"*Kehahaha! Don't you understand anything I told you? I live the way I want to, I don't care what anyone else thinks. I'm me. And I'm proud to be me!*"

## First Appearance

### Manga Debut

Blue Ghost Tales

**Adohira Manaka**, known as the **Candy Hero: Bubblegum**, is a pro hero, a model, and one of the side characters of *Blue Ghost Tales*.

## Abilities

**Confection Intuition**: Adohira has innate knowledge of confectionary. They are a master on how to cook candies, deserts, cakes, cookies, donuts, pies, taffies, chocolates, marshmallows, pastries, and other sweets.

### Quirk

**Candy Manipulation**: Adohira can create, shape and manipulate candy, including candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows, etc. However, most candies are fragile unless Adohira increases their durability.

#### Applications

* **Bubblegum Explosion**: By chewing bubblegum, Adohira can cause a bubble to form; it can be as big or as small as they want, and when they reach a desired size, they will explode. They can, however, also cause the bubblegum to entrap their opponent for various means, usually involving their opponent either suffocating to death as the bubble itself doesn't have any air inside it, or the bubble with explode with the opponent inside it, affectively injuring their opponent gravely (could possibly result in death).
* **Candied Fruit Manipulation**: Adohira can create, shape and manipulate candied fruits, they can cause candied fruits to grow, move/attack, mutate candied fruits by rearranging DNA structure, and refresh candied fruits.

* **Candy Constructs**: Adohira can change candy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and create structures of varying permanence.
* **Chocolate Ball Projection**: Adohira can create and project balls of chocolate, which can be thrown or used as a part of melee attacks. Adohira can have the chocolate balls orbit around them, forming a defense barrier.
* **Chocolate Beam**: Adohira can turn any matter, organic or inorganic, into chocolate using a beam of energy.
* **Glycopoeia**: Adohira can turn anything into sweets, candy, confections, ie. anything containing glucose.
* **Gum Manipulation**: Adohira can create, shape and manipulate chewing gum, a soft, cohesive substance intended for chewing but not swallowing, which humans have used for at least 3,000 years. Modern chewing gum was originally made of chicle, a natural latex. By the 1960s, chicle was replaced by butadiene-based synthetic rubber which is cheaper to manufacture. Most chewing gums are considered polymers.
* **Honey Manipulation**: Adohira can create, shape and manipulate honey, a viscous, sweet substance created mostly by bees through nectar collection/ingestion, enzymatic treatment, regurgitation and water evaporation. Honey bees are the most well-known producers.
* **Hypnotic Milk**: Adohira can induce a hypnotic state via milk.
* **Milk Generation**: Adohira can generate milk, whether by drawing from already existing milk (theirs, others or separate from the bodies), or by manifesting it from anywhere they want. Do note, however, that this ability represents the generation of milk beyond what is naturally possible for any human to do (via natural/normal lactation).
