Reception
[edit | edit source]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 believed at the time that "it could be the next big thing in Jump" so long as its unique premise does not make the series too obscure.[2]
