Based on Manga with the same title by Fumi Yoshinaga, 'Antique Bakery' (in translation) anime will bring cheer to your home. The story starts with Tachibana partnering with Ono, the pastry chef to open a Western bakery shop called Antique. Come along in the story is Eiji, a retired boxing champion who decided to become Ono's apprentice after trying his cake. To make the drama more lively, a new guy is added, Chikage who is Tachibana's 'bodyguard' decided to company his 'master' joined the club as a waiter. Together they bring cheers to the customers with the super lucious looking cakes while solving the mistery behind Tachibana's past.
I come to know this anime because I watched the J-dorama years ago. Eiji is played by Hideaki Takizawa and the soundtrack is by Mr Children. It's a very lively drama minus Tachibana's kidnapping frenzy during his childhood. And, off course the drama must be PG rating if not PG-13, so Ono's yaoi episodes are out.
To my surprise, now they also have the K-movie version of it. Starring Joo Ji Hoon as Tachibana. FYI, he's the prince in 'Goong'. And, as Ono is Kim Jae Wook. For those fans, this movie will be a treat of eye candy guys serving cakes to the girls' tables. But, I'm not sure whether this will be as good as the J-drama. Off course, nothing can beat the anime because everything is possible in anime. Look at Ono's yaoi madness in episode 4, 5 and his relationship with Chikage. All in all, this is a prefect recipe of success of having 4 bishounens all together in 1 bakery shops and which girls who doesn't like desserts? All are 'kireii' and 'kawaii'. Ne?
