{{Nihongo|'''''Antique Bakery'''''|西洋 骨董 洋菓子店|Seiyō Kottō Yōgashiten|{{lit}} "Western Antique Cake Shop"|lead=yes}} is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Fumi Yoshinaga]]. The [[slice of life]] series follows the lives of four men who work in a ''[[pâtisserie]]''. It was originally serialized in the [[List of manga magazines|manga magazine]] ''[[Wings (Japanese magazine)|Wings]]'' from 1999 to 2001, and collected into four ''[[tankōbon]]'' volumes published by [[Shinshokan]]; a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] ''[[dōjinshi]]'' (self-published manga) series has also been produced.

The series has been adapted multiple times: as a [[Japanese television drama|live-action television drama]] that aired on [[Fuji TV]] in 2001, as a four-volume [[audio drama]] released from 2002 to 2003, and as a television [[anime]] series produced by [[Nippon Animation]] and [[Shirogumi]] that aired on Fuji TV's [[Noitamina]] programming block in 2008. Two international adaptions – the 2008 South Korean live-action film ''[[Antique (film)|Antique]]'', and the 2021 Thai live-action television series ''[[Baker Boys (Thai TV series)|Baker Boys]]'' – have also been produced. ''Antique Bakery'' and its adaptations have been critically acclaimed: the manga won a [[Kodansha Manga Award]] for best [[Shōjo manga|''shōjo'' manga]] and the Japanese television drama won both the [[Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix]] and multiple Television Drama Academy Awards. The ''Antique Bakery'' manga was licensed for an English-language release by [[Digital Manga Publishing]] in 2005 and [[Nozomi Entertainment]] distributed the anime adaptation in North America.

==Synopsis==
''Antique Bakery'' follows the lives of the four workers at Antique, a ''[[pâtisserie]]'' in residential [[Tokyo]]: store owner and manager Keiichirō Tachibana, [[pastry chef]] Yusuke Ono, apprentice pastry chef Eiji Kanda, and waiter Chikage Kobayakawa. Antique is so named because the ''pâtisserie'' is located in a former [[antique shop]], and uses antique [[tableware]] and furniture in its café. The series focuses on the men as they encounter a variety of comedic and dramatic scenarios, often focused on [[workplace comedy]], the creation and development of pastries, or romantic intrigue. Though the series largely proceeds as a [[slice of life]] story without an overarching plot, Tachibana's desire to find the man who kidnapped him as a child is a recurring storyline; the series climaxes with Tachibana working with the police to find a child kidnapper.

He was [[Child abduction|kidnapped]] at the age of nine, though he retains no memory of the incident beyond his kidnapper feeding him cake every day; consequently, he dislikes sweet foods.

====Spin-off ''dōjinshi'' series====
Following the conclusion of the ''Antique Bakery'' manga series, Yoshinga began writing and illustrating {{nihongo|''Antique Afterwards''|それからのアンティーク|Sore kara no Antiiku}}, a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] manga published as a series of ''[[dōjinshi]]'' ([[Self-publishing|self-published]] [[fan comics]]).{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=234}}{{sfn|Tran|2018|p=45}} In contrast to the main manga series, ''Antique Afterwards'' is more overtly influenced by the ''[[yaoi]]'' (male-male romance, also known as boys' love or BL) genre, and has sexually-explicit content. This includes both sexual encounters merely alluded to in the original series and [[slash fiction]]-inspired scenarios that depict same-sex sexual encounters involving the series' canonically heterosexual characters;{{sfn|Mizoguchi|2003|p=61}} for example, in one such story, three female customers tell each other improvised erotic stories involving Antique's staff.{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=244}} Fourteen ''dōjinshi'' in the ''Antique Afterwards'' series have been created by Yoshinga.{{sfn|Tran|2018|p=45}}

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Antique Bakery'' is noted as Yoshinaga's first major commercial success as a manga artist, following a career in which she was best known as an author of [[Yaoi|boys' love]] (BL) and ''dōjinshi''.{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=234}} In ''[[Manga: The Complete Guide]]'', writer [[Jason Thompson (writer)|Jason Thompson]] gave the manga series four out of five stars, writing that it avoids "cliched sitcom plot while managing to be both character-driven and totally hilarious," and praised its pacing, artwork, and dialogue.<ref name="Thompson"/> Reviewing the series for ''[[The Comics Journal]]'', Noah Berlatsky wrote that its "pop [[Freudianism]] is depressingly ill-advised" in regards to the tragic backstories of the primary characters, while he praised the series' art and character designs.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Berlatsky |first1=Noah |title=Antique Bakery |journal=[[The Comics Journal]] |date=October 2007 |issue=285 |page=113 |url=https://www.hoodedutilitarian.com/2008/05/antique-bakery/}}</ref> In his review for ''[[Anime News Network]]'', Jason Thompson commended the series' simple art, and praised it as "one of the few ''[[bishonen]]'' manga which depicts gay characters and prejudice in even a remotely realistic way."<ref name="1000Manga"/>

