Antique Bakery Plot:
Keiichiro Tachibana opens a store called Antique Bakery despite his hate for sweets. He ends up employing several odd characters. One of them, Ono, had a huge crush on Tachibana back in high school. Several years later, Ono has become what they call the “Devilish gay” as he can charm almost any man into sleeping with him except Tachibana. He is coincidently employed by Tachibana as the patisserie of Antique Bakery. They’re soon joined by Eiji Kanda, a professional boxer, who becomes Ono’s apprentice, and Chikage Kobayakawa, who works for Tachibana’s family as a body guard.
