Summary:
Keisuke Tachibana. The owner of the Antique Bakery, as well as a waiter. He was childhood friends with Chikage, the son of his family's live-in housekeeper. He was also Ono's classmate in school and harshly rejected Ono's love confession. He seems to be the only man whom Ono finds attractive, but who is not attracted to Ono in return. Tachibana comes from a rich family. He was kidnapped when he was a child. The one thing he remembers about his abductor is that he loved cake and fed him the cakes he bought every single day. Although Tachibana was rescued, his abductor was never found. After this ordeal, his family became overly protective of him. He feels obliged to play the "good boy" for his relatives because he does not want them to worry about him. As a result of his experiences, he often suffers from nightmares and has no taste for sweets..


My review:
Antique Bakery actually turned out better than I expected. Even though there is not much shounen ai in the story and it is mostly one sided and not the main focus but it didn't ruin my impression at the slightest. The only thing I can complain about is that looking at all those delicious cakes was so hard. I wanted to try them all.


Recommend:
For shounen ai and cake fans.
