Plot[]
This series tells the story of a cloud puppy who learns how to fly and moves into a café. The cafe's owner believes that the puppy's tail looks like a cinnamon roll, so the owner gives him the name "Cinnamoroll" ("Cinnamon" (ふわふわ Shinamon) in the Japanese version). He and his friends go on adventures and face the antagonist, a dark cloud named Cavity.
Reception[]
Issue #3 of the comic was #9 on the The New York Times manga best sellers list for April 29-May 5.
Rebecca Silverman of the Anime News Network ranked the series "B" overall, "B-" for the story, and "B" for the art. Silverman argued that the book has a "sweet story, simple art, and bright colors" that appeal to its intended audience, although the book would not hold the interest of an adult reader; she stated "All in all," the first two volumes of the series "provide a nice transition from the picture book to the chapter book, or simply an alternative for the reluctant reader."
