About Antique Bakery

Antique Bakery (西洋 骨董 洋菓子店) blends comedy and slice of life by Nippon Animation and SynergySP (2008). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: A high school crush, a world-class pastry chef, a former middle-weight boxing champion... and a whole lot of cake! Ono has come a long way since the agonizing day in high school when he confessed his love to handsome Tachibana.

Soon after, now, some 14 years later Ono, a realm-class pastry chef and gay playboy has it all. No man can resist Ono's charms (or his cooking skills!) but he has just found a new position under a man named Tachibana. Can this be the only man who resisted his charms, and if so, will the man who once snubbed the "magically gay" Ono get his just deserts?

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Yuusuke Ono (Shinichirou Miki) and Chikage Kobayakawa (Eiji Hanawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Nippon Animation and SynergySP, which means the visual identity of Antique Bakery follows that studio's craft. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Shinichirou Miki voicing Yuusuke Ono gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2008, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
