Antique Bakery: Volume 4

This was a great manga, i found it to be very fun, at first then it throw in a deeper story for each charecter which i loved, because it kept the humor as well. only reason i didnt give it a five is because there are only 4 books in all, and i wish the story was longer ^_^ Great book ready all 4 if you haven't its fun and keeps you wanting more!

This series is the best I have read. It is heavy on character and the art is very beautiful. The plot is more textured and mature than other yaoi titles I've read. The sex is present but not graphic or distracting. My only regret is that it's over.

This volume,like the others, shows the characters growing as people, and we finally get more glimpses of the frightening past of the owner, Tachibana. I really enjoyed seeing him confront the events bringing his past back and dealing with them. I was getting a little worried about him as a character, with all that festering emotion shoved to the sidelines all the time! It's easy to see why this series won the Kodansha Manga Award. It has gotten better with every volume.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, it's sad to see the end of this series, but what a ending to a charming series! I think that the ending is just about perfect, some things are tied together very nice and neat and I was pleased to see that I quessed right on somebody being important to Tachibana's case but didn't see how it would end. I hope that it's not a spoiler to say that the series ends with the reader coming to the conclusion that these 4 guys are going to do alright.

i hated to see this series end, but this was a great fiinsh. the book has the four main characters we've come to love, although it focuses more on tachibana and his memories of being kidnapped as a child. as a result this book is by far the most serious of the series, but there are still plenty of comedic moments. the ending is fairly open to interpretation, but by the end we see how the antique bakery has changed all four characters' lives (not to mention the lives of their customers). leaves you with a strong sense of nostalgia, but let's just be glad that we can re-read this great series. definitely recommended, although if you're reading this you prob. already know how good this series is!