Reviewing the anime adaptation for ''[[Anime News Network]]'', Carl Kimlinger praised the series' animation and characters but criticized its romance and kidnapping subplots, writing that ''Antique Bakery'' "top-loads its plot with preposterous romantic entanglements and forces unnecessary structure onto it with Tachibana's kidnapping."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kimlinger |first1=Carl |title=Review: Antique Bakery |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/antique-bakery/sub.dvd-collection |website=Anime News Network |access-date=January 11, 2021 |date=July 29, 2011}}</ref> Cathy Yan lauded the series' voice acting in her review for ''Manga Bookshelf'', but criticized its animation as overly reliant on [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] elements.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Yan |first1=Cathy |title=Don't Fear the Adaptation: Antique Bakery |url=https://mangabookshelf.com/2011/05/08/dont-fear-the-adaptation-antique-bakery/ |website=Manga Bookshelf |access-date=January 11, 2021 |date=May 8, 2011}}</ref>

==Analysis==
===Portrayal of cooking and gender===
Tomoko Aoyama has considered the depiction of cooking in ''Antique Bakery'' in relation to the Japanese concepts of {{nihongo|''hare''|晴れ||used to describe things that are special and exotic}} and {{nihongo|''ke''|ケ||used to describe things that are mundane and trivial}}. While the elaborate cakes and pastries of ''Antique Bakery'' are self-evidently ''hare'', she notes how ''Antique Bakery'' complicates the ''hare''-''ke'' dichotomy through its presentation of gender.{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=242}} While male professional cooking and [[connoisseurship]] are generally regarded as ''hare'' and female cooking is seen as ''ke'', the main characters of ''Antique Bakery'' subvert "assumptions based on age, gender, sexuality, appearance, occupation, education, class, [and] status."{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=242}} For example, Ono is a skilled chef but is coded as female as a result of his homosexuality, while Kanda is regarded by others as cute (a feminine trait) but vulgar (a masculine trait).{{sfn|Tran|2018|p=51}} Desserts in general are seemingly ''ke'' for being delicate and "unmanly", but their exoticism as French pastries for a Japanese clientele, as well as the level of skill and craftsmanship required to create them, renders them as ''hare''.{{sfn|Tran|2018|p=51}}

===Portrayal of homosexuality===
Yoshinaga has described ''Antique Bakery'' as not a work of [[Yaoi|BL]], but as a ''shōjo'' manga with gay characters, stating that "being regarded as BL may limit the range of the audience, but there’s nothing I can do about it, and more importantly, I want my readers to read as they like. Surely we should be allowed to read manga with whatever dogma and prejudice we like."{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=248}} Critics and readers have often considered the series as a work of BL,{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=244}} with Xuan Bach Tran describing ''Antique Bakery'' as "not a BL manga, but a ''shōjo'' work with a lot of BL flavour."{{sfn|Tran|2018|p=43}} Tomoko Aoyama states that while BL elements are "clearly present" in ''Antique Bakery'', in contrast to typical BL works the series does not depict sex or sexuality graphically, and instead "encourages readers to use their imagination" in regards to the nature of the relationships between the characters.{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=244}} She praises the series' effective "use and parody [of] BL conventions,"{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=235}} particularly ''Antique Afterwards'', which she commends as "by no means simple, formulaic pornography" but instead a series that subverts expectations of BL narratives through their use of comedy and irony.{{sfn|Aoyama|2015|p=244}}

Akiko Mizoguchi discusses ''Antique Afterwards'' in her research of ''yaoi'' ''dōjinshi'', noting that while most ''dōjinshi'' are [[derivative work]]s created by [[fan artist]]s, ''Antique Afterwards'' is notable as a [[Fan labor|fan work]] created by the artist themselves.{{sfn|Mizoguchi|2003|p=61}} Mizoguchi considers the series a form of [[underground comix|underground comics]] despite being created by Yoshinaga, noting that the series contains material that would be regarded as too explicit by ''shōjo'' editorial standards, and that ''Antique Bakery'' publisher Shinshokan has not acknowledged the existence of ''Antique Afterwards'' in either ''Wings'' or in the series' ''tankōbon'' editions.{{sfn|Mizoguchi|2003|p=61}}
