table but it did accomplish that feel good feeling it set out to from the ch…

*This review contains heavy spoilers of episode 3 and 10*
Kamichu! is an anime aired in 2005 that tells the story of Yurie, a middle schooler who becomes a kami overnight. The structure of the story develops into multiple episodic adventures where Yurie must approach her new responsibilities and solve human problematics and wishes, all that while being an actual middle schooler with middle school worries and ambitions. Kamichu is a truly sweet experience with a memorable soundtrack and a vibrant soul that manifests through each one of its frames, with characters that you cheer for, an exquisite sense of nostalgia, and a surprising innocent fully-fledged romance, accompanied by an award-winning direction. Why would I mention Kamichu here? Because Deaimon fails at basically everything that K…

Every once in a while we get these slow burn, character driven stories that offer advice and legitimately solid examples of how to pick yourself up after failure. Deaimon does exactly that and really came out of nowhere as the pleasant surprises of the season.
At this point in my life, I love anime that end up being thought provoking and allow me to grow along with the characters. I like characters who are relatable, not perfect and organic. This show has all of that as well as some pretty educational cooking information too.
I’m not going to lie, as someone who loves romance drama and unfinished relationship business plot lines, I absolutely loved Kanoko and Nagomu’s relationship in this. They felt like actual normal people which is so hard to come by in modern anime where it’s usually…

Of all the comfy, slice-of-life shows this season, mangaka Rin Asano's story about a family-found situation, meshed with the delicacies of wagashi a.k.a Japanese confectionery sweets, is the ultimate combination of "comfort within your own home" and the genuine loving kindness of a well-knitted family-oriented relationship that's a charm to watch. And despite this manga being out since 2016, I'm surprised that even a few years onwards until today, this has not received an English translation, and even if you do find one, it's hard to come by. Despite this, Deaimon is really a hidden gem that I felt was and is now still underrated and underappreciated quite a fair bit, for a show that honestly didn't garner the reputation that it truly deserves.
As the title suggests, Deaimon is loosely tr…
